Publisher's summary

It was a simpler time.

Widower Jacob Ernst struggles to raise his two young sons, Nathan and Mead, on their modest farm. They’ve grown up listening to the nighttime songs of hounds in the pursuit of the wily ringtail. Chasing raccoon through darkened hills, Jacob teaches his sons the legends of their hometown and a deep respect for all woodland creatures. For this is Painted Post—a storied place where the lessons of life, love, and death play out beneath its mighty oaks.

But worlds collide.

Evil follows the Ernsts and their hounds into these mystical hills. The scourge of the illegal drug trade, coupled with the treachery of one of their own, leads to an inevitable showdown. Some will learn not all of Painted Post’s vivid tales are pure legend, and this rugged woodland wields a brutal justice. For in the darkest hollows, unbreakable bonds are forged.

Very Inviting

The Last Coon Hunter (5th Anniversary Edition) is the 1st book of the Ryland Creek Saga. It takes place in upstate New York in an area called Ryland Creek outside of the town of Painted Post. The author does a great job of setting the time and tone of the area. It's about a family who hunts raccoon and raises great dogs as well. The story is set appropriately 4 decades ago. Kind of a innocent time before drugs , murder, and the modern world would enter into this quiet, mystic place. All of these and the supernatural come into play as you listen to the narrator draw you in. This book will leave you wanting more. Good thing, because there are more books in this series. I give it, " 2 thumbs up"!

Character development is top notch

It’s been a long time since I have read a fiction book and the character development was great! I felt like I knew these people. Great story and plot as well.
