FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
The Ornery Gene by Warren C Embree wasn’t my favorite book but I did enjoy it. This book did have a good amount of suspense in the book which I did enjoy. It has been quite a long time since I have read any book that has to do with cowboys and a good mystery. I didn’t hate any of the characters but I also wasn’t the biggest fan of any of them either. I did feel like some parts of the book were really long-winded and yet other parts seemed to be rushed. I did like that each chapter had the date and time that the chapters took place because it made it super easy to follow along and understand the time frame. I liked this because it was interesting to see how quickly things happened. I always am left wondering if something like this could really happen and in this case, I could see it actually happening. I wasn’t super shocked with the outcome of this book but because I was able to figure out most of what happened but there were a few things that I didn’t figure out which was a nice. If you are looking for a mystery book that is a quick read I would give this book a shot.

When itinerant ranch hand Buck Ellison took a job with Sarah Watkins at her ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska, he thought he had found the place where he could park his pickup, leave the past behind, and never move again.
On a rainy July night, a dead body at the south end of Sarah’s ranch forces him to become a reluctant detective, digging into the business of cattle breeding for rodeos and digging up events from his past that are linked to the circumstances surrounding the murder of Sam Danielson.
Working with his boss Sarah, her nephew Travis Martin, and the cook Diane Gibbons, Buck unmasks the murderer, but at the cost of learning the reality of past events that he chooses to keep to himself.
