Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Absolutely Wonderful, Enjoyable, Entertaining, LOVED IT, 3 Aug 1999 By A Customer This was the first mystery book that wasn't just about a brutal murderer or sick person. This was a murder, that wasn't a serial killer, not the kind of thing that would give you nightmares. It was just a normal guy's life mixed in with the capture of his ex-girlfriend. I loved every word of the story, and Robert Johnson was an incredibly clever character! I recommend this book to anyone who has half a sense of humor and the need to read a cleverly put together story that feels like it's coming right from the person's mouth!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Of all the books I read that summer, this was the ONLY book that I ever recommended to the editor I worked for. Guess they missed out on this one! This is a quirky, smart mystery. My only complaint was the name of that cat--is it still Robert Johnson? I hope the author changed it!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   better than a 2,000 calorie dessert!, 28 April 1999 By A Customer i just read this book for the second time in as many days. this guy has a real gift for writing, from the snappy dialog and wry characterizations to the description of his old hometown. the plot (rescuing an old girlfriend from the bad guys who turn out to be a little too familiar for comfort) was maybe a bit predictable, but the writing was so stylish that it didn't matter. i loved tres, his gutsy discipline and his unwillingness to back down from anything, and i'm hoping to hear more about robert johnson, his feline sidekick, in the next book. garrett provided an interesting undertone as the older brother who occasionally overloads on reality. altogether a very slick, quick read. well done, mr. riordan!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Most Recent Customer Reviews An easy to read mystery with Texas spice A friend gave me this book as a gift and I had it hidden away until I recently found it. I'm very glad I did. Read more Published on 29 Mar 1999 A MUST read book... Loved it loved it loved it !!!!! This book was fast paced and interesting throughout. All of Riordan's characters believeable and exciting.. Published on 13 Dec 1998 Robert Johnson Is Terrific Any author who can create a enchilada eating cat named Robert Johnson captures my interest immediately. I smiled throughout this book and laughed out loud several times. Read more Published on 27 Aug 1998 A yuppie's cliched view of the Alamo City It's not so much that Rick Riordan gets so much terribly wrong about San Antonio and it's people. It's that he does it in such a cliched and stereotyped manner. Read more Published on 6 Aug 1998 Sizzling in San Antonio As I read this book I thought it must be an old hand writing under a pen name. It was very well done! Read more Published on 11 April 1998 Parrothead alert! Jimmy Buffett fans be warned, don't miss this book. The author is obviously "one of us" and you'll find plenty to enjoy in this novel.
