Blind Tiger
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Thatcher Hutton, a war-weary soldier on the way back to his cowboy life, jumps from a moving freight train to avoid trouble . . . and lands in more than he bargained for. On the day he arrives in Foley, Texas, a local woman goes missing. Thatcher, the only stranger in town, is suspected of her abduction, and worse. Standing between him and exoneration are a corrupt mayor, a crooked sheriff, a notorious cathouse madam, a sly bootlegger, feuding moonshiners . . . and a young widow whose soft features conceal an iron will.
What was supposed to be a fresh start for Laurel Plummer turns to tragedy. Left destitute but determined to dictate her own future, Laurel plunges into the lucrative regional industry, much to the dislike of the good ol' boys, who have ruled supreme. Her success quickly makes her a target for cutthroat competitors, whose only code of law is reprisal. As violence erupts, Laurel and—now deputy—Thatcher find themselves on opposite sides of a moonshine war, where blood flows as freely as whiskey.

- The year 1920 comes in with a roar in this rousing and suspenseful novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown. Prohibition is the new law of the land, but murder, mayhem, lust, and greed are already institutions in the Moonshine Capitol of Texas.
Thatcher Hutton, a war-weary soldier on the way back to his cowboy life, jumps from a moving freight train to avoid trouble . . . and lands in more than he bargained for. On the day he arrives in Foley, Texas, a local woman goes missing. Thatcher, the only stranger in town, is suspected of her abduction, and worse. Standing between him and exoneration are a corrupt mayor, a crooked sheriff, a notorious cathouse madam, a sly bootlegger, feuding moonshiners . . . and a young widow whose soft features conceal an iron will.
What was supposed to be a fresh start for Laurel Plummer turns to tragedy. Left destitute but determined to dictate her own future, Laurel plunges into the lucrative regional industry, much to the dislike of the good ol' boys, who have ruled supreme. Her success quickly makes her a target for cutthroat competitors, whose only code of law is reprisal. As violence erupts, Laurel and—now deputy—Thatcher find themselves on opposite sides of a moonshine war, where blood flows as freely as whiskey. - reviews

Starred review from June 28, 2021
Set in 1920, this superior thriller from bestseller Brown (Thick as Thieves) firmly anchors all the action in the plot. Laurel Plummer, the mother of an infant, is stuck in a remote shack with her father-in-law near the little town of Foley, Tex., after the sudden death of her WWI vet husband. Thatcher Hutton, a discharged soldier who’s just leapt off a boxcar, turns up at the Plummer place, asking for water and directions to the nearest town. His first night in a Foley boarding house, Thatcher is awakened “by a gun barrel jammed against his cheekbone” and an accusation that he kidnapped and possibly murdered Mila Driscoll, the local doctor’s missing wife. After Thatcher is released from jail for lack of evidence, the sheriff makes him a part-time deputy and he sets out to find the truth behind Mila’s disappearance. Meanwhile, Laurel, who’s in dire financial straits, helps her father-in-law expand his moonshining business. Conflict ensues as the two wind up on opposite sides of the law. Laurel and Thatcher are strong and inventive characters, and their surprising decisions and evolving relationship will keep readers engaged. Brown shows why she remains in the top rank of her field.

Starred review from July 1, 2021
Laurel Plummer loses her husband and infant daughter in the same year, and she's not going to lose her father-in-law as well. When she finds out his late-night handyman jobs are really trips to his moonshine still, she's livid. Then she finds ways to improve the business, and soon they're catching the attention of the formidable roadhouse madam, Gert, and the crooked mayor, Bernie Croft. Thatcher Hutton is just passing through Foley, Texas--he arrives by jumping off a freight train--but his powerful skills of observing people seem handy to Sheriff Bill Amos, who more or less deputizes him in his efforts to prevent a full-on moonshine war. Unfortunately, this puts him at odds with Laurel, and that's the last place Thatcher wants to be. Brown doesn't often delve into historical fiction territory, but she does here with gusto, and readers will practically taste the dusty streets of Foley and feel every rickety bump of the moonshiners' trucks. There are shoot-outs and reformed prostitutes and a no-good hillbilly family, but none of it feels like an empty stereotype--it's just all a lot of fun. Combined with Brown's knack for romantic tension and page-turning suspense, this one is a winner. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Brown's romantic suspense novels are always bestsellers, and this historical tale of love and moonshine will be no different.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

- content: Narrator Jason Culp has a challenging job with this audiobook. There are lots of characters--good, bad, young, old, sexy, despicable--and Culp has to find appropriate voices for all. Some are hits, like that of Sheriff Bill Amos, and some are misses, like that of Thatcher Hutson, the young cowboy hero. His voices for some of the female characters are also not quite on target. The story is set in Texas in 1920, just as Prohibition has become law. Listeners will be drawn into the battle between the moonshiners and the Prohibitionists, with the law standing somewhere in between. Listeners will also hear of the tragic aftereffects of WWI on soldiers and their families. Drawn-out romantic tension, well-described settings, and plot twists keep listeners engaged.
