When state game warden Tony Leach responds to an emergency call about a hunter who has been shot and killed at a deer camp in the woods of northern Minnesota, there’s no way he can be prepared for the twisted web into which he’s been thrust.
Five years removed from a stint with the Minneapolis Police Department, Tony Leach is a game warden for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Content to spend his days in the woods and on the water enforcing fishing and hunting laws, he thought he’d left violent crime behind when he left the city. But a single call from dispatch two days before the deer-hunting season opens changes that.
Now, he’s pushed into working a case he really shouldn’t be involved with, and digging for the truth in the death of a noted political operative that some high-powered people would prefer remain buried in the northern Minnesota woods. As Leach pursues those responsible, he finds people and things aren’t exactly what they seem. And as the investigation goes on and the web unravels, it becomes increasingly clear the only way for it to end is with a killer’s – or his – demise.

Bemidji is a place I want to see. I really liked the descriptions of a more rural lifestyle and I wouldn't mind a visit to Bemidji. Two Shots is very well written and the plot is great.I liked the game warden concept. It was a nice change from the typical PI, FBI agent, etc. The characters are well developed, both good and bad. I couldn't help but like Tony. He's pretty much a regular guy, but he has a tendency to be more dramatic than most men. While his dramatics are irritating at times, this personality trait makes him believable and human. How many people do you know that don't have some little irritating trait?
There is plenty of action and intrigue. I didn't find any "slow" or boring areas. The pace is pretty quick.
There was some coarse language, but it seemed appropriate and wasn't off-putting or overused. There was a small amount of sexual content; it wasn't what I would consider graphic and it was brief. There was violence.
I really enjoyed Two Shots and would recommend it. I would read this author again.

Two Shots Tony Leach Book 1 eBook Joe Albert Reviews
This was a pretty good mystery thriller overall, and the premise appealed to me because of the strong outdoor theme, but I found it a little hard to really get into at times.
I think my main problem was trying to connect with Tony Leach, the conservation officer. He was quite a flawed character--prone to drinking, insensitive and a bit of a jerk around women, adversarial sometimes in his dealings with other people and his boss. While this might have made him seem more of a real man with real issues instead of an impossibly perfect, macho hunk, it also made me dislike him rather strongly at times. I especially thought his relationship with Sarah was cringe-worthy.
There were no detailed, graphic sex scenes, which was a plus for me, and the dangerous, dramatic climax at the end was unexpected and quite well done. There was some foul language in the book, which is not something I really enjoy reading, but, again, its inclusion lent a realistic feel to the story because real men <i>do</i> have a tendency to use colourful language at times! )
Sometimes a book is just a good read. Something to guiltily pass the waning days of summer with instead of doing all the things one you had planned to do in May and June. If you are in need to spend the time reading instead facing the routine of facing the real world, Two Shots is perfect for you.
It is writing at it traditional finest. Joe Albert, the author found a way to rediscover the art of writing a novel without undue violence, sex or even crude language. It is as refreshing as the wintery Minnesota hunting town that all the action takes place. In this book the town is as much of a character in the story as the actual people. It brings most of us to an America we never knew existed. People know each other's names, hunting is done with respect for the animals that are offered up for sport every year and even the weather plays a role in this. Mr. Albert does not merely write about the town, he paints it, with fine details.
This of course should not take away from the story itself. The story's protagonist , a former Minneapolis cop who has a few issues of his own turned wildlife conservation officer, is happily enjoying hunting season. Making sure people play by the rules, don't get drunk and shoot each other and the usual duties of the start of hunting season , when he answers a call for shots being fired (not unusual during hunting season) and ends up stumbling on a murder scene. The victim is a political strategist involved in a brutal runoff election after a particularly Pyrrhic election.
The beauty of this book, part of what makes it well worth staying indoors or taking your office phone on the hook is the slow, steady build up. The lost art of character development and `Showing not telling" keeps you wanting to turn the page to see what is next and is paced to match the speed of life in the idyllic (and I suppose murderous) town. Characters are flawed but not over dramatically so, they seem to be people it is possible to meet in real life.
Is this a genre changing novel that will find itself in the annals of great influential American literature? It probably won't be but not every novel needs to be. This is a well written book that goes back to good old fashioned writing to tell a great story. Sometimes that is reason enough to buy and read a book.
No more books by this author! O stink!
I loved this! Love it!
I appreciate no explicit sex scenes.
As a favor, Conservation Officer Leach is asked to look into the death of a man who was with a group of his friends before deer-hunting season officially began. For no apparent reason, Jennings (not Waylon) was shot in the back while sitting around a campfire. This turns out to be more and more complicated as evidence comes to light and facts are established.
Leach is not portrayed as a macho hunk whom women swoon over but as a real man with real issues that will have the reader upset with him at times and wondering just what he's doing. Leach makes mistakes in his relationships and in his boss' eyes. He's not the best looking or the best at what he does. He listens to Waylon Jennings and other sappy cowboy music. His life consists mostly of eating, drinking, and working. He's not a man whom you'd wish in your life and that's what sets Joe Albert's "Two Shots" apart.
Probably not a page-turner but definitely not prosaic in any sense of the word.
