Big Flies by Keith Hirshland

In Sierra Nevada, Leland’s father, Chester Daniel David, highly celebrated travel writer dies. Leland becomes heir to the estate.  It is there that Leland comes across disturbing evidence that all the travel stories his father told were not authentic.  Worse, Leland is compelled to solve the mystery of what Chester had really been up to and at the same time, try to solve several related unsolved mysteries.

Some of the unsolved mysteries used in the story are real mysteries that are still unsolved today like the D. B. Cooper plane skyjacking and ransom demand in the Pacific Northwest and the inexplicable vanishing of $1 million from the Chicago First National Bank.

Big Flies is an entertaining search for the truth.  Keith Hirshland uses lots of humor and a well drawn out and colorful cast of characters.  With an intriguing plot and beautiful landscape, Hirshland weaves his tale seamlessly. I don’t read a lot of mysteries but I am so glad I read ‘Big Flies’!  I loved how Hirshland tied in real events to give it a more realistic feel.  I truly didn’t want it to end!  Highly recommended!

I received the ebook for my honest opinion.

4.5/5
