About this ebook
When a county employee is found shot to death in sun-drenched daylight while sitting in his county road grader, Undersheriff Bill Gastner is faced with puzzling questions. The simplest explanation–that an errant bullet from a careless target shooter’s rifle blew out Larry Zipoli’s brains–is soon discarded as inconsistencies surface. The fatal bullet shows no rifling marks, and investigation reveals that the shooter walked directly toward the road grader, in full view of the victim–who did nothing to defend himself. In addition to the demands of the investigation, Gastner learns that Sheriff Eduardo Salcido has hired a new deputy without discussing the matter with his undersheriff. Gastner learns that the new hire is destined to be the first female road patrol deputy in the history of Posadas County. Thus begins Gastner’s relationship with Estelle Reyes, whose shrewd observations shed important light on a crime that rattles all kinds of skeletons lurking in Posadas County closets.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is always nice to read about a favorite character when he or she is just starting out in their career. In this case it is a story told during the days when Estelle Reyes was on her first days in the job of Deputy for the Posadas county police.
It foreshadows her special intuition and very sharp eyes when it comes to incongruities at the scene of the crime. Bill Gastner is as solid and unflappable as ever and he walks her through the initial points of good law enforcement.
The case is one that fits Bill to a tee, a dead man in unusual circumstances, no apparent clues, but a puzzle for which the pieces are out there and he will find them and put them together. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Flashback episode introduces Estelle Reyes to the series. Clearly a keeper as she assists Under-sheriff Bill in tracking down who shot the man in the road grader. Good characters and an interesting environment make for another pleasant read in this solid series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good, pleasant read. If you are looking for a book to pass the time, you surely could do less than this. Posadas County, NM is a rather small place with the type of crime you expect in a small county. When a county worker is killed in an odd shooting, the entire sheriff's deparment goes to work. Following them holds your interest.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Set in 1987, when Bill Gastner was still an undersheriff and Estelle Reyes a brand new rookie. A county employee is killed by one perfect shot through the windshield of the grader he was operating. But there's something very odd about the bullet.The series has been better.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One perfect shot was a good book, but had trouble to get into at first. The last few books I have read have been great so that did effect how I judged this book. It was one where I could read some and then go to something else and come back to it.Larry was shot in his grader a hard shot that instantly killed him. Bill the under sheriff is the main cop who works the case. Bill is also training a new cop Estelle Reyes, she will be their first female cop on patrol.Thier was a lot of talk about riffles,bullets that was necessary to story but I could not keep that straight in my mind.It shows how piece by piece they try to put the pieces together to figure what happen, how it happened, why someone shot Larry. It was good to see so much of that in the book.Their was a lot of facts but not much to Estelle interaction that I wanted to know more about and from her. Also wanted to know about the art she thought was stolen, maybe thats for another book.Now I know that this was book 9 in a series I would like to read the other 8 books.I was given this ebook in exchange of honest review.
