Big Red Tequila
Big Red Tequila | Rick Riordan
4 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series Everything in Texas is bigger...even murder. Meet Tres Navarre...tequila drinker, Tai Chi master, unlicensed P.I., with a penchant for Texas-size trouble. Jackson "Tres" Navarre and his enchilada-eating cat, Robert Johnson, pull into San Antonio and find nothing waiting but trouble. Ten years ago Navarre left town and the memory of his father's murder behind him. Now he's back, looking for answers. Yet the more Tres digs, trying to put his suspicions to rest, the fresher the decade-old crime looks: Mafia connections, construction site payoffs, and slick politicians' games all conspire to ruin his homecoming. It's obvious Tres has stirred up a hornet's nest of trouble. He gets attacked, shot at, run over by a big blue Thunderbirdand his old girlfriend, the one he wants back, turns up missing. Tres has to rescue the woman, nail his father's murderer, and get the hell out of Dodge before mob-style Texas justice catches up to him. The chances of staying alive looked better for the defenders of the Alamo....

This was the first book published by Rick Riordan, and is the first book in the Tres Navarre series. Tres is a #Tequila drinker and has an enchilada-eating cat.

Has anyone read it?

squirrelbrain I agree @jenniferw88 - love the sound of the cat! @Cathythoughts - I knew this would be one of the trickier ones - sorry! 5y
Andrew65 @squirrelbrain No need to apologise. They test the old grey cells. 😂 5y
Bookzombie I have read this one and the next two in the series. I enjoyed them. I started book 4 and set it aside. I will probably get back to it sometime. 5y

Not an obvious choice for #junemostanticipated, but I have been looking forward to checking out the first in this mystery series set in my hometown of San Antonio. The author is THAT Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson kids' series. I'm hoping I like this main character a heck of a lot more than I like Percy, who grates on my nerves. #junebookbugs

#setinyourcity I love Riordan's Percy Jackson series and wasn't aware that he had written this series until a couple of years ago. In the first book, Tres Navarre, unlicensed PI, has returned to his home town to solve his father's murder. Tres' hometown is San Antonio and you get a pretty decent tour of the city in the first book. I have only read the first two books but I really enjoyed them. #setinyrcity #readjanuary

Half of me was pissed off because I cared at all. The other half of me was pissed off because I didn‘t care enough to do anything about it. All of me agreed it was time to get out of the house.
