Staking out a musician suspected of stealing a demo tape should be a piece of pan dulce. But his attention wanders just long enough for fiddle player Julie Kearnes to be gunned down before his eyes. He should just back away and let the cops investigate, but backing away has never been Tres's strong point. The missing demo and Julie's murder are just two of the problems besetting Miranda Daniels, a pint-sized singer with Texas-sized talent. She's the prize in a tug-of-war between two music hotshots who want to manage her career. One has a habit of making bad things happen to people he doesn't like. The other has just vanished without a trace. As Tres looks into the dirty dealings surrounding Miranda, it becomes clear he's stepped into a rattlesnakes' nest of greed, double cross, and murder—and he may be the next to be snakebit.

 Rating:  - Riordan stays on the Beat in Widower's Two StepTres Navarre has decided to remain in San Antonio and has been serving an apprenticeship. With only a few supervised hours left to work before he qualifies for his own PI license, Tres becomes obsessed with what started out as a simple case of some missing demo tapes, when a country musician is killed in front of him. Tres begins investigating, endangering his career and his own life. Once again Rick Riordan takes the reader on a spin through San Antonio, this time via Austin and the ... Read More Rating: - Great Sophmore BookThis is Rick Riordan's second book and second of the Tres Navarre series. Another thrilling tale woven by a true master. While this book is not quite as strong as his first novel it is right there with it and will be sure to trap all who read it. Be sure to read Riordan's other great works as well. This is one of America's best mystery writers of today. Rating:  - Corruption and Country MusicTexan Tai Chi master, private detective in training, English Phd holder and cat owner Tres Navarre returns in The Widower's Two-Step, following on from his introduction in the harrowing Big Red Tequila. Author Rick Riordan provides us with a tangled mystery based around the budding career of a promising country singer and the creeping corruption that lurks behind the lure of success. Tres is within 10 hours of finishing his apprenticeship before a P.I. license is his when the case he is ... Read More Rating: - Keep ReadingAlthough not nearly as good as the Last King of Texas, my first introduction to the series, The Widower's Two-Step was a good addition. I'm not usually a mystery/cop novel lover but Tres Navarre is a great character, and I've liked every book with him so far. Some other reviews said that there were too many characters to keep straight, but I don't agree at all. This is a series with reoccurring characters, and all of the non- reoccurring ones have an important role in the mystery. Another reviewer said ... Read More Rating: - Starts slow, speeds up, but can't quite equal the first bookIn this second book in Rick Riordan's Tres Navarre series, PI-in-training Tres gets off to a bad start when the person he is tailing dies before his eyes (murder? suicide?). From there, our hero finds himself pulled into the worlds of drug dealing, family politics, and -- most deadly of all -- country music. This title, like 'The Last King of Texas' (the third book in the series) starts off with a literal bang. But I found both 'Big Red Tequila' and 'Last King' easier stories to get into than ...
