“Richard Bennett is a master story teller. Crooked River, is a page-turner that weaves together elements and sub-elements, plots that twist and turn like his title, telling a tale of intrigue, ambition, subterfuge and ultimately murder. His characters come alive amid the stark and unforgiving backdrop of the Idaho sagebrush land around Boise, Idaho in the early 1900s where hard work is rewarded and honesty and integrity are still the bylaws of the changing landscape.
