Tres Navarre Best Books
Big Red Tequila
In Big Red Tequila author Rick Riordan introduces the readers to Tres Navarre, a loner who returns to his hometown to not only investigate but to also avenge a murder that is yet to be solved, despite the fact that it happened more than ten years ago. The supporting characters in Big Red Tequila are somewhat familiar; they include corrupt cops, a crooked construction company, and old adversaries who are not happy to see Tres back in town. Nonetheless, what makes Big Red Tequilla, a brilliant debut is author’s Rick Riordan voice. Big Red Tequila is a hard-boiled Tex Mex. The first person descriptions show a rather unbeatable flair for details, while the dialogue, on the other hand, is terse. More than ten years ago, Tres Navarre had left the town after the killing of his father. Now, Tres is back in town looking for answers.

As Tres continues to dig deep, while looking for answers, the fresher the old crime looks. Apart from construction site pay-offs, Tres Navarre also discovers that the killings were somehow tied to mafia connections and the local political circle as well. It is apparently clear that Tres Navarre has stirred a hornet’s nest and what follows is trouble. Tres not only gets attacked, but he is also shot at and eventually ran over by an old thunderbird. Tre’s longtime girlfriend eventually turns up missing. Eventually, Tres manages to rescue his longtime girlfriend and finds his father’s killer. With that said, Big Red Tequila is a brilliantly written narrative that is filled with believable and realistic characters.
