Uniquely Set…
Humorous, uniquely set and often mad cap tale with a plethora of eccentric characters and situations laced with satire. From heart transplants to reality television to murder. A cleverly crafted narrative keeps the tale fresh and mainly funny.

Duck Duck Gator is what you get when you combine Duck Dynasty and a murder mystery. Yes, you read that correctly. The Gator Guys and The Mallard Men are two reality tv families from Louisiana who become involved in a murder investigation after one of the families suffers an unimaginable loss. I am not going to lie, the premise drew me in. However, I did not have a great reading experience. Wheaton, the author, had a lot he wanted to put into this book and it shows. There are too many storylines happening in this novel which made it confusing at times. In addition to this, there were also too many characters to go along with these storylines. With some major editing and a more clear focus on the investigation, I think this book would have been a lot better.

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was a great light read. A comedy and mystery all rolled in one. I did find a few parts a tad predictable but it had me laughing throughout. I’d recommend.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
Some good writing yet it was quite dull and nonsensical at times.
An OK read.

The reality show aspect for me hook like and sinker. I loved the ode to the crazy gator hunting and just southern reality tv in general. The mystery was good but I had it figured out pretty early on. Had the ending taken me more by surprise it would’ve been a 4 or 5 star for sure. Will read more from this author in the future.

Having read this book one rather got the feeling that the whole of the population of Louisiana is involved in one or other reality TV show. Maybe it is? For quite a lot of the book, the reader alone knows of the murder that has been committed. Personally I was rather surprised that no one had investigated sufficiently to have discovered it earlier. Having waited a long time to have the characters become aware of the murder, the reader is informed relatively early of the identity of the perpetrator. I'm not sure that the perpetrator's motive is every fully explained. Overall I did enjoy it and read it through to the end, but I did find it a bit slow at times.

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I found this book to be more of a comedic thriller than anything else, but that being said, I loved it. The characters were well developed and were full of great one-liners, and helped moved the story along in a tremendous way. The plot was engaging and full of mystery, which helped me read through this in about a weekend. It was a great change from the heavy psychological thrillers that are so popular right now. The humor was well placed and not at all forced, which made this even more readable. I would 100% watch a movie remake of this book as long as it was held exactly as the book is written. I felt myself disliking and loving the right characters, and every sentence felt like it had a purpose and fulfilled it well. I would recommend this book to lovers of mystery and thrillers who want to stay true to the genre but also take a break from the same five tropes and heavy writing. I will be purchasing a physical copy for my personal library soon.

It made me laugh and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Quirky and likable characters, a lot of humor and a good mystery.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Duck Duck Gator was a decent book to read during the craziness that was the 2020 election this week. While it seemed very predictable, I laughed a lot and enjoyed the honest characters featured throughout the story.

A little slow and maybe a slog for those who do not watch or have never watched reality tv. Kudos for an original plot and characters. For me the Louisiana folks were a bit over the top. Think this would have worked better if some more of the story was fleshed out but overall a fun read.

The book included a preview of another novel featuring Fudgeround and Tony so I will likely read that.

3.5 stars, solid Coronavirus distraction read.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book It was a fun and light hearted read that will pass away a,few hours

Join a delightful murder-mystery set in the backdrop of several reality tv shows. "Reality" is of course a big stretch, so it was delightful meeting a full cast of flawed human beings. With the story told from different perspectives and short chapters, you will want to keep on reading and finished the book quite quickly.
Reminiscent of Carl Hiaasen's work, you get to really delve into the different sides of the people. The on-camera, the off etc. Would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun quick and a little gory read set in Louisiana. I hope one day when the world opens back up, I get to see the area myself and indulge in loads of fried food.

An fun tongue in the creek book. The characters are interesting and the story line is intriguing. If you are looking for a sit down relaxing read, this is the book.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
