Order of Ben Rehder Books

Ben Rehder crafts comic crime fiction and mystery novels with a focus on his beloved Blanco County Mysteries series, which centers around character John Marlin. Though the dream of writing had been with him since his youth, Rehder initially pursued a career in advertising. When that path left him feeling unfulfilled, he decided to pursue his long-held ambition of becoming a novelist. His genre choice was inspired by reading Carl Hiaasen's work, leading him to embrace comic crime fiction—a decision he's never regretted.

Rehder made his publishing debut in 2002 with Buck Fever, a novel that earned him an Edgar Award nomination for Best First Novel. This American author has continued building his reputation in the mystery and crime fiction world through his ongoing series and standalone works.
