“Devlin’s tales of pro wrestler-turned-PI “Hammerhead” Jed are always entertaining, fast-paced, funny reads that are packed with action and oddballs.”
— Dana Gee, Vancouver Sun (full review)

“Bronco Buster is “Hammerhead”Jed's most uproarious case yet — and given A.J. Devlin's flair for offbeat characters, hilarious dialogue and no-holds-barred action, that's saying a lot! Jed's adventures were raucous enough with the quirky world of wrestling as a backdrop. Throw in a twist-filled day at the rodeo, and you're saddling up for the wildest ride of the year!” 
— Steve Hockensmith, New York Times bestselling author of Holmes on the Range and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

"If you read only one mystery featuring a banana milkshake-guzzling pro wrestler-turned-P.I. this year, make it Bronco Buster. Nobody combines slapstick comedy and hard-boiled crime like A.J. Devlin. And if you want more—you will, after this riotous fourth entry in the hilarious “Hammerhead” Jed series—go back and read the rest. And then read this one again."
— Andrew Shaffer, New York Times bestselling author of Feel the Bern: A Bernie Sanders Mystery

“Action-packed, with all the colour and gritty din of a small-time rodeo alive on every page, a sadder, wiser but incurably romantic “Hammerhead” can’t resist the lure of a lurid death, drawing him back to his beloved detective work.  Don’t even try to resist the whirlwind ride of clues, eccentric characters, and that Devlinesque twisty ending!”
— Iona Whishaw, bestselling award-winning author of the Lane Winslow mystery series
 
“With Bronco Buster, A.J. Devlin proves he’s the undisputed champion of hilarious and heartfelt mysteries. A riotous and adrenaline-packed romp full of rodeo clowns, lumberjacks, and murderers, the fourth book in Devlin’s award-winning “Hammerhead” Jed series had me howling with laughter from the first line and crying by the last.”
— S.M. Freedman,award-nominated author of Blood Atonement (Globe and Mail's Top 100 Best Books of 2022, Crime Writers of Canada's Awards of Excellence Finalist)

“Bronco Buster is a wild, outrageous, and edgy mystery-comedy – I absolutely loved it! Jed must contend with rodeo clowns, maddened bulls, desperate hatchet throwers, a Doukhobor cult leader, and a cowgirl who lassoes like Wonder Woman. Studded with witticisms, crackling dialogue, and raucous action, this is Hammerhead’s best adventure yet. A must-read!”
— M.H. Callway, award-nominated author of Snake Oil and Other Tales

“Bronco Buster is both a mystery and an adventure, with all the humour and action you could ask for, and a hero with heart ... [it's] a fast-paced thrill ride that doesn’t give you a chance to catch your breath, let alone put it down.”
— Jeff Dupuis, The Miramichi Reader (full review)

“Throughout the series, Devlin’s background as a script writer is evident ... [t]he humour is fast-paced and witty, and it acts as a great counterbalance to the underlying murder investigation.”
— Caileigh Broatch, The British Columbia Review (full review)

“Bronco Buster has it all. Devlin delivers with this entertaining series that he likes to describe as a mix of mystery, action, adventure and comedy. If you feel that you need an escape from everyday life, this novel is a very enjoyable distraction.”
— Sharon Richardson, Crime Fiction Lover (full review)

“Bronco Buster is a fast paced mystery with a myriad of moving parts. Never one to shy away from unique characters and situations we soon discover many characters with things to hide ... A.J. Devlin has the unique ability to blend laugh out loud comedy with heartfelt pathos. More than a mystery Bronco Buster is a meaningful work about life, love, and banana milkshakes.” 
— Cozy Up With Kathy (full review)

“Simply outstanding ... Bronco Buster is a fun read from mystery lovers who like humor mixed with their mayhem. An original ‘whodunnit’ special.”
