Longarm and the Hangman's Vengeance

Longarm #110

by Tabor Evans

Walking some sorry varmint up the gallows steps to the wrong end of a rope wasn't Marshal Long's ideal way to start the day. But the Great Costello wasn't just any outlaw. As a train robber he was a washout-but as an escape artist he was a whirling wonder! And sure enough, when the dust settled, Costello had escaped, leaving the hangman swinging on his own rope. Now it's up to Longarm to track the slippery son of Satan on a bloody trail that leads him over the border and up against savage Mex rebels, vicious Rurales ... and a hot-blooded assortment of wicked and willing women!

Reviews

[Steven Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the better books in this series. I like the books that are more action rather than Longarm just running around the country sleeping with a lot of women.

This one touched on the old Vaudeville acts and stage magicians. I liked the misdirection and action from the beginning, but suspected the "reporter" from the beginning as she was just too conveniently placed.

These are men's fantasy stories and Longarm got to sleep with both sisters, but not at the same. Sleeping with sisters is a common male fantasy that few get to realize.

It took me a long time to read this, so I lost the plot a few times, but I liked the tongue-in-cheek humor.
