Longarm and the Horsewomen of the Apocalypse

Longarm #394

by Tabor Evans

Longarm faces four femme fatales…Down West Texas way, a girl gang of gorgeous grim reapers has been leaving a bloody trail of bullet-riddled corpses. They call themselves the Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse, and they like to let men whimper a while before they blast them to kingdom come. The Santa Clara town council would like nothing better than to string up the quartet of killers, but someone has to bring them in first.   That someone would be Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long.   But these bodacious banshees have plans for the lawman—and they don’t include going quietly. Stripped of his defenses, Longarm figures if four wild women are going to try to take him out, he’d rather go with a bang…

Reviews

[Chad McCauley · Rating 2 out of 5]

Again, not my genre but reading about two dozen of these as a promise to someone.

The plot is interesting, but could be reduced to a short story. I’ve noticed this series has a trend of 187 pages, with about a dozen pages alone devoted to Longarm’s sexual exploits. Also, there seems to be repetitive themes in the series such as Longarm’s borrowed horses meeting their demise.

If this story is how all the Longarm stories are then sign me up. It’s like a Western James Bond.

Four beautiful young women walk into a bar . . .. The author is not telling a "bar" joke but is about to immerse you into the violent and sexual world of Marshall Custis Long aka Longarm [of the law]. Action, murder, mayhem, and hot, wild west sex. Longarm is a like a hybrid of Matt Dillon, James Bond, and Sir Dennis Nayland Smith. In this book, #394, Longarm is assigned to investigate reports of a gang of four voluptuous young women who are terrorizing the Arizona territory. Are they bent on avenging some horrible wrong or just sex-crazed lunatics. Longarm must deal with Apache ambushes, a devious cattle baron and other obstacles before he solves this case, and solve he does. For men or women.
