[Jim · Rating 2 out of 5]

A who-done-it western with some shootouts & the usual stuff. The romances were tacky, but bearable. Unfortunately, the break wasn't particularly believable. If you can roll with that, it works pretty well, though. Fairly well drawn characters with no trouble keeping them straight. The narration was good except for the voice of Crow which was almost unintelligible sometimes. All in all, not bad. I won't be in a rush to read another.

I enjoyed this western mystery. Jefferson King is a ranger and is asked for by his brother, who is a Sheriff, for help. Only the Sheriff was dead by the time King got into town. King finds out five men were in a conspiracy to kill his brother and he goes out to prove it. However it seems another party is involved in the killing, King just knows he has to watch his back.

Recommended, a solid read that had enough mystery going on to keep me interested. The action was well done too.
