When I Die

The Legend of Joe Mundy #2

by Monty McCord

After surviving a shooting in Taylorsville, and the 1876 influenza outbreak, Marshal Joe Mundy is enjoying the summer courting Sarah, the abandoned wife of the town's first marshal, George Welby. Until the killings begin. The cattlemen's association has threatened to campaign against Sheriff Canfield in the upcoming election unless he curtails the area's rustling problem. Bitter and unforgiving, Canfield's secret solution is a hired assassin, a convenient way to eliminate those in his way, along with the rustlers. The plan goes awry when a young, local cowhand is killed and Mundy is expected to stop the killer. In this second installment of the Joe Mundy series, his life is further complicated when after a long absence, George Welby returns to his wife, Sarah, and runs for sheriff.

[Regina · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the first book but was disappointed with the second. The book had no real ending. Very disappointed.

- Another excellent story (but 9yrs after the last story?)

[Thomas Clagett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another terrific read from author Monty McCord! The action and suspense come in equal parts combined with intriguing character development and unexpected twists. Wish I could say more, but the revelations would be akin to spoilers! Looking forward to Book Three in this series.
