The sixteenth book in the tremendously popular “ United States Marshal” series has arrived. This is the Western series that drives readers to keep reading—because Marshal Timber is always one shot away from being killed. “Left To Die” will prove to be an exciting ride—are you ready to face those who break the law with Marshal Timber?
While trying to outrun a raging thunderstorm, U.S Marshal Jake Timber, retired, seeks refuge in the town of Bridal Veil. Almost immediately upon his arrival, the first of a series of seemingly unrelated murders occurs. Although retired as a marshal, Timber has an appointment as a special agent, given to him by the territorial governor. Timber offers to help local law enforcement investigate the murders, but the use of his services is soundly rejected. Smelling a rat, he begins to poke around on his own. Soon he discovers that he will need all the wisdom and experience he has accumulated from years as a lawman, just to survive!
Timber gets shot again and also gets another knife wound. I guess he has more than nine lives. Blood all over in this one. I hate knives. We got a “Jack the Ripper” here. There is a good story in every book but not all stories continue from the previous book. Sometimes and all is not resolved. It’s like the author gets another good idea and he wanders off in the next book.
There are always those who put their own desires above everyone else. This story of a town and its greedy men can give heed to what is going on today with those and their agenda.
I don’t have any strong complaints, but this was sorta “meh.” More of a detective story than the other Jake Timber books. Sorry was a little so-so too.
