The Gunfighter #11
Ralph Compton Shot to Hell
A deadly marksman is on the hunt to find his missing sister in this exhilarating new Ralph Compton Western. One terrible day, fifteen-year-old Leif Gunnarson comes home to find his family home on fire and a gruesome scene his parents are tied up, on the brink of death among the hellish flames, and his sister is nowhere to be found. His father can barely gasp a Simkins. And with that, Leif has his life’s mission—to track down Luther Simkins, notorious outlaw and gang leader, and find his sister. Along the way, Leif finds a temporary home in Wyoming Bob’s Wild West Show. He has an innate talent with firearms but needs to hone those skills until he can outshoot anyone, even Simkins. Touring the West as the star performer known as Trickshot, Leif finally gets wind of an outlaw who could lead him to his sister. It will be the most important showdown of his life—but will his sharpshooting be a match for the shocking tricks the outlaw has up his sleeve?

It was the late author Bill Crider, with his 'Outrage at Blanco' novel that made me love revenge stories so much and in away revenge stories for me will always be a tribute to him.
This was my first read from the author Jackson Lowry, although I do have several of his books, along with a few others written like this one for the estate of Ralph Compton and like his writing.
With 'Shot To Hell', you get another read, that seems like it could be a hokey one, due to the main character being called Trick Shot, part of Western Bob's Wild West Show, being billed the greatest gun shooter in the West, turns into a decent read and really the only flaw was the rushed hurried ending.

Not the best western ever read
Didn’t like this installment to the gunfighter series. Admittedly all westerns are a little contrived, but this one takes the cake. The plot was weak, the characters weaker, and the overall writing inconsistent. The “hero” was a self centered bozo who plods along ineffective and unrealistic storylines. Nothing about him was engaging, his actions and words very annoying at best, downright irritating throughout. I do not recommend this whatsoever, barely suffered through to the end. Sorry, I calls’em like I sees’em.
