Awesome story as always...
I can't say that I disliked any part of the book. I don't think this book showed Mr. Prices best work. I can't put a finger on what was off with the book, but just don't feel he did his best. If course, I always look forward to his Jess Williams books and will be anxiously waiting for #113. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good western!

Ok read
Jess is after another evil murderer, when he receives a telegram from Martha. The marshal in her town has been murdered, and she wants Jess to solve the crime. As always, Jess succeeds and their relationship progresses.
The usual complaints for me are the use of Gandhi s being called pistols and mixing pronouns. The killings are also very graphic and most women of tbd time do not cuss. Love The horses and Melvin. Miss Shadow.

Another great Jess Williams adventure
I started with number One and have no regrets as I just finished book number one hundred and twelve. As a former law enforcement officer I understand why Jess works like he does. I also like the way he is generous to people in need that he meets.

Jess and Martha
I love the Jess Williams. The problem is the author doesn't write fast enough. I fear that Jess will retire some day soon and leave me in a quandary as to the next great author. So, Mr. Thomas get behind that keyboard and get to writing.

Martha
Another great book. It shows both sides of a complicated soul Jess Williams lives. Maybe someday he will find peace and settle down in his house on the lake and fish.

Good read
I am glad you showed the softer side of Jess Williams. I hope one day he could marry Martha Heller. I think they would make a good couple.

Jess and Martha the naggy whiner. Add me to the not fan of Martha club. Hard to believe he eventually marries this drip.
