Heartwood

Rating:
Summary: Another beautifully written novel by JLB.
Review: The second Billy Bob Holland story is a wonderful read. This is a series to look forward to.

It is a complex plot, fully resolved containing the atmospheric writing that JLB does as well as any writer. You are transported to Deaf Smith and are made to feel a part of the area.

It is peopled with flawed characters, both good and bad. No one is perfect, and you are certain you've known or observed most of them. The players are a rogue's gallery, many of whom are lovable...some forgivable, others unrepentant and unsympathetic. A few have redeeming characteristics beneath a questionable exterior. It's a remarkable cast.

It is always a treat to read JLB. He never fails to entertain and brings great emotion to his words. It's quite delightful that he is giving readers two series to savor. Don't miss "Heartwood."
