Rating:  Summary: Good Clean Western Review: I have to say this book is good because it is a good clean read which is truly an accomplishment for a western story-line. However, I do not recommend it if you are looking for a fast moving cliffhanger. It reminds me a little of the ole-style country/western songs...it has a tendency to drag on. Sorry Mr. Brouwer, the first book in this series, 'Evening Star' drew me in but this one fizzled out. Do not give up on S. Bouwer though - he is a great writer...maybe just not westerns?
Rating:  Summary: Good Clean Western Review: Samuel Keaton has returned to Laramie, this time as the Sheriff. But things aren't as simple as arresting the occasional drunk. There's the traveling revivalist in the cell arrested for attempted murder who taunts Samuel whenever he's in the office. Then there's the double murder in the bank vault set up to look like a robbery gone wrong. And, to make matters worse, a gang of confederates has wandered into town. While they aren't causing any trouble, the townsfolk blame them for everything bad happening in town and are mad at Samuel because he's not taking any action. His hands are tied, however, because of lack of evidence.Sigmund Brouwer has written another great book. Samuel Keaton's world is enhanced by the introduction of Doc and Jake. The mystery is very engaging and the writing style is relaxed, inviting the reader to sit back and enjoy. I highly recommend this entertaining mystery, originally released as "Moon Basket."
