Winter Range by Alan LeMay
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
LeMay’s writing within this modern day (written in ’30s) western story is far above what most all accomplish. The trouble is LeMay writes like a current contemporary novelist with 3/4 of the book easy to excise. Was LeMay’s work kept away from editors?
It’s established early on that this is part of a series. There are parts where I wished I’d read the earlier books. However, maybe the series should be called “A – Detective – Kentucky Jones Western”. Through the book, Jones is investigating bad guy stuff, despite his claiming over and over he brokers cows. Why didn’t LeMay just make Jones a detective? Not doing that, makes the character uneven and the story hard to place in reality.
The characters are good and also over written. Settings are the same.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend the book. 4 out of 10 points.
