A Frontier Christmas by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another in the Johnstone Clan of Christmas books weaving various characters from other books into a Yuletide theme. This one is a bit more involved having to do with a plaque that sets in.
The writing is a step down from typical Johnstone Clan novels. A plot with so many angles could’ve used one of the better ghost writers to handle the book. Something about the whole book, with all of it’s bad guys and threatening disease, lacked what should have been a significant amount of intrigue and drama.
There is clear effort to nail the characters and dialogue. That seems particularly true of the Duff MacCallister character, who’s series had started earlier in the year this book came out. This book almost seems an advertisement of the series.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 5 out of 5 points.
