The Great Train Massacre by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A good tale from the Johnstone Clan. Territory covered before, but this may be the best that has covered it. The story is riddled with complications for all, except for the inevitable. The predictability of the Johnstone books is wearing on me was I close in on 100 read. The earliest Smoke books were very unpredictable and anyone could die in those. This book stays in the safe territory of all of it’s characters.
The characters in this volume do not stand out as much as others in the various series. The settings are very good at first and simplify as the book continues. This book is one that particularly felt as if it were created with a template.
Bottom line: I recommend the book. 5 out of 10 points.
