Dead Shot by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Usually the second book in a new Johnstone Clan series takes a step down. Not in this case. This book takes a turn from the typical Johnstone romp into a more complex story where not all goes as planned and an intriguing story unfolds.
The story starts with Jensen riding in to collect a bounty only to find the bank robbed and his bounty in the sacks. So he’s got to get it back if he wants the dough. A couple of extras get wrapped into the chase and a great plot with lots of fun is presented. I really like this approach of fun and adventure.
The writing is a bit better than other Johnstone than the many dozen of Johnstone books I’ve read, as are the characters. The settings are written in usual fashion.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 9 out of 10 points.
