Preacher’s Showdown by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I admit as I close in on reading 100 Johnstone Clan books that the stories are getting very similar. This one is treading ground done in it’s own series and others, too. Conclusions nearly identical, also.
The writing is standard Johnstone further cutting into the value. The characters, from bad guys to children, are particularly familiar. No surprises in the story and encounters are typical Johnstone. There are some really nifty turns these books could make, but it seems the publishers don’t want to mess with what sells. That’s one of the great things involving the Johnstone ghost written Flinlock stories that veers off from other Johnstone stories.
I do grade the books with the knowledge that each book is being picked up for the first time of a series.
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 6 out of 10.
If you’re reading all Johnstone books: This one can be skipped.
