Buchanan Gets Mad by Jonas Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Here’s my favorite western novel, so far. This bumps a number of Johnstone Clan books. This story is not a simple gallop through the west. There are many levels explored and much you think will happen, doesn’t.
The book starts off as many a western does. As the story develops the standard direction take complicated trails that get more and more complicated. A the story goes along the reader will only get less sure how the book ends page by page.
The characters are excellent. The depiction of Buchanan torn between options is not how the average Western hero contemplates. The terror of a woman cornered is written in a way hard not to make a reader tremble.
The setting is probably the least well handled, though the reader will always know where they are.
I see the popularity of the Buchanan character and will seek out more of these! i have no idea where, when or how I got the one in my library. Hopefully I will find more.
Bottom line: I recommend this book! 10 out of 10 points.
