A Dangerous Man: A Novel of William “Wild Bill” Longley by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, i believe i have come across the best written of any – ANY – Johnstone Clan book I’ve read – around 70.
This is so good that this must be a new writer in the Johnstone stable. Certainly the most competent. Great plotting, terrific settings, excellent writing, wonderful characters. Unfortunately, due to it being part of the Johnstone Clan, it’s unlikely to be known any more than it is.
The best part of the writing of this book had so many hints of Steinbeck of the setting descriptions. Often i could feel the cold that whipped around. The creaking structure as a character walked. A lone dog trotting along a wagon in the slushy snow. Just wonderful additions, usually not found in a Johnstone book, that illuminate the entirety.
The story is also more complex with a lot to sink into. The bounty hunter, the killer, the store owner, the new Sheriff, the mysterious woman, a large dog and more mystery is combined and well written enough to draw a reader in. Seems the one before this one is just as good. i look forward to it.
Here’s a time i wish i knew who the actual author is. Likely will leave the Clan at some point and have to figure out if i can find the author again.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 10 out of ten points.
