A Widowmaker Jones Western #5
I don’t usually come into a series on book five and did not see in the book description that this was not a standalone story but part of a series. That said, I had no trouble following the story. I am curious about what Newt did in the previous books and when he met Mr. Smith but otherwise was fully invested in the story and how it would turn out.
What I liked:
* Newt: survivor, pugilist in the past, has his own set of ethics, good friend, generous, cares for the weak, does what is required, a survivor, scarred, steady, an interesting man
* Mr. Smith: Mohave Indian, travels with Newt, has seen the world, educated, wears a suit, tattooed, wise, older, multilingual, quiet, believes in clan and family
* Zuri: young, daughter of shepherd killed early in the book, survives the wilderness and evil men and bitter cold, goes on a quest at the end of the book, curious about how her life will unfold
* Rufus: Happy Jack’s rescue dog, old, has cataracts, might be deaf, really wondered if he made it through the winter
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* That I was invested in the characters and hoped the ones I cared about would make it to the end alive
* That the bad guys were exposed and that most were handily dealt with
* Thinking about good vs evil and the shades of gray in between – men are men and not always easy to classify as one or the other
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about how difficult life must have been in the time period of this story and how much effort must have been needed to survive
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Pinnacle for the ARC – This is my honest review.
