This is a cowboy
story or Western. I don't normally read
Westerns. I was a bit surprised that I
liked it. Angus Esparazza is the main character
and a big chunk of the book is the exploration of his character. An occasional lawman, Angus intervenes in a
situation where a woman is being
abused. His intervention earns him the
ire or a sociopathic rancher obsessed with Machismo.
Stuart does a nice
job in setting the scene. You can almost
get pricked by a cactus or dowsed with river water due to the detailed nature
of his prose. He crafts a character who
feels best when riding a river and talking to his horse.
The story is one of
honor and revenge.
I enjoyed it and
recommend it.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
