THE LAWMAN Review
It's no secret to most of us that James Reasoner is a fine writer, especially when he's penning traditional Westerns. THE LAWMAN will only add to his already sterling reputation. Based on the life of Deputy United States Marshal Bill Tilghman, this is an action-packed novel, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages until the last word is read. I neglected finishing the rest of my next short story once I started to read THE LAWMAN. Didn't get to bed on time, either, and I really can't afford to miss much sleep. That's how engrossing this book is. THE LAWMAN is another star in the firmament of James Reasoner's work. Get yourself a copy. I highly and enthusiastically recommend THE LAWMAN.

I especially love that the stories of these historic persons are getting their stories told for they are so richly deserved. Doris
ReplyDeleteI've read a lot of James Reasoner books and those under the name of Lyle Brandt as well.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite authors. Looking forward to reading both. I really like the covers too!
I've already read The Lawman... great book. Looking forward to the rest. My contribution to the series is done, and in the capable hands of Livia and friends for editing.

I've never had the pleasure of reading a James Reasoner book, but they look very exciting. Great covers, too.
