This book is set in the Crazy Mountains of Montana and centres around a sprawling rural community. It's a story of secrets and lies and small town mysteries. Delve a little deeper and some serious crimes appear to be being committed.
'Nothing stayed hidden forever'
Everett Dawson is a stock detective brought in to investigate the local rustling problem and Lawrence Jackson runs the local Lazy Twenty Two ranch and he's the town bad boy making big accusations about murder and crime in their town. I won't spoil any of the story as it needs to be read with fresh eyes to be enjoyed.
"There ain’t no hidin’ from anythin’ up here. No runnin’ away, neither. Your life is just a series of memories passed between people, good or bad. And you live with the consequences for those memories.”
The writing in this book is exceptional. I never cease to be amazed by Tal's words even after all his previously well written and executed books. This story is a little shorter than some of his previous works but still a full length novel. It impresses me that even with less words Tal is still able to tell such an enthraling, magnificent story.
‘Bout the only thin’ that works up here is fire and guns.”
We finally got our cowboy book y'all
