I really like this charater, Hugh Davoren, that McMahon has developed. This book is number two for the character. It is a good solid mystery.

Good but not as good as what I'm used to from McMahon. Dead Silver just never developed the speed and was predictable for those who read anything. You could guess the bad guys were and you never doubted yourself.
After I read Lone Creek, I tried several other Nneil McMahon books. This was a good, fun read as well. I read it in a day.
Nice change from San Francisco doc to Montana ranch hand. Prefer these his previous books.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were rich and I enjoyed the modern day western setting.

I really like reading Neil McMahon. A good, solid mystery with interesting characters.
This is the second book featuring these characters. McMahon is a writer I greatly enjoy as are his characters. This was a very good read.
