Webb's Posse

by Ralph Cotton

When the Peltry Gang swoops into Rileyville, the attack is sudden and merciless. Before the townsfolk know what hit them, one of their own lies dead on the dirt street, Deputy Abner Webb is caught with his pants down, and just for good measure, the desperadoes shoot the sheriff and leave him for dead as they head out.

Webb knows he must capture the outlaws for what they’ve done, but that won’t be easy for the inexperienced lawman. Yet with the help of a shady horse trader and an ornery schoolmaster, Webb just might bring the gunslingers in on their feet—or slungover their saddles.

[Laurie D'ghent · Rating 3 out of 5]

I picked this book up at my library's semi-annual used book sale because my dad is such a fan of western novels. It was reasonably good, and free from sex scenes. However, there was some moderate swearing and some graphic violence. All in all, not terrible, but not fantastic, either. I would be willing to read other westerns after this.

Average western with posse chasing down gang of outlaws. Full of cliches, but some of the action is good. Recommended only for fans of westerns!
