Reviews

[Benjamin Chandler · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tom Logan is framed for murdering two Yaqui soldiers and stealing $10,000 worth of Mexican gold. He has some suspicions about who the real culprits are and has two weeks to find out if he's right and give the Indians back their gold or he loses his life.

The plot was pretty good and intricate enough. The villains were conniving and Logan was a decent hero. He's a bit of a hothead (as Western heroes usually are) but he's not racist and genuinely wants to make his little corner of the world a better place. Sadly, the novel's prose was so workaday that it almost drained the story of its thrills.

Frank Bonham was one of the many juvenile authors I read as a child, and one that I still enjoy re-reading today. This adult western was very enjoyable! Recommended to those who enjoy a good ol' western.

I didn't like this book.

Midnight, a restaurant manager died in the bathroom. His wife found it. She cried.
Logan is a inspector of Edinbara. He solve this murder.

This story was boring for me. There were only little change in this story.
So I quit reading this book.
