One to Read When You Need a Good Western Mystery

I will admit that I was drawn to the book because of the location. I will also admit that I began and set it aside twice before I actually became engaged in the story. The beginning was so much a parody of Montana law enforcement that I had a difficult time swallowing the descriptions, dialogue, etc. Not to mention that it is set in a fictitious setting which was somewhat unbelievable. However, once I was introduced to the main character and his partner who take over the case, I was hooked. Not because the story was so difficult to anticipate but because the personalities and conversation between the two was to amusing to stop reading. If you have run out of anything that appeals in your book stacks, this might be one that will keep you reading, if, like Robinson Crusoe, you can get past the boring beginning.

3.5 stars, edit/proof reading issue

3.5 stars, edit/proof reading issues. Interesting story with a lead character with slightly different methods of being a "hero" in the justice system.

âItâs a lousy system, racked with corruption on both sides of the border,â Draper said.

"Aye, that it is, but itâs still the best country around.â

"Canât argue that,â Draper agreed.

I may re-read this story and look forward to other works by this author.

Fun story

This was an interesting story that kept my interest from start to finish. It is set in Montana, near where I grew up so that spiked my interest.

Dead and Deader

It's easy in today's society to become weary of evil prevailing

because the mechanisms of justice are lubricated with money and adjudicated through and "undue" process. "Big Sky Dead" with Charlie Draper is a refreshing "don't get out of jail free card" being distributed by a cross between Client Eastwood' s "Dirty Harry" and Charles Bronson's, "The Mechanic." Quick action, ruthless but justified dismissals, hairpin twist, and unexpected ending. Ignore the spelling errors and appreciate the story line! Draper is Dexter gone vacationing.

Needs some serious editing

This has potential to be a good read but needs serious editing. I wonder why so few readers mentioned that. Maybe I'm just picky but words are missing or duplicated in sentences making for difficult reading at times. It seems that the bad grammar gets worse the further on I get in the book which definitely interrupts the flow. That being said I'm just over halfway through. I hope the author gets a good editor so that his full potential as a writer can be realized.
