GOOD BOOK - GOOD AUTHOR
I can't believe how slow the US postal system is. It took over 2 weeks for m a pocket book to arrive in the mail. I could have driven from home to the store in 4 hours. I ordered a camera from out East, on the same day, and it only took 10 days. Anyway about the book. Don't know why it isn't in our local library. Our local library seems to prefer female authors to male authors but they haven't included Mz Martin in their collection and she is one of the few female authors who are worth reading. Unlike most female authors she doesn't spend five pages telling about the colour of the wallpaper. She gets to the nitty gritty and tells the story. and they are good stories. They are not Westerns but if you like Westerns you will like these stories as they set in ranch country. And if you like a good detective story, well they are that too.
Death Of The River Master
Great book! Sorry not to have her again. Have read all in this series and plot believable and held my interest. I gave to a friend and she also enjoyed. Deserves the five stars
Borderlands, the Good and the Bad
Intelligent story of Texana, who runs a trading post on the Texas-Mexico border, and her husband Clay, the veterinarian. There's water rights, local color, the usual coss-border activities, until Clay is arrested in Mexico for murder. Mexico too frequently administers "justice" on the deep-pockets policy: the larger the bribe the better the chance for winning judgment. Like the entire series engrosing, with a continuing cast of friends, Texana's love of the land.
And blessedly she doesn't refer to previous cases either for continuity, or to ruin the mystery if read out of context.
Those reading Tony Hillerman and James Doss will be intrigued.
For your permanent library.
Another good Allana Martin book
Another good Allana Martin book. The only critique I have is that there are SO MANY CHARACTERS that I resorted to making a list so I could keep track! The Tex-Mex setting and lore are interesting.
Where was the American Embassy?
While this was an entertaining listen, my credulity was strained to breaking throughout the whole CD (I listen rather than read). Even given the corruption of the Mexican legal system and the strength of the drug cartels, if there was such a ground swell of popular support for Clay's cause among the populace of the town where he was being held, I have a hard time believing the American government wouldn't have gotten involved in the case of a clearly innocent man.
For that matter, why wasn't Texana's first move to contact the Embassy? That is what we are all told to do. Even if they were portrayed as being unable/unwilling to help or caught up in the same corruption as the Mexican authorities, it would have made things feel more realistic to me. Usually I am willing to let authors tell their own story, but this was really a disturbing note.
