Ride the Dark Trail is a galloping good time. You've got Em Talon, a fiery old woman holding off a host of greedy landgrabbers. You've got Logan Sackett, a somewhat shiftless gunfighter discovering he's related to the old woman and coming to her aid. You've got the Sackett version of the Bat Signal going up, and the Sackett version of "Avengers, Assemble!" happening, which is never anything less than delightful. Smart and savvy folks on both sides, pert young woman to keep everyone on their toes, and a batch of rousing fights and brawls -- good stuff, friends.
Particularly Good Bits:
Now we Clinch Mountain Sacketts ain't noted for gentle ways. The way I figure it is if a man is big enough to open his mouth he's big enough to take the consequences, and I was getting tired of talk (p. 11).
If This Was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG for mild cussing, lots of violence with guns and fists, and very mild innuendo about a young woman leaving an employer because he made improper advances.
This is my 24th book read from my TBR shelves for the 2024 Mount TBR Challenge.
