(Needs Image) Quickshots: Cimarron #19- On a Texas Manhunt

 

I read this one on a camping trip to West Texas, and read it mostly in the afternoons after a long day of hiking the Guadalupe mountains, pounding down Powerade as I sat in the rare shade of my campsite in the flats hoping the temperature would drop below 100 soon. 

Does that explain why I don’t remember much of the plot?  Rapine, kidnapping, revenge, ego, chase, gunfights, fatherly advice, sudden death, and maybe some fucking with a smidge of “the wilderness is the best” thrown in. This is the kind of book that fits great for me out in the woods.  I don’t need lofty literature, I just need to roam and ramble and let me mind do the same.  On a Texas Manhunt was an ideal campfire book.

The fact that I finished it, but have never been able to finish a Longarm book, should speak volumes.
