Thought I’d reblog this post from my blogging friend Jacqui Murray as I’ve heard from time to time: “they don’t write Westerns anymore.”
If you like thrillers but can’t quite get behind the world-ending apocalyptic plot points–would like something more down-to-earth–you may like westerns. I do and thankfully, Netgalley is happy to feed my addiction with free books. Here are some of the last ones I read:
- Death Rattle— the birth of a Texas Ranger in a time when these lawmen were every criminal’s nightmare
- Captive Justice— a Western boy survives growing up and learns to be a good adult
- Gunpowder Express — an infamous but broke gunslinger agrees to take on a hopeless job that will probably get him killed
- Defenders of the Texas Frontier— watch the birth of the West and the Texas Rangers through the eyes on one who was there
- Shot to Hell–a shootist with the unlikely name of Perley Gates must for the second time save a town that’s being run by gunslingers
- Cottonmouth

A very interesting selection. No doubt there is much history in the profiles. 💕☕️

Thanks for sharing this. I started with murder-mysteries and ended up with Westerns. So there is some similarity between these two genres.
