The Sheriff's Surrender is a western about an old mining town whose sheriff is killed and replaced by one of the ranchers. A serial killer continues to strike and the women decide to learn to shoot from Gert, an expert shooter and form a Ladies’ Shooting Club which helps out the sheriff. I enjoyed this book even though it seemed far-fetched. It was an entertaining read with a bit of romance and Christianity tossed in.
I liked the subplot of how the women became closer and helped each other as they got to know one another better through the shooting club. It has a good theme--that friends are good to have and we should get to know all kinds of people.

Karen and Gerard, thanks for featuring my book. This was a fascinating time period to write about. Your readers will find a puzzle inside the book that they can solve to enter a contest from Summerside Press for more books. Blessings,

I haven't heard of this book, but it sounds like an interesting one. I don't normally like books written in other periods, but I've learned that sometimes they still appeal to me so I don't judge them by their... uh... timetable! LOL...
ReplyDeleteI mostly like murder mysteries, but I also like thrillers and science fiction. I'm not really into traditional "chick lit," but I like most of the ones written by black authors if they're substantial.
Right now I'm reading mostly non-fiction (8 steps to a pain-free back) and I just finished the memoir Silent Tears.
