"...the waitress known as Ruby...",
By
This review is from: Longarm and the Horses of a Different Color (Longarm, No. 325) (Paperback)
This is one of the most recent Longarm novels,published in December 2005.It is getting so one no longer knows what to expect from this long running series of 26 years.In the early days,there was a consistancy in the type and character of the novels;and that was what I enjoyed.They were real westerns taking place after the Civil War and the end of the century.The stories were straight forward,with maybe a bit of doubt about the outcome,but one usually had a pretty good idea of who the bad guys were and it was the escapades and journey our hero Longarm travelled that made them fun to read.I can't say that about this novel.It is simply a mystery novel riding on the popularity that has been generated in the past with this series.Almost the whole novel is occupied with finding out who the bad guy is.That's a Mystery novel,not a Western. The writing does not have the zeal of the past and quite frankly,I found the writing very labored. It was at its worse ,starting on page 38 where a waitress was described as "the waitress known as Ruby".That wasn't bad in itself but the author restated it another 10 times,to the point of being silly. Come on,Jove ,give us westerns not mysteries;if not, we'll move on.
