This review is from: The Trailsman #300: Backwoods Bloodbath (Paperback)

Skye Fargo is heading to Illinois, hired to stop the Sangamon River Monster. For years, entire families have been slaughtered without mercy, and none who have pursued the depraved killer have ever been heard from again. But it isn't long before the Trailsman begins to get suspicious as to the motives behind this hunt...

Jon Sharpe comes up with yet another excellent entry in this series. As you read the book the questions begin to come, just who is the man who hired Fargo? Who is trailing them and why? Who is the Sangamon River Monster? Is there another motive for hiring the Trailsman?

The action - of more than one kind - is plentiful as Skye becomes tangled in a web of deceit and lies, all combined with Jon Sharpe's cliff-hanger chapter endings, making for a gripping and fast moving book.

And there's the inclusion of a very well known character, which is something that rarely happens in Trailsman books: having a real life person in the story.

Book number 300. Shame it isn't a giant sized book as number 100 and 200 were, but this story is more than good enough to mark another anniversary in this long running series. Roll on the next 100!

Highly recommended.
