~ Martin Hollingshead (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Author Martin Hollingshead’s unique voice provides Palo Verde: The Wanted Poster with a fascinating narrative. While the perpetrators of the crimes are immediately apparent, revealing their motivation is similar to peeling the layers of an onion. Each new revelation provides an intriguing look into the black heart of a killer and his boss, even as their ineptitude makes for startling humor. Marshal Pappy is amazingly adept at avoiding bullets and pursuit. Indeed, his marvelous character will have readers eager for other books in this early 1900 series. Hollingshead’s attention to detail, including the use of new scientific methods to convict criminals, is absolutely fascinating. With this skillful author’s pen, the Old West comes to life with the voice and background to make it vividly real. Cindy Penn, Senior Editor, WordWeaving

5.0 out of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed reading this intertaining horse opera., April 3, 2004

By	Walker Jackson (Florida) - See all my reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this intertaining horse opera. Molly's style is so unique and her story line is intriguing. You keep wondering what will happen next. And her characters are so believable. It's a folksy romp in the old west.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet slice of the Old West life, May 10, 2006

By	Shawn Cormier "author of Nomadin" (East Brookfield, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed being transported back to the past in this Old West tale. Miss Hollingshead rendered a convincing setting, solid characters and authentic dialogue that drew me in to her story. Even though the outcome of the story was somewhat foretold, the journey there was enjoyable. For those who want to feel what it was like to live in the West in 1905, this is as close as you can get without buliding a time machine to get there yourself.

Criminal fiction enthusiasts dream tale of the "Old West" life-style with a twist!

The robust characters Hollingshead has created are "real" and easy to connect with. The dialogue is fast-paced and interesting, and the plot will have the reader turning the pages as fast as humanly possible!
