I like this cleverly written half-serious and half-humorous Western novel for its beautifully sketched heroine, Honey Beaulieu, as well as its skillful presentation of a part of the old American West that has been ignored–the lowly and often dangerous roles that madames and girls of the night had to play in an untamed land.

I was captivated by the spot-on descriptions of 1800s Montana and the role switch of sharpshooting Honey, a young woman sharpshooter who would rather attempt to become a sheriff than work in her mother’s house of ill repute.

From John's list on living normal lives murder deception and love.
