Why read it?

1 author picked The Trail West as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This guy writes great Westerns and detective novels, this book being an excellent place to begin. I’ve followed his works online and remain impressed with the characters he creates and the detail plus development of his works. But mostly, I can lose myself in his stories, grab a buzz of ‘feel-good,’ and forget about the outside world for a while.

From John's list on fiction for curious minds.
