Well, having read this I can't say I was surprised to note that the author also has a few westerns to his name. The undertones of High Noon were obvious here. But that didn't put me off as I rather enjoy that whole 'moral hero standing up to the mob' kind of plot.
I really did like this. I think I like Spenser more, but Jesse is close behind him and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Paradise and its inhabitants, too, in future books in the series.
#24 The Spirit Ring - Lois McMaster Bujold
I really liked this. Much better than I did The Hallowed Hunt actually. I'm sensing a recurring theme in the author's work. That of a young woman who is devalued or abused by her family realising - with the help of her true love - that she is worthwhile after all. Again, not a plot theme I have issues with, so I don't mind the repetition.
