Another Winner From Russ Hall

Russ Hall has written great books in two genres now: mystery and western. This book has elements of both genres: the story wends about in unexpected turns, like a mystery, while the backbone and the details of setting are true to great westerns. There is a tender story at the heart of a McMurty-like story about the harshness and cruelty of the old West. I loved this book. I hope you will too.

Review of Bent Red Moon

I fell in love with the story of Bent Red Moon! It was the kind of book that grabbed my attention from beginning to end. The setting of rustic hills in Texas was so real I could almost feel the heat from the sun and the grit on my tongue. My favorite part was seeing how Mick and his dark skinned friend would get out of the trouble that seemed to follow them everywhere. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves westerns, romance, excitement and mystery all wrapped up in one.

western thriller

Wow! What an exciting book! I got caught up in the story and the drama and couldn't put the book down. The book is action-packed, yet also has a lot of interesting facts about the Texas flora and wildlife. I recommend this book to young people as well as adults.

Wild West Texas Days

Mick Dixon, a boy on a quest to find his last living relative, is alone and unarmed in the wilds of Central Texas in the 1870s, where stray Comanche and Kiowa warriors are as likely to be a part of his day as treasure hunters seeking the lost San Saba mine. His path crosses that of Syd, a girl who has adventured out into the wilds to seek revenge. Bill Hinton may well be who they both seek, or he may just be one of the scaliest rascals loose in a time of buffalo soldiers, feuds, and constant lawless scrapes of all kind. If you expect westerns to be shoot-'em-ups with men in white hats facing off against men in black hats you are in for a pleasant surprise. Bent Red Moon brings the west of that peppy era to life, and lets it breathe, at a leather-slapping page-turning pace. You won't be able to put this book down.
