Grace's Review

Death Rides a Chestnut Mare

This was almost as good as a L’amour book. It did have more stuff in it though about girls, gambling, and drinking. It was also a little awkward in that the main character is a girl who is disguised as a boy to kill her father’s murders. Like her conversations with boys and other girls who flirt with her. I did enjoy the plot and some of the details about the old west. I loved how Compton kept me reading the story with all his great details and plot. I will definitely be reading more of his books in the near future.
