Customer Reviews

A Good murder mystery and love story with interesting twists and turns

This is a great read. Most of Fred's earlier books were westerns. This takes place in the tough East Texas oilfields around the1930s. I couldn't stop reading it but didn't want it to end.

Great historical novel!

Fred Bean does a great in his story-telling and keeping you interested in the main character's dilemma of being a good Texas Ranger and having feelings for the wrong girl. I really enjoyed the story and the portrayal of 1920's Texas oil boomtown. Being interested in historical fiction, I think that this was a great read.

Very Good Read

Very good read! Excellent storytelling narrative by the author. Highly recommended.

Great read!

Wonderful tale of Texas in the early days. Bean does a great job of capturing the period and the people of the time. Characters are fun to read about and the plot kept me involved throughout the novel. Super book!
