suspensful and emotional

Another GREAT BOOK! by Kirby Jonas.The way he "ties" everything together at the end is truly masterful.You are sure to enjoy.

Maybe the best Kirby Jonas book so far

I have read all of Kirby Jonas's books, for those of you haven't seen my reviews, and I have loved them all. But I must say this is probably Kirby's best work yet. I played the Virginian on NBC television for nine years, and this book is as good as any of the many scripts I saw over all those years. Kirby has created a super character here in Kate Winchester, and every character in the book is someone who draws your interest, whether you like them or not. If you like this book, you might also like the audio version of it and all of Kirby's other books, which I narrated on tape for Books in Motion. I have read many Western novels, and Kirby Jonas is my favorite Western writer.Make sure you give this one a try.

Another Winner!

Lady Winchester is a grand western mystery! Kirby has Another Winner here and this may well be his best novel yet! We have to wait quit long for Kirby's new books but that is not all bad because each one is a gem. He does not write books to become wealthy but rather to create individual literary treasures. He spends countless hours in research, takes painstaking care to be precise with details, writes strong and clean, progresses powerfully through his story to an always perfect Jonas ending. No one can do it like Kirby! With this new book Kirby shows us that he can create a mystery which will have every one guessing up to the last page. And he again made me shed some real tears in those tender passages which sometimes came very unexpectedly. I love to learn from Kirby's books because I know that he invariably teaches both facts and principles for good living. He helps me to become a better person. One has to search far and wide for such a great author who can accomplish that in his readers. I have found none other to measure up to Kirby's standards. Kirby continues to be without question my favorite author and I have read many books by many authors. Lady Winchester actually deserves a six star rating but for now the five star will have to do. This is another of Kirby's books you simply dare not deprive yourself of reading. Thanks, Kirby, you've done it again. You have Another Winner!

One of Kirby's best. A great book!!

After receiving this book,I read it in two days. Not easy to put down. Kirby Jonas has written a "winner" with this one. As good a mystery in a western setting as I have ever read. A lot of twists and turns with an engrossing plot. A clean book, but tough, depicting the raw time period when surviving against injustice was hard enough for men, much less women, and the woman in this book had all the unique courage to overcome adversity from every angle. Highly recommend it!

A Must for Western fans

Kirby Jonas does it again! This is a wonderful book with all of the ingredients necessary to spark the readers imagination and keep you interested all the way through. LADY WINCHESTER is a western, a mystery and love story all in one. The characters are believeable. Lady Winchester, the heroine, is someone to admire and someone I'd like to have as a friend. The bad guys are the true kind of villian you love to hate. The characters show that none of us is perfect but also that even "bad guys" might have a good side. The history and scenery of the region is factual and enlightening.
