Jubal Dark has been a tough common-sense sheriff for 20
years and is facing down a re-election that is not going well. In fact, he full expects to lose. Although
Dark has caught his share of criminals, there is a hostile attitude in town
concerning three escaped killers and an unsolved murder cold case of a young
girl.
The characters are all believable. Dark is a very likeable character as a
widower and father of an adult daughter.
Holly Sharps is a crime scene tech working for Texas Ranger Buck Nevis. Buck
allows her to make coffee, file, and pick up his dry cleaning. Holly offers to help Dark solve his cold case
and work for free if he will just give her a chance.
This is a pretty gritty tale and although it had a little
more violence than I like, I was impressed with the quality writing and
suspenseful plot. This is a great crime
drama!
I received an electronic version of Shooting Crows at Dawn for review in return for a review giving my honest opinion. I receive no compensation for any books purchased through my links.
