Death Along the Cimarron

Avenger/gunman Danny Duggin is really the beautiful, single rancher Danielle Strange, who, in a previous novel, disposed of her father's murderers. Hoping to settle down quietly on her small spread, she finds she must again don pants and six-guns to right still more wrongs. Can such a woman on such a mission find love? Jim Gough narrates the adventure with authentic Texas intonations and the sound of the seasoned camp fire storyteller. He gives us plenty of drama, action, and (pasteboard) characterization but does not always stay in step with his author. Still, he manages to keep the listener interested and, for the most part, stay out of the story's way. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
