In Louis L'Amour's Silver Canyon, Matt Brennan rides into dusty Hattan's Point - and almost instantly falls in love. Beautiful Moira Maclaren catches his eye, and he decides he wants to marry her. Unfortunately, Matt ends up siding against Moira's father in a land dispute. As the tension (and body count) escalates, Matt must find a way to bring peace back to Hattan's Point before he ends up on the wrong end of a bullet.
Pros: There ain't nothin' like a good ol' western! In this one, I like both the hero and the heroine, which is rather rare. There was an unusual twist to the storyline that I didn't see coming at the beginning of the book, though it became clearer to me as the book went on.
Cons: A fist fight lasts waaaaay too long. Matt got overly aggresive (and bloodthirsty) at times. **Spoiler warning** The title totally gives away a key part of the story (which I picked up on anyway, long after I forgot the title of the book!)
My Rating: T (aggresive hero)
