Review: The Quick Hands of a Gifted Writer
Rating: 5 out of 5

"Quick Hands" opens with a slam-bang punch that doesn't let up until the final bell. In this light but powerful read we meet the battling McMahon, the gentle giant Hugo, and the wise-beyond-her-nine-years, Molly, who travel with Professor Hanratty in his Traveling Medicine and Health Show. It's an ideal setup for ongoing adventure as this unlikely family moves across a western landscape full of shysters, shenanigans, and old-fashioned villainy. Waylaid by road agents, there's some doubt as to which characters will walk away...but fear not! You're in the quick hands of a gifted writer. Sit back and enjoy.Dundee's got a winner here just as it stands, but my hope is to see this tight short piece act as an intro for more stories with the same characters.
