I've just finished Volume 2 of The Painted Sky, one of Murray Pura's latest series. I must admit that this is my favorite series. The five widows, Marianne, Dana, Diana, Noelle, and Joey, are, once again, in a dangerous and deadly situation as some of them try to get back to the town of Cazadora. Since one of them is wounded, the trip back is all the more difficult....until they stumble upon nine men on horseback. All nine are dressed in black but in an amazing twist, all nine are preachers, their white collars announcing their professions. They offer help and relief to the widows and save two of them from imminent death.The Painted Sky is an action-packed drama that draws the reader into the New Mexico territory from page one. What will happen to these struggling widows who've lost their husbands and their homes? How will they survive alone in a territory run by corrupt politicians who want their land and want them out of the way...dead or alive? Will they ever again find happiness?I'm afraid you must read the series to find out. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for Volume 3!
