I've just finished Volume 1 of The Painted Sky by Murray Pura. As usual, his characters seem to jump off the page and come into my living room! I can imagine myself talking to them (maybe not such a good thing!). Set in the late 1860s, this has a rugged, western theme, the perfect vehicle for a group of not-so-helpless women to go up against an ego-maniacal bully. Pura's portrayal of characters is, as always, right on the mark. Readers are drawn to the women immediately and are rooting for them to overthrow this tyrant and win back a portion of what they've lost as his hands. The story is compelling and suspenseful, and the reader is left wondering....again....what will happen in the next volume! This is a series you must not miss. After reading the first volume, I'm hooked!
