I read mysteries but not usually westerns, so this was very different for me.  The book was really enjoyable.  The plot was interesting and witty with a lot of action and some humor; the main characters, Mick and Casey, were very likeable.  Like another reviewer, I had trouble believing they were so young at first but then got used to it and just accepted it.  It took a while to get an understanding of this young married couple because their development is rather slow.  But they keep developing right up until the end of the book, which is good, especially if this is the first in a series.  The story just seamlessly flowed which is a credit to the author.  There was a lot of shooting and many deaths, yet overall the book was a light, fun read and keeps the reader engaged.  I think the combination of mystery and western is intriguing and was well done by Ms. LaGuire.  I will definitely read the next in this series once it is released.
