Review: Authentic, eventful, well-researched

Well-researched, like the other books in this series.  No. 7 in the Series, "The Traherns." In addition to the 10 (so far) novels in this series, there are 2 or 3 novellas that are included here and there, which kind of fill in the blanks about some of the minor characters.  It really does make for a feeling of completeness if read in order.  Yet, each book and novella can stand alone.  There are never cliff-hangers, but each story is complete in itself.  I love Nancy Radke's writing, which is clear, colorful, authentic, and tells a lot of story with just enough words.  Her stories always move right along and include plenty of eventfulness and some surprises.  Even though some events are not "light" (outlaws, thieves, gunmen, etc.), the stories have a feeling of lightness. There are always elements of romance, adventure, family, integrity among the main characters. (These comments refer only to Radke's "Trahern Series," as I have not YET read any of her other works.)
