Review: Western novels at their best
Rating: 5 out of 5

A characteristic I like about Van Holt's western novels is the way he builds up his stories. You can sense trouble coming before it happens,  and in "The Man Called Bowdry" it's triggered when an old man is suddenly shot dead. And so other deaths immediately follow with Bowdry seemingly holding the smoking gun.This is another great western adventure from Van Holt whose novels are increasingly growing on me. I can't think of a better author who currently writes better gritty westerns than Van Holt. If you fancy an escape into the Wild West, you can't go far wrong with Van Holt.
