Review: Some of Dundee's Best Writing

I really liked this third adventure in the Bodie Kendrick series. The characters rang true and the story flowed along smooth as ten year old scotch. Like Dundee's BLADE OF THE TIGER, the history is compelling without being forced. Compared to HARD TRAIL TO SOCORRO or RIO MANTANZA, Kendrick catches a little bit of a breather with DIAMOND, which balances the series nicely. There's plenty of action here, but everything's a bit more light-hearted. My favorite scene is a mysterious confrontation in a seedy tent city, with distinctive characters and aa nicely choreographed fight. With nary a false note, DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH is some of Wayne D. Dundee's best stuff!
