Hoping to build a new life for herself, Lucinda Carter escapes from a Texas brothel and runs to a Gulf Coast bayou to meet her buried treasure-hunting lover. At the same time a Texas lawman moves east tracking a merciless killer. Painting a portrait of a woman determined to start over, Kent's (The Heretic's Daughter) 19th-century action-packed Western includes drawn guns and various debts owed and paid. Actress Ellen Archer's pleasing, professional reading includes distinct, nicely paced speech and a voice range and timbre that easily accommodate both male and female characters.
VERDICT Will appeal to Western, historical fiction, and Kent fans. ["Kent has built a well-paced story, filled with twists and turns that will surprise most readers," read the review of the Little, Brown hc, LJ 7/13.]
