Longarm and the Nevada Nymphs (Western Action Series)

Summary: Pretty dissapointed
Review: I have to admit I was pretty dissapointed with this one. It has a great setup, Spotting the Hunsacker clan leaving town, Longarm hops a horse and races off in pursuit of them. Now he has got them cornered in the ghost town of Lodestar, Nevada. The group of them on the inside of an old abandoned stone house built like a fort, and Longarm without food or water on the outside...What a terrific setup for a story, imagine the ingenious ways that Longarm can pick them off one at a time,go in and get them or smoke them out. Instead Longarm spends the first third of the book sitting around with no clue and complaining about his job and reminiscing about some women he has had.

Then some women arrive and he kidnaps them and uses them for bait, but he is wounded and spends the rest of the book running away from the bad guys and getting weaker all the time. Finally at the end he has to use a woman to help him get the bad guys.

In the story I didn't have the old feeling that Longarm was the master of the situation, moving events along as he planned them, rather he was just reacting to things and trying to stay alive, not like the old (early) Longarm at all
