Review of Tombstone Rendezvous
Mark McGinnis, a former lawman, decided to leave his past behind and start a new life elsewhere. His reputation for being the fastest shooter had been drawing unsavory characters who wanted to face him to town, so he decided that the best course of action would be to resign and leave. He ended up being taken in by the Masters family. However, trouble seemed to follow Mark. When trading supplies, he and one of the young Masters, James, stumbled upon a family that had been brutally murdered by outlaws. However, James had seen the family earlier and realized the young daughter had most likely been taken by the outlaws. Mark, once again, is forced to take action to try and save her. He can not seem to escape trouble, and it seems that all roads lead to Tombstone, Arizona. Will the outlaws be caught? What will happen to the Masters family? Read Tombstone Rendezvous by Bernard Mamlin to find out!
From start to finish, this book is filled with unexpected twists and turns. Mark and company face outlaws, attacks from the Natives, bank robberies, and more. The book also jumps between multiple perspectives. I appreciated it when it would give the perspective of the outlaws. They came up with intricate schemes to stay ahead of the limited law and vigilantes that roamed the Wild West. I appreciated the moving point of view and how it kept the plot moving along at a fast pace.
I also thought that Mamlin did an excellent job of making each character dynamic. From army deserters to Ruthie Masters, who was an excellent shot, the characters all came to life to create a diverse ensemble. I felt as though there were no flat characters throughout the book. I commend Mamlin for an excellent job on that front.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The book contained more than ten errors, indicating that it could use an additional round of proofreading. If Mamlin were to polish the book more, I believe that it would be worthy of a perfect rating, as the editing errors were my only dislike of the book. This book is suitable for mature audiences that don't mind strong language and depictions of violence, including rape. If you are a fan of Westerns, then I highly suggest you give Tombstone Rendezvous a try!
