For those who have been Loren Estleman readers but haven’t tried his westerns, this could be the time. Be forewarned that The Book of Murdock is not the first in the Page Murdock series. Estleman, a multi-Silver Spur Award winner spins a good yarn with flavorable language of the frontier west. Dastardly villains confront Murdock as he goes undercover as a preacher to solve a slew of Texas crimes. A hanging judge, a surprise meeting with a “shady” lady from Murdock’s past and more colorful characters await the reader as they ride the story’s trail. At the end of the saga, Estleman includes a list of other writings or viewings where the law clothed itself in pastoral duds. The book is corralled in adult fiction at all three CMPL locations.
