I loved the historical western mystery to this book. It was such a great read with a interesting story that kept me invested. The characters were great and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

This is an excellent western murder mystery. It is the first of a series about a particular family & their friends a& nearby small town. Set in the northeast plains area along with some history of the same. The author did alot of research of the high plains & the peoples of that area as well as the history. She fleshed out the characters & handled them & their cultures & ways well. I probably will read more of the series While not point on for lower plains history & regulations & ways she did a good job of the higher area. If you liek westerns you will love this

I received a complimentary copy of Deadman’s Stagecoach from NetGalley.  Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

I enjoyed the different perspective of the white family’s acceptance of natives and “mixed bloods” which would have been quite unusual during that period in history. I also found Annie’s thoughts concerning some of her peers more realistic than expected for a woman of those days. Overall, it was a short, interesting read and I look forward to a sequel.

A good old fashion western. There is the murder, the good guys and the bad guys and the guilty party is a good twist. All you can ask for. I liked it!

The stage was on its way to the next town when gunmen showed up. They shot at them, the riders shot back and when it was over, one man was dead. The dead man was coming to work on the ranch Luke and his sister Annie lived on.

BooksGoSocial and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It has been published so you can grab a copy now.

At first they thought the bandits killed Adam but in time they found out that someone on the stage had done it. He came with little luggage so they didn't immediately cotton on to a motive. But they were going after the killers even if they had the wrong people in mind.

There's a lot of tracking that the part Indian men do well at. As they catch up to them, there are shootouts and the number of suspects dwindles. But when they found out he was shot on the stage by one of those riding with him, there's a whole new direction to go.

This was a good western and it's not until you get to the end that you find who the killer is. Life wasn't easy in the cowboy era.

I received a free electronic copy of this interesting western novel from Netgalley, C. S. Oslund, and BooksGoSocial-Collie Dog Press. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this novel of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. Originally published in 2016, this is the first novel in a series of five, taking place in 1850 in the Territory of Wyoming, the city of Deadman. This was an interesting, fast read. I will have to acquire the balance of the series. C. M. Oslund is an author I was not familiar with, but she has a knack for bringing us a picturesque historical western. I truly enjoyed her sense of humor and the odd spin of hilarity that just slips up on you. Thank you, BooksGoSocial, for bringing her to our attention.

The main lesson I took from this book was remembering to appreciate how much we all depend on our personal family, be they blood kin or part of our family of friends, to keep us balanced. Deadman, Wyoming is small, insular, everybody knowing each other's business and pull together despite or because of that, to establish a life worth living. Some of the bad guys are extremely bad, most of the good guys are trying to be good, and even the women in the cathouse are well-rounded and attractively humanized. You can't help but like these pioneers, to see them as potential friends and neighbors. This is another book my husband and I 'shared', reading out loud to each other the best parts in the depth of the night. Easily entertained? Or it could just be the tail end of 2020 making us giddy, or seeing Deadman through the eyes of C. M. Oslund. In any case, I want more, please.

I received this from Netgalley.com.

"Annie and her brother Luke Hunter are raising horses and cattle just East of the Rocky Mountains. Their lives are in danger and a showdown is on the horizon in this 1800’s Western whodunit."

An enjoyable and quick read, good start to a new western series.

3☆

Deadman’s Stagecoach by C.M. Oslund is a 1800’s Western who-dun-it. A lighter type western read, mixed with plenty of backstory on Adam, a passenger on a stagecoach, who was shot dead before reaching his destination.. Why? And who wanted him dead? Hired men? What about the other stagecoach passengers?
Overall, quick enjoyable western historical fictional read.. 3 Stars.

My thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own.
