MY REVIEW OF The Cursed Hill
When Alex
witnesses a murder on Apache land, he doesn’t hesitate to ride in to assess the
situation, even if it is on the cursed hill that is to be avoided. The victim
was a Mexican woman, and she had hidden her three year old daughter, Rosa,
behind a group of boulders, thus, saving her from the shooter. When it is
discovered that the victim was carrying a piece of paper with Alex’s name on
it, he is further compelled to investigate the woman’s reason for seeking him
out. But first, he must face the wrath of Chief Bodaway for trespassing on
reservation land, and taking the victim from his jurisdiction.
I always enjoy
reading Alex Drew novels. I like how they are modern day westerns, and updated
for situations with today’s occurrences. The plot is always well thought out.
Each of the characters are explored to give full depth to them. The
introduction of Chief Bodaway was a good fit for the plot, and I hope will make
more appearances in future chapters. I loved his personality, and the
camaraderie between him and Alex. The dry humor throughout kept me entertained,
as usual. You can’t help but like a witty cowboy and Indian (pun intended).
