Wow another amazing story from Thompson, this time about Texas, Mexico, the American Indian tribes and the US. I always learn so much history from his books in a most enjoyable way.
This is a fast moving story, a real page turner. I know the locations but it was fascinating to learn about life on St Michael’s Mount. Apparently Thompson has written about 40 books so I’m looking forward to more stories by this wonderful author. Gripping from start to finish (in a Cornish sort of way).
I think this is the last of the Retallick series. I am so sad that it is finished, it has been a wonderful journey for me. Now I am continuing to read more of Thompson’s book, a wonderful story teller.

I refuse to classify it as historic fiction, because while set in the past there is little historic about it.
If you buy a single scene in this book, I have some prime ocean front property in Nebraska I'd like to sell you.
