The Western Star


Book title  The Western Star  by  Craig Johnson

This book has a train theme.  It is written about the train the Western Star.  The Wyoming Sheriffs Association held its annual meeting on the Western Star.  As the train travels across Wyoming a man from the train is found murdered and another goes missing.  Who among the sheriffs aboard has committed this crime?  It is a real whodunit the rest of the journey.  The guilty person is revealed at the end with a hook for the next book in the series.

I do not generally read westerns but I tried this one because I had seen many books by this author and thought it should be good.   The element of suspense was present throughout the book.  However, the author would jump from one scene to another seemingly unrelated scene in the middle of a chapter.  The whole thing was tied together in the end but a little confusing as I was reading.
