The Man from the Broken Hills by Louis L'Amour

3.0

Milo is all over the place - he asks questions but doesn't go looking for the answers, he waits for the answers to come to him. Then, when one answer does arrive, he asks all the old questions again and we start the process over. This means that the clues arrive in a rather haphazard fashion. Add to that, L'Amour uses sleight of hand to make sure the readers never know everything they need to know about the area Milo is working (known as The Basin), which makes it difficult to figure out who and where the criminals are. And, unlike other books in this series, I have no memories of my grandfather reading this book to me when I was little so I didn't figure out who the killer was until L'Amour decided to tell me - that's a good thing, the book kept me guessing, but I wish Milo was a little more organized in his pursuit.
