One of the greatest western I've read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I loved this book!! There are 4 books in all, and this one is the best, though they are all great. A female as the lead hero is a refreshing addition to western literature. Some may find it unbelievable, but I thought it was awesome!! I highly recommend it.

Daniel Strange meets his [end] while riding his chestnut mare on the way to Texas hoping to buy some cattle. He is the best gunsmith in Missouri but his lifeless body is left at the end of a rope, robbing his family of a good husband and father. ... The first of a trilogy, all of them good.
I have found a new favorite!

I am a die-hard Louis L'Amour fan, but i had run out of books to read so i thought i would try out Ralph Compton. boy, was i surprised how much i loved this book. so much so that i was finished with it the same day i got it, and finished the sequel the next day. i am awaiting the third book in the trilogy eagerly. if you, like me have are looking for good western books try Ralph Compton, and also Jake Ballas. They are both extremely good.
Death Rides A Chestnut Mare
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I really enjoyed this book. I like the fact that the main character is a girl. Danielle, due to the fact her brothers are too young, decides to go after those who killed her father. The story line is so interesting that I could not put it down. I can't wait until the sequel "In the Shadow of the Noose" comes out in March 2000.
I couldn't put the book down! Outstanding Western!

At first I wasn't too sure about the book, but after the first chapter, I didn't want to stop reading and kept reading on chapter after chapter. What an exciting character Danielle Steele is. I was so excited when I got to the end of the chapter and read that a Part II is coming out in "The Shadow of a Noose" I just hope that it comes out soon. I love Louis L'Amour books, but now I really love reading Ralph Compton books.
