Such fun, interest, reality and adventure for a first novel! The Cowboy Rides Away, by Betsy Thornton, a must for mystery lovers and an extreme must for us mystery lovers in Arizona. Reviews usually refer to the author as Mr. or Ms., however, after reading this novel, you too, will simply refer to the author as Betsy. Her talent allows you to become involved, place yourself within the dusty setting, next to the characters, so that you also feel you know her well. A "quick read" in the sense nothing gets done until you close the back cover. The rating of 9? Only because I wanted the story to go on...
A well written mystery with vivid characters.

The Cowboy Rides Away is a very well written mystery, particularly for a first novel. The characters, even the minor ones, are so vivid they stay in your mind like the country song lyric from the title. The sense of place is also strong. Chloe Newcomb sees the Arizona desert as an outsider, which gives her description of it added sharpness. The mystery was fascinating and not created from a formula. I'll be looking for this author's future work.
