This book was as good as all the outhers i have read by Ralph Compton. Mystery,adventer, and realism of what it was like to live in the mid 1800,s. I have lost count on just how many of his books i have read. But i have never been disapponted with any of them. Only wish he could write a lot faster. I have also read Death rides a chestnut mare. Can not wait for the third book to come out. Demon,s pass is also wounderful.
Front to back adventure.

There have been four Western books in my life I have read from the first page to the last without taking a break. One was a Compton trail drive, the other one was Cotton's Montana Red. Now I have done the same with The Shadows of a Noose. The players are tough and I believed they were real. Misery express is the next in the series, coming out this month. I hope it can keep up to this one. These two writers were both great. No wonder they were partners.
Non-stop action.

After reading Death On A Chestnut Mare, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Now that I finished reading it, I can't wait for the Riders of Judgement. Danielle and her twin brothers have become some of the best western characters since Hondo Lane. Ralph Compton leaves us with a lot of good books to remember him by. This one is the best so far.
A classic in the making.

Having read the first in this trilogy, Death Rides A Chestnut Mare, I couldn't wait for this book to come out. I knew Mr. Compton had passed away, but once I saw Ralph Cotton's name on the cover, I knew Mr. Compton had left his work in good hands. The characters, Danielle and her brothers Tim and Jim, are as real, as tough, and as honest as a sawmill dollar. I recommend this book for both adults and young people who like reading about the old west as it was, writing by men who understand it. I can't wait to read the next one, Misery Express, coming out in April.
