- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5P.K. Pinkerton's debut.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My boys enjoyed the suspense, the surprises, the mystery.
I'm glad I read it out loud, so that I could skip some parts that weren't child-friendly. (i.e. how the Soiled Dove stored her money, although in keeping with the times, and character, the description was more than what I would want my boys to think about.)
We looked for more in the series and were disappointed that we couldn't locate them. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first book in a new series; I like the wild west backdrop; a winning narrator in P.K. Pinkerton.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I wanted to like this more than I did, because the idea of western featuring an autistic kid detective sounds like a good original idea. However (and I might be being oversensitive), the racial/gender issues were too much for me to overlook, and I found myself wondering who I could ever recommend this book to ("Well, it features numerous horrible stereotypes about Native Americans, and one time they straight up calls a lady a whore. And he sees two people having sex!"). Plus, I'd just read By the Great Horn Spoon! which was just a much more fun kids' western. I would've given this three stars because it was a good mystery, but I'm knocking it down a star for the rest of the faults.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a fun, western adventure set back in the 1800s before Nevada was a state.
