Review - Bury the Hatchet - 5 star

Bury the Hatchet by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is a continuation of the story started in North of Laramie of Buck Trammel and Adam Hagen.  Trammel has continued his job as sheriff and continues to have issues with Hagen’s father.  The real issue in this novel is the Pinkerton Agency has been hired to bring these two men in “dead or alive” and when a Pinkerton is after you there is much danger as Trammel knows being a former Pink himself.

There is the normal intrigue of   This book like the first is a gripping story of what might have happened in the small Western frontier town of Blackstone drug dealing, prostitution, and other political shenanigans to keep the reader entertained.

The friendship of Hagen and Trammel, which began in the first novel continues into this story although it gets strained on occasion as Hagen is a bit of ne’er-do-well.  But solving the dangerous situation not only of the Pinkertons but also a bounty a disgruntled man has also put on their heads is exciting.

While this book is the continuation of the Trammel story, it can be read as a stand alone but having read the first builds a much better vision of the characters involved in this story.  It is a book worth reading and because of the fast-paced action is a quick read.
