More than simply "The True Story of the West's Legendary Hanging Judge" as promised by its subtitle, author Loren Estleman's "The Branch and the Scaffold" is an immense book, literally a geneaology of Judge Parker and his family, the Executioner, a half dozen sheriffs and U.S. marshals, and all the criminals, individuals as well as bands, of the western territories in the second half of the 19th... more

April 29, 2008
"You give your mouth to evil,
And your tongue frames deceit." -- Psalm 50:19
I found Frames in a most unusual way. I'm a big fan of Loren D. Estleman and picked up a copy of the second book in the Valentino series, Alone. Utterly charmed by that story, I pulled my reading temporarily to a halt mid-way through and headed out to find Frames. The back story for Alone seemed just too... more

This is a totally different Western in all respects. If your forte is shoot-outs on main street,posses hunting down owlhoots,ending in a gun battle,stagecoach robberies,ambushes of and by Indians,cattle drives or ranches,and all those sorts of things;you won't find much of that in this novel.
However;if you are interested in historical aspects of the Old West,particularly life in and... more

| 6. American Detective: An Amos Walker Novel (Amos Walker Novels) |
|
By: Loren D. Estleman
Publisher: Tor Books
December 02, 2008
Loren Estlemen is one of those writers that I habitually pick up, spend time with, and know I'm going to get a solid story. He writes private eye yarns and Westerns, two genres that I always lean toward when I want comfort reading.
American Detective is the latest novel in the long-running Amos Walker series. Estleman writes Detroit, Michigan, like no one else, and Walker is a thoroughly... more

I loved this book it was just perfect. I went and searched out all the "Peter Macklin" books even buying a ,"Kill Zone (Peter Macklin, The Nine-to-Five Killer, Book 1" for $10 for a torn up paperback, worth every penny.
I am not a heavy reader but I love a book that you can not put down. You read with a flashlight so your wife will not tell you to go to sleep. All of the Peter Macklin... more

|
By: Loren D. Estleman
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
September 01, 1999
This is my first Amos Walker detective novel, and I must say, Boy am I impressed! I listened to the audio version and the narrator manages to capture Amos Walker's dialog, and the dialog of the other characters with such detail, I found myself taking the long way home just to extend the listening experience!
Amos Walker, is a Detroit Private Investigator hired to discover the 'witchfinder'... more

March 21, 2006
And he aims right for the gut. If you are familiar with the Walker series, you know what I mean. If not, this series is not a procedural (like CSI on TV), nor psychological thriller. It's a fast story with a hard-boiled heart. Amos Walker, PI, matches wit and humor with everyone he comes across. Smart characters/devious motivations/muscle cars seem to be the backdrop of each of his stories. Why... more
