THE SILVER SHOOTER Rose Gallagher, Book 3

Narrator Barrie Kreinik reunites with Pinkerton agents Rose Gallagher and Thomas Wilshire for a third adventure, this time in the late-nineteenth-century American West. At Theodore Roosevelt's behest, the pair investigate a series of murders and disappearances around his ranch in the Dakota Territory. Kreinik deftly characterizes the aspiring politician, conveying his robust energy. Throughout their journey, the intrepid Rose's light Irish accent and working-class background contrasts with her English partner's posh background, though both are outsiders among the territory's white and Indigenous communities. Kreinik's attuned portrayals also create balanced supporting characters, particularly Little Wolf and the Sioux hunting party. As Rose delves further into chilling paranormal activity, romantic and local tensions build. Both fans and those new to the series will eagerly anticipate the next installment.
