The legendary Sheriff Ben Stillman series continues....
Things have heated up since the last time Ben Stillman brought peace to Clantick, Montana Territory. It's been two years since he left to join the Pinkerstons, and now there's a group of bloodthirsty cowboys who think they own the town.
When the ruthless desperados shoot down a helpless, feeble-minded friend of Jody Harmon, it's the last straw. Something's gotta be done. And Jody knows there's just one man for the job. Ben Stillman is returning to Clantick...and he'll have justice once more with a .44...
Once More With a .44 (A Sheriff Ben Stillman Western) Reviews
-
Peter Brandvold he's one of the great new writers of hard hitting western action and his second novel Once More With a .44 is a solid example of it. The story is told with crisp writing and good pacing. Brandvold novels are akin (in spirit) to the Piccadilly Cowboys books, violent action and harsh depiction of the old west, but with a little bit more meat on the bone. The book length (almost double most Piccadily's outing) allows for more character development and more detailed oriented storytelling. I really like Sheriff Stillman and the ensemble cast around him, hopefully Peter Brandvold will continue to make his adventure action packed and well written.

Book 2 in the Marshall Stillman Series. it’s two years later and Jody and Crystal are married. Clantick is what my grandfather would have referred to as the Wild Woolly West. The Robber Baron may be dead along with the corrupt sheriff and mayor but without firm leadership the town is a lawless place. Jody has sent for Stillman to restore order. The coupling is almost chaste and profanity absent but the violence and gunplay are graphic.
Knowing that there are a dozen more books in the series takes some of the suspence out of our hero’s escapades. -
I like his style, fast forward, rather than messing around. Hegets to the point, as the crow flies,
Rather than placing a lot of meaningless stumbling blocks in the way, which many authors do to extend the length of the story. -
Not sure why this series was reordered with this release as this novel is obviously book #2 while and the previous book is #3. In any case the Ben Stillman series has a great cast of characters and I plan to read every one.

Sheriff Ben Stillman is back in Clantick. Summoned by his friend, Jody, it has become a center for vice. The last two Sheriff's were murdered. One the train headed back to town, Ben thwarts a robbery, and it turned quite deadly. The survivors had to go back and face their paw, who is meaner than a grizzly bear. They set out to kill Stillman and even with a bullet in his back, that is no easy task. This is a separate plot from the main story. In town, a rich rancher is running rough shod over everybody and pretty much owns the town and the law in it. Ben wastes no time getting on his bad side. Prostitutes are being murdered, so between the train robbers, the crooked rancher and that, the sheriff has plenty on his plate. He telegrams Leon to come and join in the fun. The murderer if the sheriffs comes as a complete surprise.

Good reading but too much porn.
Good reading but would be better if you toned back the sex scenes and lead remarks and some of the swearing. Thanks. -
Great second story in series
A great continuation of Ben Stillman story. Great characters get more defined with depth. More justice is brought to Montana.
