STRINGER AND THE HANGMAN'S RODEO Stringer, Book 4

With a fast pace and a friendly drawl, Peter Berkrot tells the story of cowboy newsman Stringer as he is sent to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to cover a rodeo—and ends up uncovering a crime. Berkrot is perfect as Stringer, the ultimate hero, who can ride a bronco better than rodeo professionals and draw his gun faster than infamous outlaws while the ladies line up to have their way with him. Berkrot gives spirited portrayals of the many colorful characters as they fight, spit, bleed, and seduce. He whips out salty language and hilarious quips as naturally as any cowboy of the Old West. The good guy will obviously prevail, so listeners can simply relax and be entertained. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
