CHENNEVILLE

Grover Gardner brings the Old West to life in this slow-burn tale of vengeance set against a backdrop of post-Civil War lawlessness. John Chenneville is a Union soldier who is struggling to regain his memories while recovering from a head wound on his family homestead in St. Louis. Gardner gives Chenneville a light drawl and a steady, even tone that belies his fierce determination to find the man who murdered his sister and her family. With only a name to go on--Dodd--Chenneville sets out on a manhunt that will take him deep into Texas. Gardner's Missouri French accents are impressive, particularly with Fermin, the family's anxious manservant. A must-listen for mystery and history fans alike. E.E.
