Kate’s 2¢: “Silver Ties” by Ann Parker
“Silver Ties” by Ann Parker
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…
The promised mystery, dective, and western flavor are all present in this novel about a beautiful, intelligent, and determined woman in a semi-wild town. She is a saloon owner, partnered with a gentle giant of a black man and her missing husband.
The handsome new Pastor is established illicitly in Inez’s bed, but sightings of her errant husband begin to surface, along with Inez’s friends’ insistence that she witnessed two men being murdered. Inez doesn’t know if she can trust her lover and eyes another, who happens to be a railroad man.
