Cowboys and Chaos - A Review

COWBOYS AND CHAOS by Elizabeth Pantley
The Third Magical Mystery Book Club 

 

The Magical Book Club is ready for another book adventure. With their new member in tow the club ventures into the Old West where they meet up with someone special. With a missing saloon girl and a horse thief on the prowl the club will have to solve the mystery while enjoying the ambiance of their new environment.

 

Surprises abound in the third Magical Mystery Book Club, keeping readers on their toes. I enjoyed this trip to the Old West with time spent enjoying the relaxed setting as well as figuring out the mystery. Encounters with the locals give flavor to the story as the friends search for clues, adding good dollops of humor as well. And then there's the food. I love how everyone enjoys coming together to make great meals...and the fact that there are always plenty of snacks.

 

I love how the book club members embrace the settings of the books they inhabit, from the delight they get from the clothes to the slang they pick up, and the special attractions afforded them. I still giggle at Frank's imitation of a cowboy while having Forest's childhood dream come true made me smile. I also love how they work as a team, recognizing each person's individual strengths and playing to those, but ultimately working together to solve the mystery.

Delightful characters and an engaging mystery make COWBOYS AND CHAOS a fun Western themed adventure.
