A Good Day for a Massacre

Slash and Pecos Series, Book 2

De: William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Narrado por: John McLain

Johnstone Country. Where it's never quiet on the Western front.

Life on the straight and narrow is easier said than done for a pair of crooks like Jimmy "Slash" Braddock and Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker. But these reprobates are doing their damnedest to make an honest go of it. They've managed to safely deliver a church organ to a mountain parish when their sometime employer - Chief US Marshal Luther T. "Bleed-'m-So" Bledsoe - recruits them for a job only fools would take.

Marshal Bledsoe wants them to pick up a shipment of gold in the mining town in the Sawatch Mountains. Here's the catch: Slash and Pecos's wagon is just a decoy. When a ruthless gang ambushes the real gold shipment, it's up to Slash and Pecos to go after the trigger-happy bandits. And they won't be alone. A lady Pinkerton, Hattie Friendly - who is anything but - survived the ambush and is hellbent on getting the gold back. Even if she has to team up with a pair of ornery old cutthroats like Slash and Pecos...

The Cutthroats are back. The bad guys are history.

super good I love this story

so good I loved it very much SL Ash and Pecos and the Pinkerton g a l really good story

Another good tale about Slash and Pecos

As always, the author did a great job with his tail about Slash and Pecos. The narration was very good as always, and I enjoyed the book.

Best book I have listened to in a long tine!

Well written. As good as some of the older books written by JA Johnstone. Good characters, good plot and good reading!

The character development, and the humorous interaction between the leads partnership.

I liked the ongoing action, twist and turns in the plot. A fast paced fun read.

Hard Honesty

The way those Honest stayed that way despite temptation to steal and love won the day.

Slash, Pecos and Hattie,'s wild ride

This was a nice change to listen to a different Series and give the Jensen Family a rest. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every book I have read by The Johnstone Brothers Smoke Jensen Series and his family, but this series is a nice change. This is my secound book and I will move to another for awhile.

John McClain did a excellent job in narration.

My most memorable moment in this story was when Hattie got her long awaited chance to get revenge on Gurtie.

This story contains violence and gore. In my opinion, I would not recommend for children. I consider it adult reading or listening.

I Love Every Book the Johnstone’s Write

Except, I didn’t care for how stupid they make Hattie and Lisa out to be. And why do all the women on the side of good have to be so beautiful? Why can’t they be ordinary looking with cleaver and engaging traits that make them attractive?
Although some parts are gory, the writers are careful not to overdo.
As for the narration, he’s terrific! I think he made the book seem as good as some of the other books I rate at 5 stars. My favorite books by these authors is the Drifter series.
I’m beginning to think that different ghost writers are writing some of these later books. William has been dead for years, and J.A. is a great respecter of women. I don’t believe they would dumb down women like was done in this book if they were writing it themselves. I’m using the plural pronoun for J.A. I’m a huge fan of the person known as J.A. Johnstone.
