Publisher's Summary

One of the best-selling Western writers of all time, William W. Johnstone established three of the genre’s most enduring characters in Matt and Smoke Jensen and their stalwart friend Preacher. In Helltown Massacre, the family Jensen lands squarely in the crosshairs of a railroad tycoon trying to run the iron horse through Paiute territory. To protect the land, three honest men will face half a hundred hired guns—impossible odds, unless you’re a Jensen.

Duplicate story different title

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Make the advertized book the one that was downloaded, not the same story with a different title which I had already downloaded.

Has The Family Jensen turned you off from other books in this genre?

Only the sense that I'm being deceived in the purchase of audiobooks.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jack Garrett?

I don't think this problem is the narrator's fault.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

This is not a problem with the book or the author. It is a problem with marketing or data base cross-over.
