 not bad, but not great Nov 17, 2009
I was disappointed, after reading other reviews I was expecting a better story. It is well written, and easy to read, but just not exciting at all. The characters were uninspiring, the plot was boring. Not worth my $11, or whatever it was I paid for it.
 loved this book Nov 09, 2009
I usually don't read westerns, but somehow I decided to read this book. Loved it!
 The Bad Bad West Sep 05, 2009
The Shoekeeper keeps your attention and you don't want to put it down. However, the bad guys are bad and the good guy is just as bad. Sorry I cannot give Steve Dancy the title of hero. How can two wrongs make a right? By the author of "The Bluegrass Dream" and Natchez Above the River"

Entertaining. Jul 16, 2009
A fun western. I haven't read a lot of westerns, but this one was enjoyable. New York shopkeeper Steve Dancy sells his shop and travels west, looking for adventure. His travels take him to the silver mines of Nevada. A gentleman who prefers books and cards with friends, Steve inadvertently finds himself a gunslinger embroiled in a feud with a silver baron. Add a beautiful woman, hired killers and some early Nevada history and you have The Shopkeeper.
The story was fast paced and entertaining. The hero isn't the most upstanding guy: he'll lie and cheat to get what he wants, but he's clever enough to manage it all, and take a few of the bad guys out along the way.
I liked the characters, and the portrayal of friendship. I liked the strength of Jenny, the main female character, and I cheered when her mother-in-law received her own just rewards. My main complaint is the moderate profanity, which I found annoying and unnecessary. I think there are plenty of other words one can use instead of the ubiquitous "F" word.
This is obviously the first in a series about Steve Dancy and I look forward to more.
