Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-27 00:00:00 David Cross It has been several decades since I read any cowboy tale by Louis L'Amour. I might give him another chance but it won't be on the basis of Black Rock Coffin Makers (a bad title for this mediocre book). This story has only the usual elements: Jim Garlin, a square-jawed, honest guy with a lot of money in hand from a recently completed cattle drive who finds himself in a strange town at the wrong time. He is mistaken for a local guy who has the right to bid on a nice big ranch whose owner recently died. With timely help from a local girl, he avoids several guys who are gunning for him He is bribed and left in a remote cabin. By strokes of luck he is not there when some guys come by to kill him. He comes across the girl again and decides to stick around and see things through. Aside from telling you that things turn out okay (I don't count that as a spoiler.), there is little plot to comment on. This can't be anywhere near his best work. He needed to give the ending a lot more care than comes through. A real disappointment.
