Kill Me Tomorrow is the third installment in The Old Cowboys Never Die Series by William and Jay Johnstone. For the past few years the old parts Eli Dulan and Casey Tubbs were robbing banks dressed up as elderly gentleman and using the money to purchase the cattle ranch they used to work for. they also use some of the money to help others down on their luck. Ever since the beginning they’ve had a US Marshal called Colten Grey investigating the old man robberies and despite knowing it’s Eli and Casey he can’t prove it. When the robberies become deadlier and more plentiful Marshall Grey knows he must put a stop to it but he will not be the only man on the case because Eli and Casey can’t have rabble rossers ruining their good reputation by going around killing bank employees. This was a great one I really love that we got to see Marshall Grays home life and find out more about him, the series is really getting good and I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next. I haven’t enjoyed a Johnstone series this much since I read Have Brides Will Travel and I absolutely loved that one but then again I love all the Johnstone books. #NetGalley, #KensingtonPublishing, #KillMeTomorrow, #OldCowboysNeverDie, #JohnstoneCountry,
There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point. Many times, characters from one series will show up in another as supporting hands. The communities are true to the era, clothing, guns, food and troubles are all what you'd find if you looked them up in the history books. No two stories are the same, each character or set of characters is unique and so are their stories. The writing is skillful, readers are pulled into the story and you will laugh and cry right along with the characters. I made the mistake of picking up a Johnstone western my uncle was reading. Ive been hooked ever since. Now I share them with my reading family and will continue as long as new Johnstones are released.
