Book of the Week: Blood Trail by Frederic Bean

 I've been enjoying reading westerns lately, and I've read several by author Frederic Bean and enjoyed them. I recently finished "Blood Trail," published in 1993. That's today's blog! 

"Blood Trail" by Frederic Bean was a good story that kept me reading. It started out with a terrible tragedy, which became the impetus for the main character's mission. John Villalobo is a half native american and half Mexican who was married with a wife and son in Texas near the Mexican border. When he was away, he came back to find his family and an old friend were slain, so he set out to avenge them. It took him into various battles with native americans and Mexican bandits. 

A couple of times there were some graphic descriptions of some horrendous deaths... which I read through quickly. But the story was very good and kept the reader engaged. While reading, I kept thinking how is John going to survive battling all of those villains? It's a good read.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Ten years after giving up his career as the murderous pistolero Lobo, marrying and settling down with a wife and child, John Villalobo heads back to Mexico, armed only with a Bowie knife, on the trail of the men who butchered his family.
