In Rob Kresge's third entry in the Warbonnet historical mystery series, mysterious deaths follow Russian Grand Duke Alexis on his goodwill visit to America, from New York harbor, to Chicago, and on to the rolling plains of Wyoming. Marshal Monday Malone and special deputy Kate Shaw board the royal train and try to identify a killer. Which passengers will help them, hinder them, perhaps even harm them?
When the killer strikes again, in a locked compartment aboard the Duke's snowbound train, hunting guides provided by the Army--Buffalo Bill Cody and George Armstrong Custer--offer their help. But are they allies or suspects?
What reviewers and authors are saying about the Warbonnet Mysteries:
"Murder for Greenhorns was a finalist for the Bruce Alexander Award for Best Historical Mystery and (Painted Women) the captivating sequel is equally good. The author succeeds in incorporating deduction into the Wild West, and this series will be enjoyed by fans of Steve Hockensmith's Holmes on the Range and William de Andrea's Lobo Black/Quinn Booker series."
--Publishers Weekly
"Painted Women is an enjoyable story with lively characters, a quick pace, and plot twists which keep readers guessing as Monday and Kate pursue the cold-blooded murderer who will do anything cover his tracks." --Historical Novels Review
"The series achieves new heights in Death's Icy Hand, where Kresge puts the capital H in historical. His writing is both strong and subtle, deftly handling the veiled romance between Monday and Kate against the backdrop of the majestic sweep of the American West. A winning series!" --Mike Orenduff, author of the award-winning Pot Thief mysteries
"Echoes of the Orient Express gone West! Fast-paced lessons of history the way it's best told, filled with action and romance. The centerpiece is a locked sleeping car where the principal suspect is found beside one murder victim's corpse. A locked room puzzle! But in this collection of sophisticated travelers, who will trust the solution sought by an uneducated marshal and a mere woman?" --Richard Peck, author of Schmidt's Mill and One Jim West
