Well it's taken me 50 years but I finally got around to read a Western and perhaps I picked the wrong one or maybe the genre is just not for me.

I found the characters one dimensional and the plot slow with a predictable repetition of events.

'Fast Larry' Shaw's wife is gunned down while he is away from home and when he learns who is to blame he sets out to avenge her death.

To quote the King this needed a little less conversation and a little more action. Large portions of the book were spent in discussions between Larry and his companions interspersed with gunfights that never really left the posse in any real danger. There was no determinable plot and the whole thing left me decidedly underwhelmed ( )

Aging gunfighter Larry Shaw, continually plagued by people who want to test their mettle against the man reputed to be the quickest gun alive, is forced to take up arms again when a gang kills his wife while searching for him.
