Fun historical fiction, great narrator
submitted by 21621031390949 on June 10, 2022, 8:54pm
Oh, my gosh, I did enjoy this novel! While it is historical fiction, not a biography, I believe it’s much closer to the truth of who Doc Holliday was than the legends created by Hollywood and storytellers of the time. The author’s research, combined with a good sense for the American culture(s) of the time and good writing, make this a very enjoyable read.
Or in my case, it was a very enjoyable “listen.” The unabridged novel is read with great expression and contrasting voices by this narrator, which added to the pleasure. I highly recommend this for those who like historical fiction.

SUBJECTS
Earp, Wyatt, -- 1848-1929 -- Fiction.
Holliday, John Henry, -- 1851-1887 -- Fiction.
The year is 1878, peak of the Texas cattle trade. The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail twenty-six-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House.
Dodge City (Kan.) -- Fiction.
