"I listened to this on CD and enjoyed it's real-life escapism by which I mean that the real story (Pinkertons, frontier towns) overlapped with the fantastic (swash-buckling Johnny Vermilion) in a very satisfying way."

    " I didn't enjoy this as much as the other Estleman books I've read. It's pretty insubstantial, and the references establishing it as a legend of the West story became annoying after a while. It's not bad, but it's just kind of cutesy. "
