THE BLACK ROCK COFFIN MAKERS (audiobook) by Louis L'Amour








Published by Blackstone Audio in 2007.
Read by Stefan Rudnicki.
Duration: 54 minutes.
Unabridged.

Louis L'Amour (1908-1988) was an amazingly prolific writer with a career that lasted 50 years. He wrote up to 200 books, both novels and non-fiction works, depending on how you count them up, but he began writing short stories for magazines. I assume The Black Rock Coffin Makers is one of those stories.

Synopsis:

A cowboy rides into a strange town hundreds of miles away from home. He is immediately mistaken for a local man who was driven out of town and possibly killed by ruthless competitors so that he couldn't make a claim on a ranch. He looks so much like the other man that armed man try to kill him within minutes of arriving in town.

Luckily, he runs into a local woman who is also involved in this mess and that's when the real adventure starts...

My Review:

This story starts out very strong. I was immediately drawn in. But, as it went along it just lost some of its steam. Not a bad story, but not a great one. Good enough.

I rate this audiobook 3 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: The Black Rock Coffin Makers by Louis L'Amour
