Synopsis

Legendary bounty hunter Luke Jensen enlists the help of chuckwagon cook Dewey "Mac" McKenzie in a deadly manhunt—but ends up neck-deep in an even deadlier range war . . .

Dewey "Mac" McKenzie doesn't have much of an appetite for bounty hunting. Before he was a cook, Mac had a price on his head—and bounty hunters on his tail. Nowadays, he'd much rather be stewing beef over an open fire than opening fire on another man. Then he met Luke Jensen, bounty hunter extraordinaire. As a favor to his new friend, Mac agrees to join Luke on the trail of a wanted fugitive. A trail that leads them deep into Oregon timber country—and smack dab in the middle of a brewing war . . .

The trouble starts in a saloon, a knuckle-busting brawl between the loggers from Pine Knob and some cowboys from a nearby ranch. When the ruckus turns bloody, Luke and Mac join the fray. Funny thing is, Luke takes the side of the ranchers while Mac teams up with the loggers. Which works out in their favor. By splitting up, they can now search for the fugitive in both groups at the same time. Mac steps in as the loggers' new cook, while Luke joins the cowboys at the Triangle 7 Ranch, where this feud first ignited—and is getting hotter by the day. For Luke and Mac, that means stepping out of the frying pan—and into the gunfire.

Bullets, Biscuits, and Bloodshed had all the ingredients for a wild, unforgettable ride… but somehow the recipe never quite came together. The mystery kept me interested enough to finish, but the pacing dragged in spots and some of the twists felt more confusing than shocking. I love Westerns though......more
