    About this audiobook

    A Friendly Place . . .

    During a trip back east for a family reunion, Preacher learns that even the civilized midwest can attract a motherlode of trouble . . . especially when a gang of local bully boys decides to pick a fight. Now, wealthy landowner Elam Parks lies dead-and there's a $5,000 reward on the head of the man accused: the first mountain man.

    . . . To Die

    The fortune in blood money has dispatched a small army of bounty hunters after Preacher. Now, back in his once-peaceful homestead in the High Lonesome, as he sights down the barrel of his '33 Hall North breechloader, Preacher is ready for target practice. And he can't think of a more scenic place to pick off the bloodthirsty manhunters, one by one . . .

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who

      Excellent. Action. Plot twists. Criminals. Killing and savaging. Finally, justice.

      You feel like you are there! Great book and story line. The narrator is perfect! Am looking forward to listening to more of this series, hope they are all read by J. Rodney Turner!

      Preacher really isn’t at it, again. He does a good deed and minds his own business. But the bad guys won’t leave him alone. So, Preacher does what Preacher does. Only kinder. Gentler. Or he tries to. Preacher decides it’s time to head back to his beloved Rocky Mountains. Before he gets away from Ohio, he rescues a young orphan from a tyrannical master. Guess who ends up dead? With a bounty on his head and a sickly child in tow, Preacher returns to the mountains. Unfortunately, news of the reward follows him; and Preacher ends up being hunted by a large group of extremely unsavory characters. He’s ready to simply avoid the greenhorns until they murder friends of his (spoiler: including the kid). When the killers won’t take the hint to go away, Preacher escalates his warnings to ... you guessed it, making the hunters into the hunted. Typical Johnstone Preacher-story. Less time spent on silly females, trying to get Preacher to settle down, but I’m /really/ okay with that. Preacher may be “hot,” but I just want to help him take out bad guys. The fourth book in the series, Johnstone’s voice and story-telling are maturing well. I love being left with the high-action story as the pacing slows enough to see more character development.
