Book review - "By Sorrow's River" by Larry McMurtry (2003) (warning: spoilers)

 Book three in this series and I'm getting annoyed. Sorry, Larry, I'm sure you're having fun writing it but this is lazy. Now Tamsin falls in love with another guy Pomp who is reluctant to have sex with her. There's some wacky European journalists in a balloon.

A few violent action set pieces liven things up and it does get better once they arrive at Bents Fort. I just didn't care about these characters - Tamsin, her dad, the one dimensional Indians, the characters killed off when McMurtry got bored with them. These stories should have made the one book.
