The second in McMurtry's Berrybender stories lacks the verve of the first - that at least was focused around the romance of Tamsin and Jim; in this one she has a baby and there's shenanigans with the family - dad's an idiot and has sex, the mountain men gossip, there's an occasional bit of gore. It builds up to a massacree but everyone is saved by fog.
Always easy to read it just feels like a book written by someone turning out five pages a day.
