This is the first book by Russell I've read since The Sparrow and Children of God, which I loved. Her writing is witty and on-point as in the other books, but the topic just wasn't as interesting. The book details Doc Holliday's life until just before he and the Earps leave for Tombstone but I think there's a reason other accounts tend to focus on the events at Tombstone; they're just more interesting than anything that happens in the course of this novel. If you want a detailed backstory for those characters then I would certainly recommend this book. Otherwise I would probably try something else.
