Book Review By Lucy Johnson
Kilkenny by Louis L'Amour

Kilkenny was a name known throughout the west but the man who held it wanted to be rid of it. It only brought trouble and he just wanted to be left alone. So Kilkenny sought out a lonely place in the Colorado range to start a place of his own. But before knew it, Jared Tetlow was after his range and the range of Nita Riordan, the love of Kilkenny's life. When Tetlow discovered that Kilkenny was also responsible for the death of his son, he would stop at nothing to bring Kilkenny down.
