Mister Slaughter

This might be my favorite of the Corbett series so far. It's a bit shorter than the first two and has more action. The mystery, however, is limited. I like that McCammon had Corbett reinvolved with Native American culture and that he struggles to accomplish anything alone. This novel reaffirms the idea that intellect along is not enough. Physical prowess isn't enough. We need to work with and trust in others to reach the best ends. I'm wondering if Corbett will tell his "family" about the blood card in the next novel. While it seemed inevitable after the last novel, I loved how McCammon intertwined the hunt with the Professor Fell storyline. It was nice to see how the sausage, Slaughter, and Fell are all connected. I'm looking forward to The Providence Rider.
