Don't really know why this is sold as a western. Must be the town where it took place. It is a mystery through and through. People are being killed in the town of Clantick, Montana. All different kinds of people. So old, some young, a soldier, both men and women. There has to be a connection. Sheriff Ben Stillman and his deputy, Leon McMannigle try to figure it all out. It is left up to a woman to make the connection, then Ben knows who the killer is. Not bad for a mystery, real bad for a western. I was surprised at the end result. For a western writer Beandvold has done a flip flop.Product details

Good
This book has a Montana sheriff after a killer in a small cowtown. The characters ride horses, gamble in the town's saloon, cuss, smoke "quirleys" and visit "soiled doves." But aside from that the story takes on a different genre from the traditional Western. That's because Sheriff Ben Stillman takes on a different type of killer. "Bar fights, spontaneous shootings, horse thieves, cattle rustlers, and bank robbers he could handle," the book explains. Those cases had plenty of witnesses. "All Stillman had had to do was walk up, remove the smoking gun from the killers' hands, and throw the culprits in the hoosegow." This time the killer leaves no trails - no witnesses, no motive. Author Peter Brandvold spotlights one character after another; Stillman's African-American deputy, local cowboys, soldiers, the town blacksmith, the Chinese restaurant owner, a wife-abusing farmer, showing each as the possible killer. The plot thickens as one after another murder takes place and the sheriff's job comes into jeopardy. In the process Brandvold tells the story of the West the way it was, from the brothels and bars to faithful marriages (including the sheriff's). Through it all he spins a good tale, revealing just enough clues as he goes to keep your interest. You might say this is a Western murder mystery. This is the first Brandvold book I've read, but hopefully not the last. His style is direct, clear, and compelling, qualities found in all the best authors.
"Once a Lawman" is the 3rd Ben Stillman Western by Peter Brandvold who I think is one of the finest Western writers working today. Ben Stillman is the sheriff of Clantick in the Montana territory. There seems to be a serial killer in Clantick. A prostitute, a farmer, an old woman, and an army sergeant are murdered in the same fashion. There throats were slit with a knife. Ben, with the help of Leon McMannigle, search for a connection among the victims. Time is of the essence because the next victim will be someone very close to Ben. There is a subplot involving Ben's wife Fay. She is a school teacher, and one of her student's father drinks and doesn't want his daughter to go to school. As one reviewer has already written, this novel is more mystery that Western, but I think it is a very good and entertaining book.
Not specifically the type of western novel that appeals to me. But this is just about my taste - others may find it OK
This was for my husband, the first time he has read Peter Brandvold and he really liked him.
I really like the Ben Stillman character. I have read 7 of these books so far and like each one. The only problem and it's a biggy is the editing or should I say lack of. Some of the words are so garbled I couldn't even begin to guess what they were supposed to be. I find this problem in too many e-books. I would think spellcheck should help!
Another good read about this old lawman, from a top writer.
