An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris

Harris created another beloved strong female character in Gunnie Lizbeth Rose. Gunnie Rose lives in a splintered landscape, that portrays the outcome of an alteration of historical events, where the Holy Russian Empire rules in California and Mexico has taken over much of the southern United States. As a gun for hire, Gunnie Rose may have undertaken a job with ramifications far outside her expectations: Russians, assassins, and danger at every turn. Eva Kaminsky’s narration gives depths to the desolate and fractured nature of Gunnie Rose’s environment; from Russian accents to fluent Spanish. Kaminsky easily navigates between characters, accents, and descriptions. Her unique pacing for Gunnie Rose truly exemplifies her personality and perception of others. In a world where people wish all Gunnies an easy death, will Gunnie Rose or her employers, survive? Fans of Tim Marquitz and Elizabeth Bear will love this fast paced, gritty, wild west thriller.
