Query: Hoax

I agree with the reviewers who say this book was, well, a, hoax!! This is not the same writer, and not the same family I've enjoyed through the years. I've read every one of the Butch Karp books and never been disappointed until now. The writer romanticised the Taos area and naively portrayed the Taos Indians, Hispanics,and "anglos." There was very little of the usual action, and much dissertation about the American Southwest (inaccurate and naive, as I mentioned above), so that the story could have been written in 1/3 of the pages present.The family characters weren't nearly as piquant or alive as usual, and really behaved in ways that aren't consistent with any of the other books.I don't intend to read another by this "author."
