Catawampus Christmas Carol (Deadwood Undertaker Series) Kindle Edition

by Ann Charles (Author), Sam Lucky (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 276 ratings
*Catawampus (adj.): 1.) Fierce, savage 2.) Askew, awry It’s a cold and snowy Christmas Eve in the rowdy mining town of Deadwood in the Dakota Territory. Rather than enjoy some drinks in front of a warm fire with her friends, contracted Slayer Clementine Johanssen has her horse saddled and weapons packed to head out into the hills and hunt down some deadly scallywags—alone. When her friends catch wind of her intentions, they set out to waylay her long enough to change her way of thinking … in spite of her mule-headedness. Reminiscent of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, this catawampus tale will add a heartening dose of fun and camaraderie to your holiday! Note: This is book 3.5 of the Deadwood Undertaker Series *(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Christmas story!

    Are you like me and like things that are a bit unusual? A little off the wall? Well, I've got the perfect Christmas story for you!

    Catawampus Christmas Carol is not your ordinary holiday read but it was such a fun treat. Reading a book set in the old west of Deadwood and centering around an executioner sounds like the perfect way to spend the days before Christmas, don't you think? It really is a fun, feel-good story that will have you laughing out loud at the character's shenanigan's.

    I love Ann Charles and her Deadwood mystery series! And I love these new wacky characters that she and Sam Lucky have introduced us to in this Undertaker series. Each book just gets better and better.

    And I'll leave you with one last, very important word - Prudence! 😉 💕

    Very western Christmas. The paranormal was very subtle.
    Teaching a bah-humbug slayer is not for slow minded, but these amigos are up to the task.
    With a little wispy help! How very Christmas Carol. They demonstrate what is Christmas is about - giving and celebrating with friends. Giving sometimes comes involves violence but only to those who are showing ill intent.
    Ann and Sam, this was filled with laughter and tears. Last count was 12 tissues.
    Warning: don't start late at night as I did, as I am writing this at nearly 9:00 am. Start with plenty of time as you will not want to put it down.

    My timing was perfect! I read this directly after finishing book 3, “Long Way from Ordinary”, during Christmas time. However, this is a perfect segue to the next book in the Undertaker series. It really further develops the characters while keeping with the witty theme and banter as Ann and Sam always do. I believe it’s ol’ Hank who’s stolen my heart.

    I am a big fan of Ann Charles and Sam Lucky's books. This is another super fun book. I love that they write "shorts" around their main story line books. Their characters are colorful and full of personality. I just love their work.

    This is one of the most wonderful Christmas stories I've read. Even though back in the wild west days it has enough interesting things happening to different people to make it worth reading. Young girls going home, little boys sickness healed, so on and so on. Loved it.

    I loved this book so much. My only regret is that I read it after Christmas. This year I will read it again before Christmas as a sure fire way of getting into the Christmas spirit. Tugged at the heart strings.
