Fancy Hatch by Zachary Hawkes

Fancy Hatch
by Zachary Hawkes (Alan Riefe)
1984, Pinnacle


Fancy Hatch is on the trail of revenge for her beloved, finding employment as a deputy in small towns to use the resources of law enforcement to track the killer down.

Fancy solves a murder, foils a bank robbery, and sees her target stand trial in a sequence I completely skipped. Trial scenes are dull enough, mad much worse when the reader has first hand knowledge of the crime. Well written but light on the action, some shootouts resolving in a couple sentences. The obligatory three sex scenes were so badly done either someone edited those in or Riefe wrote them absurd purpose out of protest. I got the sense he'd rather be writing a Hec Ramsey style Western procedural than a proper Adult Western.
