Sin Killer

Summary
Book #1 from the series: The Berrybender Narratives
🎧Listening Length = 7 hours and 38 minutes
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author who wrote Lonesome Dove comes an adventurous western! In the 1830s, headstrong Tasmin Berrybender and her aristocratic family set out into the Great Plains, where Tasmin will discover wild country — and a wild love. Read by an award-winning actor who narrates “with a zest that conveys both drama and human comedy” (AudioFile).
It is 1830, and the Berrybender family—rich, aristocratic, English, and hopelessly out of place—is on its way up the Missouri River to see the untamed West as it begins to open up. Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their home in England to broaden the horizons for themselves and their three children. With irascible determination—and a great deal of outright chaos—the party experiences both the awesome majesty and brutal savagery of the unexplored land, from buffalo stampedes and natural disasters to Indian raids and encounters with frontiersmen and trappers, explorers, pioneers, and one part-time preacher known as "the Sin Killer." Sin Killer, the strong, silent Westerner, captures the heart of the strong-willed, beautiful Berrybender daughter, Tasmin. But their fast developing relationship can only bring more trouble for the Berrybender's.
Packed with breathtaking adventure, charming romance, and a sense of humor stretching clear over the horizon, Sin Killer is a truly unique view of the West that could only come from the boundless skill and imagination of Larry McMurtry.
