Enjoyable Elmore Leonard western.  Slightly above average on the Leonard westerns I've read so far -- the absolute best being Forty Lashes Less One.

Was surprised at how much I liked this one.  Each time a story broke off I wanted more and was disappointed with the new story, until I got so into it that the effect repeated.

Ending was decent, not sure how else it could have been handled.  But overall this was extremely enjoyable.
