    About this audiobook

    From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry comes the final book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy—an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism, Streets of Laredo is classic Texas and Western literature at its finest.

    Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena—once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

      Once again he's set up a story where numerous people are on each other's trail through Texas and Mexico. A couple of them are psychopaths.

      This is the perfect ending to the Lonesome Dove series, though I still want to know what happens next to the wonderfully drawn characters. Life is hard in the old west. Some people make it, some people don't and you never know who will or won't or why it happens. No body writes it better than Larry McMurtry.

      Very grim, violent book. Sequel to Lonesome Dove. Lacks humor of that book.

      Good story. Good narration. I really enjoyed the detailed story.
    • 4/5
      Typically well written and interesting. Nice to see a wrap up of the tale, although it is a little too period correct to be happy. Recomend it if you have read the others, but not as a stand alone read.
    • 3/5
      This is Larry McMurtry's follow-up to his wonderful book, Lonesome Dove. This book is much slower to get started than the first, and not as satisfying in the end. A good book for a week at the beach, though, which it was for me.
    • 3/5
      Having finished the other books in McMurtry's tetraology, I was anxious to read this, the final book. However, I was a bit disappointed at finding Woodrow Call a broken man. I would have much preferred, even if naive, to have let him remain the strong, undaunting hero of the previous books. Without Gus with which to interact, the book seemed a bit flat, but still a good read.
    • 5/5
      Damn good series! This not quite as good as Lonesome Dove but worth the read. Narration is fantastic as well.
    • 3/5
      A so-so ending to an amazing series. If you have made it this far in the Lonesome Dove series, don't stop, keep going...Not as good as the others, but still a good ending to Captain Cal's story.
