        "All the Dead Shall Weep" by Charlaine Harris   
        From Saga Press a Simon and Shuster imprint copyright 2023   
        Sold then at $28.99.  I got this copy at the SFPL where I have   
        gotten all the rest of the series and if you have not read the   
        earlier books in the series you are missing a treat. Also there   
        are maps in the earlier books about arrangements of political   
        power.   
        This the 5th Book in the epic of Lizbeth Rose the  gunnie in a story   
        happening about the 1930s in a strange political arrangement   
        of North America. The USA has disintegrated from the Union with   
        Dixie taking itself away, William Randoph Hearst invited the deposed   
        and exiled Tsar and his court to California and now the capital of the   
        Holy Russian Empire is in San Diego. Lisbeth lives in Texhoma in a   
        small town Segundo Mexia.  She makes her living as a hired gun to   
        protect travelers and shipments.  Bandits are all over the place and   
        Indians are at hand but not attacking generally. Militias are stirring   
        though and Lizbeth and her half-Sister Felicai have just been reunited   
        along with Peter, the brother of her husband Eli. Then the strange   
        militia attacks Segundo Mexia.  It takes some time but they are looking   
        for wizards, Peter and Eli (both wizards called grigori) follow   
   them ...   
        Felicia, a death wizard, and Lizbet follow them.  Quite a lot happens   
        as might be expected in a Harris book.

   	Not secret is the fact that like all the other books by Charlaine Harris   
        I enjoyed this very much.
