Too Far Down by Mary Connealy -- my REVIEW

Too Far Down by Mary Connealy is a third book in The Cimarron Legacy series, a book about a western family in the 1880's.  I have read the first two books in the series, so I wanted to read this one as well to kind of wrap up the series.  

The Boden family is still being plagued by some unknown enemy (the same that has been after them before?  They don't know.)  This time it is the mining operations owned by the family.  The parents are far far away, waiting for the father's leg to heal, and the (grown) children are living at the ranch in response to a requirement by their father.  

The book begins with a series of explosions at the mine, which is a part of the family properties, and is managed by the oldest son, Cole. Several men are injured, and some killed.  Cole and his brother, sister, and other family connections begin trying to figure out who/what/why of this tragedy--while trying to keep safe and alive. 

Mel, the daughter of the nearby rancher (who essentially grew up with the Boden family) takes an active role in the investigation.  

Basically it's a story of their trying to find out who/what is the threat . . .and meanwhile a love story comes about as well.  

I had read the previous two books, and that made it easier to follow the story.  For whatever reason, however, I kind of felt like, alright all ready--- enough.  I can't quite put my finger on it, I usually really love series, but this one just. . .not.  

It IS a clean book, a bit of romance and a bit of battle, so there's that going for it.  It's just not a favorite of mine.  Funny, I went back and read my review of book two (here) and I guess I didn't love that one either :)  Well, that should teach me...if I don't like book #2, I might not like #3!  Who knows, though, maybe you'll love it!  It has a lot of great reviews from others!
