Before Yates can find the murderer, this killer strikes again.
Reviews
[edit]Ed Godfrey, in a review in The Oklahoman, liked Texas Ranger, saying, "If you like your murder mysteries with an Old West feel, Texas Ranger is worth your time."[3] Chris Gray, in a review in The Houston Chronicle, only somewhat liked this novel.[4] In a story in The Dallas Morning News, author James Patterson talked about this book and why he wrote it. Patterson said, "I haven't written about the area too much, but I enjoyed doing this because it was different. I like to challenge myself and get into a territory where I haven't spent much time as a storyteller."[5] In October 2018 Variety reported that CBS was basing a drama series on Patterson's novel.[6]
