The Midwest Review of Books says: “Scoundrel in the Thick is a historical novel set in 1882 Colorado, where former Civil War hero Thomas Scoundrel sets out on a mission to rescue his best friend's kidnapped fiancée. B.R. O'Hagan adds plenty of real characters and historical events to further spice the tale as Scoundrel partners with Bat Masterson, encounters old friend Buffalo Bill Cody, and interacts with famous literary figures during the course of what can only be described as a rollicking ride through the icons and images of America's past.Scoundrel in the Thick represents historical novel writing at its best. O’Hagan excels in both recreating this period of time and its famous personalities. With its blend of fictional and real events and attention to strong character development, it's a story that will captivate even those who may have little prior knowledge of these times. Historical fiction library collections will find this book a worthy addition." D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
