Some stories have a main ingredient that changes everything else around it, and for The Buffalo Butcher, that ingredient is the choice to tell the story through the eyes of the women at risk rather than the men with authority. That single decision transforms what could have been a standard historical thriller into something much more nourishing.
Robert Brighton sets the story at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo — a world’s fair, a city buzzing with eight million visitors, and a killer who thinks the crowds give him cover. Five women who know how the world really works aren’t about to wait for someone else to fix it.
The historical detail is thick and well-seasoned — you can almost feel the summer heat. This one has real sustenance to it.
