About this listen

 From Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry comes the first in a four-volume epic journey through the early American frontier, featuring the Berrybender family, English nobility adrift in the American West in the 1830s.

It is 1830, and the Berrybender family—rich, aristocratic, English, and hopelessly out of place—is on its way up the Missouri River to see the untamed West as it begins to open up. Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their home in England to broaden the horizons for themselves and their three children. With irascible determination—and a great deal of outright chaos—the party experiences both the awesome majesty and brutal savagery of the unexplored land, from buffalo stampedes and natural disasters to Indian raids and encounters with frontiersmen and trappers, explorers, pioneers, and one part-time preacher known as "the Sin Killer." Sin Killer, the strong, silent Westerner, captures the heart of the strong-willed, beautiful Berrybender daughter, Tasmin. But their fast developing relationship can only bring more trouble for the Berrybender's.

Packed with breathtaking adventure, charming romance, and a sense of humor stretching clear over the horizon, Sin Killer is a truly unique view of the West that could only come from the boundless skill and imagination of Larry McMurtry.©2002 Larry McMurty.

This surreal, bawdy, rumbuctious tale is so full of characterful vim and vigour – and sheer writerly excellence – you won’t be the same person who started it, afterwards.

Alfred Molina’s narration (and characters’ voices) is amazing! Perfect!

cracking Western in an unusual style. brilliant narration, an American who's understanding of different British accents was superb.
can't wait to hear the rest

Wonderful Stuff!

Fractious and absurd . Tristram Shandy on the Missouri ? Funny and bleak . Very unconventional western.
Unsentimental storyline, yields up a new romantic couple in Jim and Tasmin as well as a sprawling cast of characters. I think I'll stick with this unusual series.

Very unique Family Saga

Larry McMurty delivers his usual gripping revisionist take on the American colonial project. Funny, sad, brutal, bizarre all at the same time.

Total entertainment!

One of Mcmurtry's best, totally underrated. i think this one is even better than the Lonesome dove prequels.

The narrator does excellent accents on all the characters.
