Working in a library gives me a fantastic opportunity to have book after book run through my hands every day. Heaven!!! Once in awhile, I come across a title that catches my eye and hit the jackpot. :-)
I have seen books by C.J. Box come across the counter before, but never picked one up. For some reason, Back of Beyond jumped out at me and after reading the jacket, I decided to give it a try. I was hooked from the first chapter. I quickly learned how flawed the main character was and I do love me some messed up characters!! It doesn't hurt that the setting is Yellowstone Park, a place I have visited many times while living in Idaho. As I read, I felt shades of Nevada Barr and John Sandford coming through. Two of my absolute favorite authors. I finished this book in just hours and hurriedly logged onto the library website to see what other books I could pick up by C.J. Box. Score!! There are two more stand alone books like this one and a series with soon to be eleven books featuring a Wyoming game warden and a lot of twists and turns.
Right now I brought home the two stand alone books, Blue Heaven and Three Weeks to Say Goodbye. then I'll dive into the series. Ahhhhhhhhh..... it is so nice to have a solid lineup of books to go to.
