Mark R. (strato-reader) reviewed on 3/11/2013 + 49 more book reviews

First outing with C.J. Box. He brought several good ingredients together to make this a very satisfying book. Our main man Joe is high virtue, but still a full fledged regular guy. He loves his family, but he's not going for modern dad-of-the-year. There's lots of nature appreciation, but there is more bad guy activity. Realistically raw language so we remember these are real men and not oversized Boy Scouts. He also wrote the relationships among the characters with nuance and wry understanding.

I'm already onto his next book.
