This is one of those novels that are unputdownable! Full of action, tension, and suspense, I read this one basically in two sittings over two days. I'm a big fan of C.J. Box and have read all of his novels including the Joe Pickett series and the Highway Quartet. I would put Blue Heaven near the top of the heap.
Two young children, 12-year old Annie, and her younger brother William set out on an unannounced fishing trip after school mainly because Annie is upset with her mother. While in the woods, they witness a murder by three men, one of which sees Annie. The men pursue the children through the woods but luckily the kids are able to elude the men...at least temporarily. Turns out the men are ex-policemen who were involved in a multi-million dollar heist several years earlier and had come to Northern Idaho to use the money to live a life of luxury. The men are able to persuade the local sheriff to let them lead the search for the missing children. But a local rancher named Rawlins gets involved when he finds the kids hiding in his barn. The ex-cops play a game of cat and mouse with the town, especially the local sheriff, as they try to find the children and put an end to what they may tell the authorities. Can Rawlins ensure that justice is done?
