Another entry for C J Box in my top thirty-one of 2011.
Savage Run by C.J. Box
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the second Joe Pickett novel and the series is getting stronger.
The series is set in some amazing scenic backcountry, and Joe Pickett is a pleasantly flawed lead character. Unlike many flawed heroes in crime novels, Joe is just human. He's mucked up a few times, but he believes in what he does.
Although I enjoyed the story, there was an element of predictability about it, but not so much that the overall story suffered, I think I would just rather have known a little less about what was going on in the background and therefore the way the story unfolded would have been a little less obvious.
The strengths of this series; the backcountry and Joe Pickett mean that I'll be returning to it again soon, for the third instalment
