Open Season C J Box

May 20, 2019 by Kevin Scott Olson Leave a Comment

 

I was recently introduced to the writing of C.J. Box after hearing an interview with him on the Hugh Hewitt radio show. Since then I have read Endangered, Blue Heaven, and now Open Season, the first novel in the ongoing Joe Pickett series.

These are crime novels, set in states such as Wyoming and Montana. They revolve around ordinary people becoming involved in extraordinary situations. In the Joe Pickett series, Joe is a game warden, married, with three daughters, a unique and creative choice for a protagonist.

C. J. Box is a first-rate writer. His characters come alive with superb detail and description, and the background settings of the flora and fauna of the states can be hauntingly beautiful. The plots confront head-on both the inspiring and the dark side of human nature.

All of the novels have been an enjoyable and compelling read. I look forward to reading more!
