One Too Many?

I couldn't give 5 stars to Paradise Valley, because I think that maybe the series should have stopped at three.  I don't know.  It just didn't hold my interest like the others.  Maybe that is because it was so far removed from Cody Hoyt and I just really seem to like male detectives more than female detectives! Again, my personal opinion, so remember, these aren't "reviews" as much as "how I felt." I am glad I read it though.  I found myself caring enough about the characters to want to see it through to the end.  And it was a satisfying end, indeed.

Badlands

This is the third in a series of four from C.J. Box and I read the first two a long, long time ago, but I still remembered them once I got started with Badlands.  The last book just came out and I will be buying it and listening to it as soon as I finish One for Sorrow, which I am loving.
I loved this book, I really did.  And I need to read more of Box because he is just so good at painting a picture and telling a story. Great stuff.

There's a Killer on the Road

Of course that blog title refers to the great song by The Doors.  The lyrics are quoted in The Highway by C.J. Box, a new author for me, recommended by Sharon!  You have to read Back of Beyond first!  She told me that and so I bought both of them on audible and blew right through them.  The Highway was so good that I had to skip to the end and work backward.  It was that nail-biting.  Cody Hoyt is the cowboy version of Schudder, a hard-drinking, hard-living detective.  The books are set in Montana.
