Open Season (Joe Pickett #1) by C.J. Box - A review
I was introduced to the writing of C.J. Box through my local library's Mystery Book Club. Open Season , the first in Box's Joe Pickett series, was the club's selection for reading in June. Although I didn't get a chance to read it in time for the meeting, the discussion of it made me curious and I put it on my to-be-read list. I'm glad I finally got around to it this week. Box has created an enormously appealing character in Joe Pickett. A Wyoming game warden, Joe is a devoted family man with two young daughters and a pregnant wife when we first meet him. He and his family are able to barely scrape by financially on the meager salary of a state employee (Been there, done that!) , but Joe is a happy man, because he's living his dream. Being a game warden was what he always wanted to be. Not only Joe but his whole family are lovingly drawn by Box. We get to know them well and to like them and want them not just to endure but to triumph. Seven-year-old Sherid

DeleteIndeed!
DeleteYou sure have had a long run of hot temps. How is your hamstring doing?
ReplyDeleteMending slowly. Unfortunately, when I started doing better, I went out to try to do some things in my garden and twisted the knee on the same leg, but after a cortisone shot, that, too, is mending. If it ain't one thing, it's another!
DeleteOh boy, I hear you!
