C.J. Box. PARADISE VALLEY. Minotaur, 2017.
A gift from a friend, a first for me by this writer. I am first attracted to the setting--North Dakota, along the Missouri River, to Montana, and Yellowstone. All places that are familiar to me, and places I am happy to re-visit. Also attracted to the female lead--Callie, a sheriff after a trucker serial killer. The "office politics" and especially the way American law enforcement is impacted by electoral politics, is also familiar and frightening. Callie as a mother, and the extra concern she feels for two missing boys adds to the story which is basically plot. And I would also say, plot-driven. I would read more Box if it were to find me.
