Book Review: Free Fire, C.J. Box

I picked this book in my local book shop, not having read anything by this author before. It took a couple of attempts before I was hooked, but once the main character, Joe Pickett, had travelled to YellowStone Park and begun his investigations, I really enjoyed it. The character breaks the mold for this kind of thriller: he isn’t particularly violent (and admits to being rubbish with a weapon) – that side of things is left to his side-kick, Nate); he doesn’t seem all that sure of himself (unlike Jack Reacher or John Corey). He is determined though and the beautiful setting of the main action made this an enjoyable read.
