"When a high-powered bullet hits living flesh, it makes a distinctive -pow-WHOP- sound that is unmistakable even at tremendous distance." And so it begins for Joe Pickett, a Wyoming game warden who, with the shot of a rifle, is thrust into a race to save not only an endangered species, but also the life and family he loves. C. J. Box knows the wilderness and he knows how to create a wonderfully authentic, vividly alive sense of place. He has created a memorable new hero: a man who is full of failings, but strong and honorable.

it's summer and I'm out of school, so have a lot more time to read, so I have finished a book for California: Cat Pay the Devil by Shirley Rousseau Murphy. My review is here.

Do you want me to keep leaving these? It feels like I'm doing too many.
Hi! I'm really having fun catching up on my reading! I've recently finished three books that fit this challenge. They are:

Rhett Butler's People Donald McCaig - South Carolina http://abookwormsreviews.blogspot.com/2008/07/rhett-butlers-people-by-donald-mccaig.html
