finished Blue Heaven from C.J. Box, great story. And I think I've found my new go-to story-teller when the mail is slow. Have a few on order, used stuff, not available on kindle...Jerusalem, one of them I think, don't recall the writer's name and something else...Dalkey Archive stuff. So I'd ordered Blue Heaven and read it in a couple days...great story like I said...and got another now from him, Open Season, his Joe Pickett #1. I'd read #16? whatever number it is, Off the Grid, the first from him. Has a terrorist element to it with a twist. Funny thing is, I'd ordered both stories without really looking at a story description...the first based on a friend's recommendation, good enough for me, this second, Blue Heaven, I'd chosen because it's not a part of a series. Nothing wrong with a series but I wanted to try a stand alone.
And I only read a bit of story description. 'Bout 70% into the story I look at a couple three four reviews at Goodreads, 1-star reviews. Most of them said the book had profanity, maybe one reviewer used the word "laced"...nice oxymoron maybe extended like. I'm thinking, what profanity? I hadn't read any profanity. Heh! But kindle, and that handy search function, so this morning or was it last night I look for f-bombs. Hey, whuddaya know, there's f-bombs! I look some more and sure enough, the 3rd is broken...commandment, for those unaffiliated. Crazy thing is I was ready to swear up and down no pun intended if that is a pun I don't know...but I was ready to argue there was no profanity. I'd read right over it. Go figure.
Anyway, C.J. Box. Check him out, some good stuff, not flawless but who is?
