After loving various books from Preston and Child and wanting more, I decided giving this highly rated C.J. Box series a try.
I was immensely disappointed.
I found most of the characters, including Joe the protagonist, very bland. Not unlikable, but just boring. There were little to no thrills in the entire book. I kept waiting and waiting but nothing ever happened, enough so that throughout my read I often considered I was mistaken in thinking this was actually labeled a thriller.
