#2: Savage Run by C.J. Box. Second book in the Joe Pickett series, and my last. If possible, the “hero” was even more stupid than in the first book. His failings don’t make him more human or more relatable, they just make me roll my eyes. The only reason he survives is that one of the villains has a conscience, and a blind, lucky shot. Not skill, no thinking involved, just dumb luck. That might have worked if the book had been better written, but if I’d had a physical copy vs. on my iPad, I would have thrown it in the trash rather than store it on a bookshelf or give it away. Moving on.
(And thanks; good to be back.)
