Back of Beyond - Likewise Book Reviews

"This was even better than I was hoping for! I’m not a huge fan of the alcoholic divorced cop trope, and I haven’t read any CJ Box yet, so this was a big mystery (pun!) going into this. And honestly, the main reason I picked it up was that it was set in Yellowstone, which I where I spent the weekend. <br/><br/>But wow, was I on tenterhooks reading this! It was a well done mystery that blended traditional cop drama/investigation with other perspectives, and included what is fast becoming a favorite setting of mine: backcountry isolation. It’s almost like an extension of the locked room mystery, but instead the killer is in a specific camp group.<br/><br/>I definitely want to continue the series, and I might even go back and read Joe Pickett since I’ve heard great things! Plus, apparently Big Sky is based on this series, and I love a TV tie in."
