Review 1: Back of Beyond audiobook by Martin Pratt
A superb book. Many of Mr Box’s output centre around his character Joe Pickett, this book is one of only a few ‘stand alone’ novels that he has written.
I really enjoyed this, i usually read in the evenings but found myself sneaking off to read during the day too, such was its attraction.
It centres around Cody Hoyt, alcoholic detective battling a lot of demons. He is called to investigate reports of a body amongst a burnt down cabin and, because he knew the deceased and refuses to accept the obvious evidence that it was a tragic accident, starts of a trail of discovery and wilful disobedience, resulting in his suspension.
The other view point is from a group of adventurers who have paid to go on a ‘once in a lifetime’ adventure with Jed McCarthy, off the radar (hence Back of Beyond) through remote parts of Yellowstone park. With participants ranging from teenagers to more mature adventurers, tensions rise and the carefully planned trip soon goes wrong.
Cody is on their trail, partly as he suspects the arsonist is in the party but mainly because his son by his ex wife has joined the trip with his soon to be step father for a bonding holiday and is potentially endangered.
All in all, the pace is excellent with enough twists to keep the reader on edge.
Review 2: Back of Beyond audiobook by Simonics
Great read. Well-written. Well put together. Easy to get into and go with the flow of the writer’s style from the first few pages. Couldn’t put it down. Characters well written, some very interesting, eg Jed the head of wilderness adventures, and his thought processes dealing with the group. Clearly research into police work and the outdoors went into this. I love outdoors books like the Nicolas Evans books (Horse Whisperer, Smoke jumpers, The Loop), so this was just up my street being set in Yellowstone. Very readable style – doesnt get bogged down in detail, but provides enough to be of interest, or move the scenes and story along. Has you guessing along the way. Really enjoyed it.
Review 3: Back of Beyond audiobook by F. M. Stockdale
Well, I found this book extremely exciting and interesting.
More to the point, I don’t often feel that a 370 page thriller is too short! I had to stop several times to do something else to string out my enjoyment of the deftly handled plots.
After the final shoot-out, I did feel that the loose strands of the story were dealt with in rather a hurry – there’s quite a comical moment when the hero asks if those listening have heard enough, when actually really the only person speaking is himself! Maybe the author was being hassled to deliver the manuscript?
No matter. This is a very enjoyable page-turner. I think one secret of its success may be that CJB creates a number of attractive likeable characters (whatever their incidental faults) with the result that you do care. I haven’t read any of his other books yet, but in that regard he reminds me of the great Michael Connelly.
