We all have our favorite kinds of books and our favorite authors that we love to follow.  Well me, I have several authors that I love to read.  Granted they are all murder mysteries, but they all have their own style.  Patricia Cornwell has Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner in Virginia as her main character in most of her books and C.J. Box has Joe Pickett, a game warden in the state of Wyoming as his main character just to name a few.  Whether it is a series of books with a main character that is like a mini series of books or just a stand alone book, I enjoy them all.  I've read many Patricia Cornwell and although I have yet to read everyone of her books, my goal is to one day.

Currently I am reading a series by C.J. Box.  I'm not sure how I stumbled upon his books, but I am sure glad I did.  Like all good books, it pulls you in and won't let go.  There are a total of 11 books in his "Joe Pickett" series and I am currently on the 4th book, Trophy Hunt.  Like I said, Joe Pickett is a game warden for Twelve Sleep County, Wyoming.  He's help solve murders in the first three books and is currently trying to solve a mystery on why cows are being mutilated and left for dead.  I won't go in the gory details of how the cows are being mutilated, I guess you'll have to read it for yourself to find out, but don't forget, you will need to start with the first book, Open Season.
