BELOW ZERO by CJ Box ****

Pretty good library reading. Fast paced, you learn to care about most of the characters but the whole thing with Joe Pickett is a series and it's probably best to start at the beginning which I didn't. So you get stuff you're not sure when it happened or how or why. I'm not a big fan of series and referring back but he really doesn't do much referring back so it's ok to start in the middle and go in either direction.
This was about some previous step daughter they're chasing who was kidnapped by some lunatics. One is a "mafia" guy the other his son who pretends he's helping clean up the planet by killing people using too high a carbon footprint. Kinda a weird basis for a book but such is the way of the world.
I thought it was too sappy in some parts, the killers were too mean, nasty and the lead character sends other people out to do stuff taking a back seat to most of the action. My take. It was ok.
