twists. Doiron keeps getting better.

I was thinking of making a game warden mystery list, Joe Pickett et al, and why they make good stories. American archetype?

Also read Mike Lawson/House Odds and House Rivals. Harder to enjoy ‘political’ books without grinding my teeth.

Top of list is Percival Everett’s Trees. Haunting. Not much to say. Except read this book.
