My thoughts...

Utopia, Texas was a fast paced and strikingly authentic... the twists and turns will keep you guessing what will happen next and you'll never believe how it ends... Glasscock III has it all - suspenseful plot, magnificent scenery, and a hero who is tough but truly connected to his family.

For those who enjoy reading books authored by C. J. Box and William Kent Krueger will definitely enjoy reading Utopia, Texas. Don't walk run to your computer and download this fantastic read to your kindle while it's still 99 cents. It's a great bargain and it's so good that the author may decide to increase the price soon.

Happy reading ( )

Dr. Monty Kilpatrick’s life changed the day his ten-year-old son drowned. Now, he and his wife live in the tiny town of Utopia, Texas while he works as the local game warden. Now, suddenly his life and town are experiencing dramatic changes, and Kilpatrick will need every bit of knowledge he learned in the military to survive. This once peaceful area now has poachers, contract killers, and drug battles to contend with, all the while trying to keep the people he cares about safe.

As a resident of West Texas, I greatly enjoyed the descriptions of the settings and the people of the area. The action helped drive the story, as Kilpatrick attempts to live a solid life, while pulled by the death of his son and his attraction to another woman. The story is solid and the characters, interesting, while the action keeps everything moving at a good pace. I would recommend this to people who mystery/action backed up with believable characters.
