I actually haven't read THREE WEEKS TO SAY GOODBYE yet myself, but still felt that I picked up on plenty of Hoyt backstory that was apparent in BACK OF BEYOND, enough to get a good sense of the character.<br /><br />I love your comment about sense of mood - you're exactly right, that's what Box (and some of my favourite other crime writers) really do create, which elevates the books beyond the action and storyline.Kiwicraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687089028299093360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-47015318849487220542012-02-23T12:50:55.186+13:002012-02-23T12:50:55.186+13:00Craig - A great review, for which thanks.

Box has a real skill for creating a sense of mood and setting, and I think Cody Hoyt's a really interesting character. As you say, he creeps up on one. I found it helped to have read <i>Three Weeks to Say Goodbye</i> before this one, but it's certainly not necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
