Oklahoma wildlife photographer, Jim Cutter, had nothing more in mind than getting a decent image of a hungry coyote. Instead, a different kind of predator, a hired killer, appeared in his viewfinder; and a cold-blooded murder was captured in startling color on a digital memory card.
Even though the photographer was well-hidden, his pickup was not. When the killer spotted the vehicle, he correctly assumed he had a witness and began searching the area. Cutter suddenly became the prey and like the animals he photographed, was forced to use the tall grasses of the wildlife refuge to evade the vicious hunter. Finally, sure the killer had driven away, Cutter returned to his truck only to find one of his own business cards tucked under the windshield wiper with a chilling message scrawled on the C U L 8 R.
At first I was disappointed in the writing but as I read further into the book I decided I had been to critical of his story line. I ended up liking the story and his characters.
This is a novel that has a little bit for everyone regardless of the genres they usually read. Being both a "nature nut" and an avid reader of crime novels, "No Refuge" kept me interested throughout the book. Mr Williams has a smooth an easy style when it comes to telling a great story. I look forward to reading more of his novels.
I am looking foward to reading his next two novels. I thought his writing was good. I enjoyed the story line. The drawback was that it was too predictable. We have read different versions of this story before. But that will not discourage me from reading this author again.
No Refuge is Warren Williams first book. As a first book, this is a fantastic mystery. It is filled with action and packed with suspense. I recommend this book as a thrilling read. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Really great book. Some spelling and grammatical errors but overall a great read. I hope to get to read more of the books involving the sheriff. Would be nice to know if Linda and Jim did get married.
This book started out with Jim a wildlife photographer witnessing a murder. Than from there it seemed to digress into the lives of the characters and a lot of banter. Just seemed to be so much content on the daily lives and fun and games rather than on solving the murder.
For a debut novel, it moves along well, with lots of action and suspense. Interesting storyline and characters. A little predictable, but worth the read.
