Big Sky: Entertaining, Modern Sheriff COUNTRY CRIME THRILLER with Clean Language and Fast-Paced Action (The BIG SKY Series Action Thriller Books - Short Reads Fiction Book 1) Kindle Edition

Perfect for those who love crime thrillers with a good and decent main character — noble friends — action — clean language — no graphic sex — a little romance — and an undertone of faith from a Christian worldview.

Investigating an assault on a young woman, a Montana county sheriff uncovers a more heinous wrongdoing, proving once more that the coverup is often worse than the crime.

45-year-old Big Sky County Sheriff Wade Lockhart is called to a seedy motel, where a woman was found unconscious and bleeding from the head. His only clues to solving the crime are...

Early morning vacuuming.

Two men getting into a pickup truck.

Not much to go on.

But a call from one of his deputies sends Lockhart to a local bar and ultimately to the doorstep of his long-time nemesis, a man who's also a well-known and powerful Big Sky County commissioner.

Entertaining crime thriller — in a modern-day country setting — featuring a no-nonsense sheriff, beautiful scenery, and fast-paced action.

A big-time fan of thrillers (books and movies) for over 40 years, Alex Ander writes globe-trekking action thrillers packed with fistfights, gunfights, and heart-pounding excitement and adventure.

Alex has written more than 20 books in the military/law enforcement genre. And as an avid gun enthusiast, he cringes right along with you when a magazine is called a “clip.” That’s why you can always trust him to get the firearm terminology correct.

Currently, Alex has produced five different series with main characters from the U.S. Marines, Army Rangers, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, and the CIA’s Special Operations Group.

Living in Michigan with his wife, Alex spends some of his spare time painting landscapes, playing the harmonica, reading books, and watching action thrillers.

Weirdly overly detailed character introductions. An average story to tell. Kinda goofy ending. Reveal your characters through their interactions and gradual revelations. I don't really need to know what size hat they wear or what color belt they have on. A hint is sufficient. Allow the readers imagination to flesh out details. Also seemed like a short story. Waffled between a 3 star and 4 star rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great idea for a new series
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
This is so different from Alex Ander’s Aaron Hardy series but it’s still great reading. I really like the story and the characters are realistic. It has plenty of action and the insights into the characters personal lives make it easy to connect to them. I believe this can be a good direction for a new series. The only downside is it was too short! I would love to read a second book that is longer.

I really enjoy the Longmire series and this book was compared to them, so I gave it a try. Did not think this book compared at all to the stories of Longmire.

Besides the annoying over use of adjectives, when I got to page 21 this got me. "Chance faced his customer, his eyes quickly taking in the roughneck's goatee and long beard....." A goatee is a short pointed beard, so you can't also have a long beard. I plugged away a few more pages, but too much literary testerone for me.

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023
I really liked this story. It was short and I read it in one sitting. I especially like the relationship between Sierra and her dog, Ranger. Compelling story, action and romance. What's not to like! I hope this will become a series.
