Under Pressure: An Underwater InvestigationUnder Pressure: An Underwater Investigation by Kathy Brandt
Buy used from: $2.90
As a scuba diver, I love the Kathy Brandt stories, although there have been a few moments that her characters were darn lucky not to get the bends! (I was holding my breath, too!) I appreciate the little tropical vacations Brandt takes me on.
Borderline (Anna Pigeon)Borderline (Anna Pigeon) by Nevada Barr
Buy new: $27.96 / Used from: $24.95
Nobody beats Nevada Barr for describing the outdoor scenery of our national parks; I'm always right there with her character, Anna Pigeon, dodging bullets, and in this case, trying to keep a newborn baby alive in the wilds of Texas.
Open Season (A Joe Pickett Novel)Open Season (A Joe Pickett Novel) by C. J. Box
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.91
C.J. Box's writing is as realistic as it gets. His characters are three-dimensional and complicated, no cardboard cutouts. While I hunt wildlife only with my camera, I'm glad that there are people out there like Box's Joe Picket character, enforcing our hunting and fishing laws.

Border SongsBorder Songs by Jim Lynch
Buy new: $17.13 / Used from: $15.74
This is a fascinating book, full of quirky characters and everyday dramas taking place on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border along Washington state. Lynch skillfully interweaves natural scenery and birdlife, dairy farmers and marijuana growers, human smugglers and artists... It's rare for a publisher to take on a book like this that cannot be classified, but I'm so glad this publisher did.
