Hell Is Empty by Craig Johnson
5.0
This was one of the best books in the series I think. It was one of the episodes on the TV show but the book was slightly different so it felt like a new story to me. A group of convicted killers were being transported by the Sheriff and meeting the FBI because one of them said he could take them to the location of a body he buried. As you can guess, things go awry. They escape and Walt is tromping through the mountains in a blizzard trying to catch them and rescue the hostages.
"Life is like that. You collect things are you go--the things you think are important--and soon they weigh you down until you realize that these things you cared so much about mean nothing at all. Our natures are our natures. And they are all we are left with. [pg 217]"
The book is a fast read and the writing is always great. You get sucked into the story and then all of a sudden it feels like you are reading beautiful poetry because the writing just becomes so wonderful. It also weaves in some mysticism without being goofy or unbelievable. Great read!
