Another Great ReadAaron Stander

I've written about Aaron before. In case you didn't catch it, he is a retired English professor, and we met at a QAJAQ training camp. I remember trying out the Yost designed SOF he had. We also spent some fine time guiding a trip at one of the symposiums. In any event, he gave me one of his books which I subsequently reviewed here. It was a great read.

Aaron wasn't at the training camp this year, but his wife mentioned that he had written another novel. Soon after arriving home, said book arrived in the mail. I avoided it for a few days because I know Aaron's style, and I knew I wouldn't be able to read just a few pages. I was right. I finally sat down with Deer Season and finished it in two sessions. It just reads so well that I was drawn into the story and turning pages with no awareness of time.

I won't go into the story. To say it is a murder mystery is to short change what it is all about. It is the setting, which Aaron knows well, and the character development which carries the reader along. I highly recommend the book and the others he has written. You might also want to check out his other books.
