I’m enjoying the Joe Pickett series more and more and this is the best so far. It starts out in a snow storm just before Christmas when Joe is called to the scene of a murder where another forestry employee has been shot to death … with arrows.

(#3 in Joe Pickett series)
I really got to know Joe and his family better this time. There were several very interesting characters in this one and a couple of them stay for the series.
There’s a very anti-government bunch of people who set up camp in Joe’s part of Wyoming. Joe’s mother-in-law is staying with the family while her new husband is going on trial. Joe and his wife have had a foster daughter living with them for 4 years and her mother decides suddenly to take her back.
The story has some pretty graphic violence and Joe is definitely shown to be one of the “good” guys. I’ll be following this series but not in any big rush.

Thanks for your review! I read another book by C J Box (Back of Beyond) and thought it was good, but that one isn’t part of the Joe Pickett series. How do you like the audiobook format?

Oh dear I missed this! Oh I’ll answer it now – better late than never and besides someone else might like to know. I listen to a LOT of books – about 12 a month I think. I love Audible and the library both – but Audible has the selection. I’m not so young anymore and my eyesight is going so it’s very tiring to read normal print. Audio books are a godsend.
The Joe Pickett series is excellent in large part because David Chamberlain is reading them – also there are no technical glitches that I could tell.
