When I am full of really good nonfiction or literary fiction I take a break by reading comfort books,  mysteries of lots of kinds. I enjoy procedurals, old fashioned who-done-its, thrillers, cozies, and true crime. I love getting my teeth into a series. I won’t read romances if I can help it. I usually read 1/3 crime books, 1/3 nonfiction and 1/3 literary fiction.  So here we are at #5 in the Joe Pickett series by C.J. Box.

(5th in Joe Pickett series) 

 Joe Pickett is working as a game warden for Wyoming and quietly taking care of family business when he gets word that his old friend Will Jensen is dead by his own hand. Joe is asked to cover for him temporarily as warden in the Jackson district.  It gets pretty wild with lots of plot threads and interesting characters.  

David Chandler does a wonderful job of narrating the whole series so far (to # 22).
