CJ Box is quickly becoming one of my favorite author's tied only with William Kent Krueger for having such a strong main character, and getting you to buy in along the way with the series. Joe Pickett, game warden of Saddlestring, WY is not without his faults, but always manages as an underdog to overcome, but not always without losses and mistakes-this is a craft that makes CJ Box and his writing so believable! Box also as with the first two I have read in the series, spins a tale that grabs hold and entwines you personally till you quickly find yourself lost in the story. You also become a part of his family as you feel the challenges they face with weather, everyday life, and Pickett's challenge of being a game warden in the frigid Wyoming wilderness. Being a former hunter and a lover of Wyoming I enjoy each book as it makes you feel the beauty and hardships of the country. His characters are real and come to life with some flare. Each book makes me sad to come to the ending, but honestly I simply can't wait to get to the next one in the series. Bravo CJ Box, and again Joe Pickett has become my hero I look up to between the covers!
