Winterkill A Joe Pickett Novel C J Box 0071831006998 Books

Wyoming is a unique place. Sparsely populated in terms of humans, it terms with wildlife. Like many sparsely populated states, its people value their freedom, and the fact that they can generally rely on themselves instead of others.
It also has a reliably corrupt political system, in which honest politicians find themselves blindsided and isolated. Like several other western states, it serves as a punishment posting for a number of federal agencies.
All of these things are captured in Winterkill, complete with the damage that the conflict between right and wrong, and politics and reality, can cause.
To write as this author does requires a willingness to acknowledge that reality, even in a beautiful place like Wyoming, has warts. I admire that. To write what he does can even be a tiny bit dangerous. I admire that too.
Long live Joe Pickett.

Winterkill A Joe Pickett Novel C J Box 0071831006998 Books Reviews

C.J Box does it again great book interesting cast of characters. I was wondering when Nate Romanowski would appear in these books and was not disappointed with his introduction and the fleshing out of his character. The Joe Pickett series is a must buy for me.
One sentence late in the book explains the title so well. The cold is a character as is the snow. Joe discovers something horribly awful in the snow; this first awfulness leads to many more. The setting, so pristine. What happens in it, so dirty. Joe, a good man, is so tempted not to be. He questions himself. He feels, a failure. Box doesn't disappoint.
Warning animals are tortured

This gripping stand-alone is easy to follow yet difficult to read due to emotions evoked. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Descriptive writing that draws the reader both emotionally and physically into each scene. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking, memorable and snarky dialogue.

I will re-read this story and always look forward to works by this author.
I love Joe Pickett and his family and his adventures. I have read all of these books having borrowed them through the library. I purchased the first 3 to keep forever and read on my and will probably get all of them. They are real people with real lives and all the characters are interesting, including all the mountain people. Joe is such a stand up guy, a real man, with love of the mountains, wildlife, and for his family and he is always trying to do the right thing. He is not a superhero or an accomplished marksmen who never misses, he is just a guy trying to do his job and keep his family secure and safe, sometimes he's awkward and unsophisticated, so he's real. He is my hero and I love the author's writing style. It draws you into Joe's life.
Joe Pickett, Game Warden extraordinarie, but really Wyoming's all round do gooder... Saying this makes the story line rather trite but it's anything but that. It's an intricate plot that starts when Joe encounters and apprehends a man right after killing 7 Elk right in front of him. The guy gets away due to some slight of hand, namely handcuffing Joe to his own steering whee - oops - from there Joe gets back on the guys track after taking the steering wheel completely off and giving chase. He's stopped in his tracks only to find the Elk butcher dead, impaled against a tree by two well placed arrows. Rather than giving away anymore of the plot, let's just say there's another murderer to apprehend but local Anti-Federal Waco/Ruby Ridge refugees and a crazed Fed get into the the plot mix along with Joe's foster daughter being held against her will in a potential deadly stand-off confrontation. I read the first Joe Pickett novel and was glad I did so. I was even more glad that I got this followup book. It's extremely well written and after the first hundred pages I really couldn't put it down. Oh, and there Falconry and blizzards involved too! Loved it.
I don't think I will be reading any more of Box's books. It disturbed me in the second book that the horse was killed but I could see how it sorta tied into the plot. But in this book I saw no reason whatsoever to kill the Yorkie. It had nothing to do with anything and made no sense. It's like he needed to kill something so let's throw in a dog and, for that matter, 2 children and 2 cows so far. I'm afraid to read any more. What or who else has to die just for drama????
C.J. Box writes great novels. I'm not a big reader by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps a book every 3-4 weeks when the mood strikes me.
With the Joe Pickett series I am absolutely hooked and read more than one of his books per week. I've read books one thru 5 in less than four weeks. That should tell you how terrific his books are. He makes you want to keep reading as his style often closes one scene, then opens another that is related, but not necessarily in sequence. I strongly recommend all of C.J. Box's books.
