Representaion To Books Winterkill (Joe Pickett #3)

A storm is brewing

Joe Pickett is a Wyoming game warden with a large territory to cover and is usually by himself. He also often finds himself in unusual and embarrassing situations. This story opens with Joe parked in his truck watching a herd of elk in a meadow below. It is late in the hunting season and there is a storm warning for heavy snow later in the day. Suddenly shots ring out and several elk go down. It appears to be a single hunter. Joe goes to investigate and discovers that the shooter is a Forest Service Supervisor for the area, Lamar Gardiner. Drunk. Joe makes the arrest but then finds himself handcuffed to his steering wheel. He doesn't have keys to these handcuffs but he does have a Leatherman tool which he uses to detach the steering wheel. Hand cuffed to the steering wheel he sets off in pursuit. Embarrassing. All he wants to do is recapture the drunken fool and get back to town before the snow. But when he finds Lamar he has been murdered. Impaled to a tree with arrows and his throat slit.

At the same time a group of anti-government radicals has moved in and taken over a Forest Service campground. Lamar Gardiner worked for the federal government and the Forest Service and FBI move in to take over the investigation into his death. They are convinced that the anti-government radicals are responsible and Saddlestring, Wyoming finds itself possibly being another Waco or Ruby Ridge. There are those in the Forrest Service and FBI who are more radical than the anti-government radicals. Psycho. And at least one anti-government radical who seems like a decent person. Caught in the middle are the innocent citizens of Saddlestring. Including Joe's foster daughter, April.

Lots of messages in this story. What happens when the good guys are in actuality the bad guys? What lengths would you go to in order to protect your family? We meet Nate Romanowski who I believe will be in future stories. C.J. Box reminds us that sometimes we need someone like Nate. Looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

Commentary Epithetical Books Winterkill (Joe Pickett #3)

Yet another great read from C. J. Box and a great addition to the series Joe Pickett.  As per Box fashion this book starts off with a bang. This books starts off with lots of bangs actually that are illegal killings of too many elk by a single shooter on the final day of hunting season. Joe Pickett, a game warden with over 5000 square miles of often treacherous land to monitor and he just happens to be in the vicinity of the shots. What Joe finds is a drunk local official with the National

Couldn't put it down!

The Joe Pickett series by Box is becoming one of my favorites along with the Longmire series by Craig Johnson. Both series take place in Wyoming and involve local ranchers, cowboys, hunters, etc. Joe Pickett is the local game warden and gets in the middle of some perplexing situations. In Winterkill, he stumbles upon a U.S. Forest Service supervisor who is wantonly killing a herd of Elk. The FS officer winds up dead and pinned to a tree by some high-powered arrows. In trying to solve the murder,

A forest service supervisor is murdered right after he goeson a shooting spree and slaughters a herd of elk. Warden JoePickett is in the area and hears all of the shooting. He findsthe supervisor impaled to a tree with an arrow. A mysterious stranger who trains falcons and carries an unusual weapon isarrested for the slaying. Next a special investigative teamheaded by a vindictive woman bent on a confrontation with a group of government survivalists camped out on government landarrives in town.

More like 3 1/2 stars.

I enjoyed it. I lived with Quebec winters for 30 years so I could feel the weather as it happened. I knew April was not going to be around after this book as the author didnt flesh her character out hardly at all. Love the birds too.

The series is hitting it's stride for me. I finally met Nate (one of my husband's fav in the series) and glad he will be in future books. The villains were truly despicable and get their just reward. The book also had a HUGE HUGE DAMMIT ANYWAY that made me cry. Great story for the area that is not far fetched.
