I have listened to eight of the books in the series, this being the 9th. This guy, Joe Pickett, is one complete bumblescrew. SPOILERS - DON'T GO ANY FURTHER AS THIS REVIEW IS GOING TO BE SPECIFIC.


He is supposed to be a GF cop. Every G&F cop I have ever encountered is possessed of a suspicious and skeptical nature. 1) NOBODY carries a S&W revolver with an empty round under the hammer. 2) ONLY on TV do cops chamber a round in their semi-auto EVERY time they go into action. Especially NOT a Glock. 3) The complete inability to reason through obvious to the reader / listener information and reach logical decisions mean he MUST have been a Chicago style political appointment to the position. There is NO way he passed a written test to get the job. 4) This book starts soft and carries through the first 2 hours showing how inept and stupid he is. He is presented with a case that involves a mobster on the run and a 14 year old minor with him. Instead of turning the case over to the FBI, he gets a leave of absence and takes his 17 year old daughter on a seek and destroy mission. This will be the last one I pay for...

really enjoyed James Taylor sharing his history., and the background of some of his most recognizable music.


Hearing him share his triumphs and tragedies, It is own words and his own voice, is powerful.
