Raw & Real

I absolutely love Joe Picket so perhaps I am biased, but this is is a extremely well read audio book, the listener can hear the pain and emotion that only David Chandler can display. The story itself is intense, real and super raw. It is graphic and cutting edge. I highly recommend!! A++

A story of vengeance.

The thing I loved most about this story is that it involves someone coming to Saddlestring to get revenge on Joe for some things that happened in prior books, rather than the usual big environmental issues that involve government bureaucracy and things like that. The issues in this book are personal to Joe and his family. I've loved every book in this series thus far, and I think that this is one of the better ones. David Chandler continues to perfectly narrate this series, and his voices for Joe, Nate, and Sheridan are particularly fantastic.

Joe keeps getting better

Amazing book. The narrator does a good job. Can’t imagine any one else reading Joe Pickett now.

Disturbing but necessary Pickett novel

This novel is the filled with the scariest characters of the series so far. Several times I thought, “I don’t need to be reading this” as it was more of a horror story. Still, it does add to the myth and humanity that is the Pickett family.
The ecological theme was also not as apparent but the short reference to water rights on private land was enlightening.

Modern day western (Game Warden)

I've listened to several of the Joe Pickett books and enjoy them all. They don't typically get 5 stars from me, because they're a little slow, but I enjoy them as a break from other series that I read (hear). Things never go smoothly or unreasonably good for Joe Pickett - they are realistic. Good character development. I'll listen to more CJ Box Joe Picket books.

The narrator needs to work on his Southern accent.

I like the narrator in this series, but as a Southerner, his accent is lacking. I've never met anyone with an accent like that.
