Only to stumble upon a dead body and someone taking pot shots at him. The story gets quite tense with the reader not knowing who to trust. Finally an ending that brings all of the loose pieces together. Four stars were given to this book. It has a beginning, middle and end as well as believable characters and settings. Enjoy! This entry in the Joe Pickett series is a a little darker than some of the others, but as usual the events are based on real life in Wyoming and the characters represent real types in every day life. Life in small rural western towns is represented realistically, along with issues from the world beyond that sphere which have tremendous impact on individuals. There are incidents involving animals that are hard to read. However, I enjoy seeing how Joe's life changes as his children leave home, and the way he and Marybeth work together to solve mysteries. The newest book, number 23, in the Joe Pickett series. And, once again, it held my interest past my bedtime! I love these characters! Joe and his wife Mary Beth are empty nestersnow and oldest daughter, Sheridan plays more of a role in this installment. Joe finds a body stuffed into a bit coin farming building during a snowstorm. It gets ugly fast and thank goodness we have his friends, Nate Romanowski and Geronimo Jones to watch his back! Always recommended! #23 is another fantastic book in this series! The characters were portrayed as realistic individuals with depth and unique characteristics. Joe and Mary Beth are now empty nesters and daughter Sheridan plans an adult role; Nate plays a major role and is just, well, Nate. Plot is entwined with Wyoming politics that could happen in nearly any of the Western states. The ending leaves the reader wondering about some loose ends...maybe CJ Box has #24 in mind? aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Joe Pickett is out chasing an wounded elk and to exactly noone's surprise, he manages to stumble onto a body - of the human variety. With a heavy storm closing in and everyone seemingly wanting to ignore and forget the dead man (whose body also somehow disappears at one point), it comes down to our game warden to somehow stumble into the truth. Meanwhile, Nate's pursuit of the man who stole his falcons and wounded his wife continues. Before long the stories will of course end up meeting - and with a heavy dose of familiar characters showing up again, the novel fits into the series. Maybe don't read it when it is cold outside though - the whole novel relies on the cold and the snow to make things even more oppressive. Which works - but leaves a very oppressive aftertaste. ( )
