A Joe Pickett Novel

By: C. J. Box

Narrated by: David Chandler

Length: 11 hrs

Publisher's summary

It's an idyllic late-summer day in Saddlestring, Wyoming, and game warden Joe Pickett is fly-fishing with his two daughters when he stumbles upon the mutilated body of a moose. Whatever - or whoever - attacked the animal was ruthless: half the animal's face has been sliced away, the skin peeled back from the flesh. Shaken by the sight, Joe starts to investigate what he hopes in an isolated incident.

Days later, after the discovery of a small herd of mutilated cattle, Joe realizes this is something much more terrifying than he could have imagined. Local authorities are quick to label the attacks the work of a grizzly bear, but Joe knows otherwise. The cuts on the moose and the cattle were too clean, too precise, to have been made by jagged teeth. Are the animals only practice for a killer about to move on to another, more challenging prey?

Soon afterward, Joe's worst fears are confirmed. The bodies of two men are found within hours of each other, in separate locations, their wounds eerily similar to those found on the moose and cattle. There's a vicious killer, a modern-day Jack the Ripper, on the loose in Saddlestring - and it appears his rampage is just beginning.

He's game: solve another mystery with Joe Pickett.

ALWAYS ENJOY THIS SERIES!

I have yet to be disappointed in The Joe Pickett Series. I know when I buy one of the books that I am in for a good listen and it is so wonderful to be able to rely on that. I want to recommend this series to anyone who enjoys nature, rustic settings and family all tied into a great mystery. I especially appreciate that the language is very decent and they are not filled with all the disgusting words that seem to coming into so many books now. That is so tiring
and berates the story and the author, in my opinion,

Is just keep getting better

I am really enjoying these books this is the fourth book and it is incredibly better. Can't wait for the next

Joe Pickett Novels never disappoint

If you are looking for a fast paced action novel with plot twists at every turn, well, this isn't it. But what you will have is a a really good steady suspense novel taking place in the great outdoors, with a slew of interesting characters. C.J. Box does his usual good job of bringing in new and interesting characters to interact with those we've seen in previous Joe Pickett novels. They are always fun and thought provoking but at times can be a bit slow. The narrater does an excellent job of bringing these characters to life.
