I'm really torn on what to rate this one. Technically, it's a good story, but I have some issues with the poor decisions everyone seems to be making, Joe included.
Joe is away from home, subbing in Jackson Hole for a colleague who, unfortunately, committed suicide. This causes issues between Joe and Marybeth, who isn't my favorite person anyway, and slipped down about 10 notches in my book. Woman, you are the worst. And Stella. What a horribly drawn character with absolutely no redeeming qualities. Joe bumbles along, nothing gets resolved anywhere, and I'm quickly talking myself into a 2.5 rating, so I'll stop.
CJ Box doesn't seem to understand women. I'm annoyed right now, and this is my least favorite book in the series so far.

This was my favorite Joe Pickett book yet. The characters of Joe and Marybeth seemed much more real in this one and I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.

Joe's friend dies, joe finds out why he was murdered, great characters with great human relationships.

Yep, I read # 5 as I drove around Yellowstone. I should have gone to Jackson Hole where this installment is set.
Still good, still holding my interest.

I love this series! I wish the language was a bit milder but I enjoy a good who done it book!

This was somewhat a three star for me. Joe and Marybeth seems to drift apart a bit while Joe was called to another town where another Game Warden committed suicide. Joe didn't buy it and investigates. Some side story about environmental extremists and we meet the jerk sheriff again. Sweet ending!
