Super! I love how Joe Pickett is unashamedly weak and strong at the same time. So human!

DNF. I was torn for the first few books. I really like the family: Joe, Mary Beth, Sheridan, Lucy. I like Joe's relationships with his wife and daughter Sheridan. I really like Nate, and all the other local "oddball" relationships - although Sheriff Barnum got to be a caricature a couple of books ago. But. The violence, cruelty to people and animals, became too much to get past, to get to good stories. I'm not naive, I'm not anti-hunting, I'm not looking for a "no violence in mystery thrillers" unicorn...but I read to escape, and I especially need to escape cruelty and craven violence these days. These just feel different to me than books by writers like William Kent Krueger and Paul Doiron. Reluctantly turning elsewhere.

Great continuation of a good series
So far one of my favorite books in the series. I think this is one of the best series currently.

This one did not keep my interest as much as some of the others.
In this book Joe has dealt with several upsetting events in his life. With the disappearance of Opal Scarlett, Joe has ran into someone that looks familiar, but can't place why. This person has set forth to make things hard for Joe, but it's not just Joe he's turned thing on. He has caused hardship for Joe's work ethic, caused issues for his family. At this time I'm not sure how I feel about the ending results of Joe's actions but am hoping that he can recover from them and change how he reacts to certain situations.
