Continues as a strong series with well-liked characters. "Winterkill", lots of downs... was there ever an up moment?
State and Fed officials were out to start another "Waco" against Sovereign citizens moving through small-town Wyoming. The situation was hellish with 3 feet of snow as Joe tried to solve crime in the area. Things went from bad to worse. Huge change. A new falconer character is introduced. Thank you CJ Box for giving Joe a kick-ass sidekick.

My favorite Pickett book so far and it looks like he got his sidekick. The story overall was a sad one, drawing from real life tragedies that we all remember. Box did well shining a light on them with this book.
I love a great snowstorm and this book had two. The effect they had on the stories outcome was tragic, overshadowing mistakes Joe made that will haunt him and his family going forward. Box is not afraid to torture his hero and his heroes family. I’m sure that these losses will be seen throughout the rest of the series.
Here in the third Pickett book, the series became truly special. I’m late to the party but ready to go after this series like I did with Reacher. Like Lee Child, I cant believe I missed out on C. J. Box for so long.

Couldn't put it down! Once the scene had been set and the real action started it didn't relent, this was a tough one too, toward the end. Fantastic.
