My husband and I have read the entire Joe Pickett series and have enjoyed them so much. Author C.J. Box makes his characters and plots quite realistic.His depictions of Wyoming ang Yellowstone make me want to go there. I hope he will continue this series! Even Game wardens age.
We really appreciate that his books are available in large print and in the library, since my husband has some visual impairment.
Just love the Joe Pickett series – read every one of them and wondering if the series will continue (sure hope so). Once I start reading, very hard to put down.
Thank you!
