I’m hooked on the Joe Pickett series and also listen to the audiobook version whenever it’s available. Even if you already read it, you are still built up by the suspense that you know is coming and the narration is the best! If you like a good mystery and like to try to figure out “who done it” then you’ll love this series. So far I’ve missed the mark on most of them due to the twists and turns. It’s a very interesting and exciting read and an even better listen! What’s your holdup?

5.0 out of 5 stars By Sheridan Pickett
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024
I don’t know how I missed this short story that should have been tucked in a couple of books ago, but it’s a short profile of Joe Pickett.

It’s Thanksgiving 2017 and Sheridan needed to do an essay and goes with Joe on one of his calls like she used to when she was younger. She peppers Joe with questions about his parents and his brother, how he became a game warden, and how he met Marybeth. Sheridan asked Joe about being shot and other misadventures as a game warden. It’s short, tells the story in a clear way and even though it didn’t tell me anything new, I really liked it. Five stars for this novella.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024
Good short story and therein lies the problem. This was a Very short story that bundles together what you know if you’ve read all the author’s books. So, no surprises. So, I wouldn’t recommend actually paying money for hardly more than an essay.

Another fine if short installment from Mr. Box all about one of my favorite characters in contemporary fiction, Joe Pickett. I would love to meet Mr. Box because I think it would amount to meeting Joe Pickett- most authors put a bit of themselves into their characters and I’m guessing a lot of Box went into Pickett and I like the result. This review may now be longer than the story reviewed but read the original and everything else Box has written. You’re welcome.

And his family. He’s so true to who he is. We’ve read all his books. The bad guys are getting “badder”! But still, Joe rarely cusses!! He leaves that up to the scoundrels!! Way to go Joe! A good example to his family!
