Open Season Sep 24, 2008 A great book, good suspense. Things don't go where you think they should, and it makes for a great read.
Good debut novel Sep 02, 2008 This was the debut novel by the author, and is the first novel in the series about Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett. It is a well written novel, although the plot becomes a little predictable. It gives a nice background picture of the Bighorn Mountain country.
As to the plot, friendship is sometimes misplaced. Et tu, Brute - those of us who have scars from knives in the back are aware that you have to be careful about whom you trust. Sometimes events spin out of control.
Joe Pickett's oldest daughter is the charming character of the novel. In some respects, she steals the show.
In addition to the Pickett series, I would recommend the author's more recent novel, "Blue Heaven," which is a stand alone novel set in northern Idaho.

In the Great Mystery Tradition--of being a mystery not a thriller Mar 26, 2008 Box brings Wyoming and his world to life. He has that touch of Dick Francis, Rex Stout, and the master, Agatha Christie, to deliver burnished jewels to the reader.
One of the best portrayals of a 13 year old girl ever. Right square in the middle of a wonderful mystery.
Gold nuggets every where. You'll see why America longs for the back country with lesser paying jobs that deliver wonderful daily life. And then the mystery!
New series for me Jan 28, 2008 I really enjoyed this book, I had been meaning to read this series for a long time. I can only hope they get better with each book and look forward to reading them all.
Joe Pickett novel- Outstanding! Sep 24, 2007 I had the chance to read the first Joe Pickett novel by CJ Box while on an RV trip out west traveling through the very country side depicted in the novel. Open Season, the first one in the series was great. My brother and I both finished it in two days. We then bought all the others in the series as well. Mr. Box has a very good series going here and we hope there are more Joe Pickett novels to come.
