Open Season (Joe Pickett # 1) by C.J. Box (2001)

 

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in a small Wyoming town. Joe is far from popular as he can’t be bribed and refuses to look the other way. One chilly morning as he is listening to his two daughters talking, he hears the oldest talking about the monster she saw in the backyard. At her insistence Joe decides to investigate. The dead body he finds in the woodpile starts a series of events that will cause Joe to reevaluate his life and the people in it. This death will be followed by others which leaves Joe with more questions than answers. At stake is an endangered species and the future of an oil pipeline being built in the area.

This is my first C.J. Box novel and I liked it. Many of the patrons have been urging me to read the Joe Pickett series and now I am urging you. If you have not picked up one of these books, please do so. There are currently 21 books in the series, many of which are available at EPL, so it will be while before you run out of reading options.

3.94 stars on Goodreads, 4.5 on Amazon
