5 starsJoe Pickett is back in his 19th adventure in the series, and C.J. Box shows no signs of slacking off even the slightest bit. Wolf Pack is an outstanding addition to the series, and Pickett tackles dual issues as he frequently does – one timely (often environmental) issue and one more straightforward mystery. The current issue in Wolf Pack is the use of drones to herd animals, sometimes to harass them and other times to lead them to their slaughter. When Joe identifies the drone operator a...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Crazy, fast pace read! One of my favorite in the series so far. I couldn’t read it fast enough and even let laundry pile up today to read because the suspense of the Hill family was something I could not wait for the reveal. Bug changes in the end for the character landscapes and I am interested in seeing where Box takes it after Lone Range. Very good read!

Well, that went fast. Probably Box's best written. Very tight and smooth.Not sure what I can say about the content without spoilers. Maybe a couple of teases: there are two eponymous wolf packs, and only one is of gray wolves. Nate Romanowski's birds play a key role. And Joe and and Marybeth's last daughter remaining at home, Lucy, is in the line of fire.If you're a fan, you'll like it a lot. So will you if you're new and it'll probably start you on the whole series.

A re-read. One of Box's best featuring Joe Pickett.The Game Warden has just been reinstated and with new car and new home. Initially he encounters drone activity scaring the animals. Then come the Dept of Justice and the FBI asserting themselves in his county.Definitely one of Box's best in this series.Unputdownable

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is happy. At the end of The Disappeared he had lost his job. Now, with the help of the former governor he not only has his job back but he has a new home and truck. Things are looking good. For now.The story opens in April opens with neighboring Wyoming game warden Katelyn Hamm out on patrol. Her section is on the other side of the Big Horn mountains from Joe. She spots a drone that is harassing elk and mule deer that are weak from the winter weather. The drone pa...

I think I've read almost all of CJ Box's books, which is a talented author that I really enjoy.He has only one big weak point: the credibility of his stories is sometimes at the limit of the acceptable, he has from time to time recourse to the facility of happy chance. And, more rarely, CJ Box gratifies us with an incongruous story, which defies logic.Wolf Pack is the perfect example of this bad side of CJ Box.From the beginning we know that it will not be a great Joe Pickett: the story is scatt...

First Sentence: For Wyoming Game Warden Katelyn Hamm, April really was the cruelest month. Game Warden Joe Pike has his job back, a new house, and another new truck. He and neighboring game warden Katelyn Hamm also have a big problem with someone using a large drone to kill herds of animals. It becomes more complicated when Joe learns that Lucy, one of his daughters is dating the son of the very wealthy man named Hill who owns the drone, and when Joe receives orders from above to leave Hill alon...

I've been waiting on this latest book to come out for a year and I am not disappointed!Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett has been re-instated in his job since the last book with a raise, a new state residence and a new pickup truck. For those who follow Joe, let me reassure you that he doesn't wreck the truck in this book. Give him time. The neighboring game warden Katelyn Hamm spots a drone herding mule deer into a frenzy and alerts Joe that the pilot headed in his direction. Katelyn makes some i...

Another great tale by C.J. Box. Amazing his 19th book in the series and he has not let us down yet as so many authors do. Sadly, the next book will be missing some of my favorites. RIP

The last of the sun was ballooning over the western horizon before sliding behind the mountains. It infused the light with a soft bronze glow that painted the street as well as the sides of buildings.Wolf Pack is the nineteenth in the series featuring Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett, based in the small town of Saddlestring, loving husband of Marybeth and proud father of 3 daughters, the youngest, Lucy, about to leave the nest. It is late April, a time of unsettled weather, and the Pickett’s are

Whew! What a book!! This novel's murderous wolf pack is two-legged kind. Joe finds himself in the most violent and dangerous predicament he’s ever faced. I don't want to write anything that would give the plot of this book away so I'll leave it at that.I have to say that reading one of Box’s new books and following Joe, Marybeth, and Nate Romanowski, is like catching up with old friends one hasn't seen in a while. I highly recommend this book AND this series!!

In Wolf Pack (G.P. Putnam 2019), C.J. Box's nineteenth in the wildly-popular Joe Pickett series, Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett is back to work patrolling the beautiful loneliness of the Wyoming wilds thanks to the legal efforts of the former Wyoming governor and the ineptitude of the new one."...cold hard rain to Winchester with dark storm clouds pressing down on him and obscuring the mountains.""The stream had jumped the banks, and water pooled within stands of willows and around the trunks o...

Wow!! Each of these books is more wonderful than the others!! This story is riveting.

WOLF PACK is the 19th book in the “Joe Pickett” series by author C.J. Box, and begins with a female game officer in an area that borders the one managed by Joe experiencing a drone operated by someone unknown who is terrorizing game with it that leads to the death and destruction of several of them, whereupon she consults with Joe to enlist his aid in her investigation.Joe is offered the services of Nate Romanowski, his lifelong sworn protector of both Joe and his family with a past in special o...

Wolf Pack is another fine book by CJ Box, one of the most consistently good mystery/thriller writers out there - out where?, hell, I dunno, there! As I have said before, Box's stories are set in the mountains of Wyoming but could well have occurred in San Francisco, the Everglades or Paris. They are such well-written stories that the setting is truly irrelevant. Wolf Pack is the 19th in the Joe Pickett series. Joe, a Wyoming fish and game warden, is joined by recurring characters, his wife Maryb...

Box uses Wyoming to exhibit whats going on in American culture. Rationally it's a "hit or miss" according to the knowledge and interests of the reader. For me, he hits right on about the American govt. not being able to handle crime. Unions should never been allowed to take over public service jobs.One more and I've caught up with the author.
