Yippee ki yay! Damn good stuff! If you like your heroes to have a conscience and still be able to mete out some rough justice when it is warranted, you are going to love Joe Pickett.

Good story about a game warden seeking the truth about his daughter's savage attack.
There are some very sick weirdos in this world. This book is about a family of them. Not overly sensationalistic (which I believe in itself leads to the chilling gnawing horror - it's just how life is lived and seen by some).

Another instant classic read. I have not really gotten to know Joe Pickett but the little bit that I am familiar with I am enjoying. I really felt like I connected with him in this book. I like that the father side of him really came out. He was not just sheriff but a father who like any loving father you do not want to mess with when his daughter is hurt. Quick reading with high intensity. I could not stop reading. Mr. Box is a great storyteller. He brings life to his stories and characters as if they really were people. Not much of a surprise when it came to the responsible party. However still fun to read how it would all end. Which it did end and with a big bang in a good way. Can't wait to read the next book by this author.

Another great family that I've watched grow. I love that Joe always does the right thing and Nate is back...at least a little bit. Great ending to the bad guys...well bad family..the Cates. Great book!
