Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

With Ellie's old family recipes luring in customers, they expect to make plenty of dough this Fourth of July weekend. Having family home for the holiday only sweetens the deal for Jake - that is, until the ill wind of an early-season hurricane blows up her family's plans.

He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride.

Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

Definately a more perfect book!
This is definitely a good listen. Fast paced and there are more twists and turns than your best roller coaster. If you want a book to take your mind off that long drive to the office or grandma’s house, this will fill the bill.

J P Does it again!
Where does A More Perfect Union rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
While some are better the others, the JP Beaumont series has to rank in my top 100 listens. I particularly enjoyed this one. If you're feeling like an easy laid back listen that is entertaining with a bit of mystery, suspense to and sex to give it just enough spice then this series is for you. I usually have a JP Beaumont, in between my other reads to clean and refresh my palate. Just keep coming JP.........
Who was your favorite character and why?
No other than JP himself. He's so laconic. I'm a bit concerned about the enlarged liver, though! Does this means he has to give up drinking soon?
Have you listened to any of Gene Engene’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Gene is JP. I could not imagine anyone else attempting JP.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Pretty well. I think I only had one break.
Any additional comments?
J A Jance, keep them coming forever. I'll never tire of JP Beaumont.

Other voices
The narrator's main voice was OK but the secondary voices were horrible.
The story seems to be set more towards the 70+ crowd. My 73 year old mom said she really liked the book. We have always liked the same thriller and who did it stories. This one seems to be a generation apart. Won't listen to that narrator again. Will look at other authors
