The Crossroads

Joe Pickett, Book 26

De: C.J. Box

Narrado por: David Chandler

Game warden Joe Pickett fights for his life as his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.

Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

Joe was found in his pickup at Antler Creek Junction, a crossroads connecting three ranches. Each road leading to a dangerous family. Each family with a different bone to pick with the local game warden. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that Joe was ambushed by one of the families, but they have no idea which one since Joe didn't say where he was going or why.

With Joe unconscious and fighting for his life with Marybeth at his side, Sheridan, April, and Lucy split up and investigate each of the families to uncover the truth of what happened to their father, before it's too late.

I've waited a year for this!!!

I love that all three girls returned for this story, and after a couple really heavy installments the past two years I appreciated this one. David Chandler once again nailed the performance. Great story all around!

Excellent addition

C. J. Box has done it again with The Crossroads which is Book 26 in the Joe Picket series. It has all the action of previous installments with an interesting twist.
David Chandelier gave a standout performance as he brought the story to life and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I always look forward to every addition to this great series

Good but Not His Best

interesting plot line a satisfying ending. Character development could be improved. I am a longtime fan of the series and enjoyed this one.

Something was missing!

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I had the others. I always liked when Joe and Nate teamed up to kick some a$$ so this story was lacking in that department. I liked that the Pickett girls teamed up to find who had tried to kill their father but I had to wait the entire story for Nate to rip off an ear!!

Good premise! Great series

I really enjoyed this book. It was written well. The narrator did a perfectly fine job. I enjoyed the premise of the book and the continuation of the series.
