Story
Joe Pickett's in his last week as the temporary game warden in the town of Baggs, Wyoming, but there have been strange things going on in the mountains, and his conscience won't let him leave without checking them out: reports of camps looted, tents slashed, elk butchered. And then there's the runner who simply vanished one day. Joe doesn't mind admitting that the farther he rides, the more he wishes he could just turn around and go home.

Story
Everything about the man is a mystery: the massive ranch in the remote Black Hills of Wyoming that nobody ever visits, the women who live with him, the secret philanthropies, the private airstrip, the sudden disappearances. And especially the persistent rumors that the man’s wealth comes from killing people. Joe Pickett, still officially a game warden but now mostly a troubleshooter for the governor, is assigned to find out what the truth is, but he discovers a lot more than he’d bargained for. There are two other men living up at that ranch. One is a stone-cold killer who takes an instant dislike to Joe.

Story
Wyoming's new governor isn't sure what to make of Joe Pickett, but he has a job for him that is extremely delicate. A prominent female British executive never came home from the high-end guest ranch she was visiting, and the British Embassy is pressing hard. Pickett knows that happens sometimes - these ranches are stocked with handsome young cowboys, and "ranch romances" aren't uncommon. But no sign of her months after she vanished? That suggests something else.

Publisher's Summary
When Earl Alden is found dead, dangling from a wind turbine, it's his wife, Missy, who is arrested. Unfortunately for game warden Joe Pickett, Missy is his mother-in- law, a woman he dislikes heartily, and now he doesn't know what to do - especially when the early signs point to her being guilty as sin.
But then things happen to make Joe wonder: Is Earl's death what it appears to be? Is Missy being set up? He has the county DA and sheriff on one side, his wife on the other, his estranged friend Nate on a lethal mission of his own, and some powerful interests breathing down his neck. Whichever way this goes... it's not going to be good.

Another great book with familiar characters.
It seems impossible for C. J. Box to write a less-than-entertaining novel. I have read the entire Joe Pickett series plus the Cody Hoyt-Cassie Dewell books, and all of them are just plain enjoyable reading paired with very good narration. There is humor and great warmth toward his cast of characters. We get to know Wyoming and the Great West very well indeed, or at least the version of it that the author portrays. The plots are interesting and hold my attention. I am a city boy and have been so all my life. I have never been anywhere near the locations in which these books are set, but the author makes me want to go see them. Between this and the Walt Longmire books there is an entire world encapsulated. The two authors vie for my attention, and I eagerly anticipate each new work. I just can't find anything wrong with any of these audiobooks. They aren't great literature, but they don't presume to be. They're just a great way to spend your time and your Audible credits. Go for it. Even if you've lived your entire life in Manhattan. The adventures will keep you turning pages and looking forward to what will happen next.

New West
We could always count on C.J. Box for great plots and his characters are unforgettable. Now, in COLD WIND, he also nails the nuanced ambiance of the real Wyoming, geographically and politically. As a native of that great state, I can't wait for his next offering.

Excellent, edge of my seat the whole time
The action starts right from the beginning and the suspense is tight and keeps you glued to the audio long after you should be doing something else. Literally listened to this book every chance I got until it was finished and right to the end was captured by it. C.J. Box is a very talented writer and this latest installment in the Joe Pickett saga may be the best in the series, which says a lot since the series is so good. The narration is great, the story spellbinding I would recommend this book without a single reservation. Already looking forward to the next in the series.

Boy o boy what a great story. CJ Box is a master when it comes to putting the pen to the paper and grind out a truly creative work. This murder mystery appears to finally enable Joe to give his snake in the grass mother-in-law a final good bye, but , yea there is always a but. This is a really good one and it takes Joe pickets stories to the next level

It ain't no Longmire, that's for sure.
There are often comparisons drawn between Joe Pickett and Walt Longmire (author Craig Johnson), and after reading this, my first Joe Pickett novel I can say it doesn't hold up to the great Longmire books. Is it the character, or the writing (style/skill), I'm not sure.....I lean towards a little bit of both. The dog that is occasionally there, then never mentioned again for half the book. Or the cliche of the war vet gone native and living in a cave. I personally find Joe's personality is too vague and uninteresting -- I'm struggling not to use the word "milquetoast", and I think it's actually about how he's written;
There are obviously a lot of C.J. Box and Joe Pickett fans, so I'm kind of glad I tried it, but I'm also glad I bought this one on sale.
