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.

Publisher's Summary
Before Kenny can get very far, he comes upon an ailing stray dog with a woman's running shoe in his mouth. The dog leads him to the butchered bones of a murder victim, and Kerney finds he's inherited a homicide along with the ranch. Determined not to see his weekend ruined, Kerney turns the investigation over to the state police district office and continues his survey of his windfall inheritance, only to find that the timber thieves have clear-cut a great swath of woodland in a remote canyon.
Unsure of whether he can pay the inheritance taxes, hold on to his land, and realize his dream to ranch again, Kerney returns to Santa Fe. There, he finds that Sara Brannon - a woman he cares deeply about - has arrived to visit him. As Kerney and Sara begin trying to sort out a relationship that means more to both of them than either is willing to admit, Kerney is called back to Hermit's Peak. Another murder victim has been found at a remote cabin next to Kerney's property, and he is soon engaged in a race against time to solve two murders and avert another.

worst narration I have ever encountered
The story is OK a bit short for this point in the series, but an OK yarn. The bumper music is nice guitars with a good sound makes a nice break between chapters, However the reader has the most annoying accent and reading style I have ever heard. The production is awful as well with pauses so long between chapters you think the down load was faulty. Without doubt the worst audible book I have ever listened to. The rest of the series is read by George Guidall..this book deserves to be re issued with him to enhance the continuity of the series .but anything would be better that this production. Awful awful awful!

Good Story TERRIBLE Narator
What disappointed you about Hermit's Peak?
The narrator stinks and it is abridged. Also the long silent pauses between chapters are very annoying.
What didn’t you like about J. Ed Araiza’s performance?
The tone and cadence of the narration was all wrong. Maybe I just got use to George Guidall. But I did not like Araiza's style.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
As always Mcgaritys work is great. This story really starts to pull together several backstories.

Disappointment due to audio adaptation of the book
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Another narrator and UNABRIDGED story. The complete story as in the book would have made it more interesting as I know that there was more to the written book than what was in this audio book. There was weird music break between chapters followed by usually long pause that needed to be removed. A simple Chapter 1, 2 etc is just fine.
What could Michael McGarrity have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not have let audio book total ruin his book with this audio version.
How could the performance have been better?
George Guidall as narrator. He did the Kerney family series and the first books in the Kevin Kerney series. He is a much better narrator, really disliked this narrator as his voice was annoying and characters not good.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The Kevin Kerney story is interesting as well as the details about the southwest and New Mexico area are always enjoyable. Good detective story and nice flow of Kerney family life and friends.
Any additional comments?
Audible should sell this book at discount of $3.95 or $4.95 as it is abridged version and not worth the full price of the other Kerney series audible books.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of J. Ed Araiza?
George Guidal, Jonathan Davis,
Any additional comments?

Probably a great story, but the narration
What disappointed you about Hermit's Peak?
The narrators voice is monotone and really I'd distractive.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
No
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of J. Ed Araiza?
The narrator who does the Craig Johnson novels
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It probably is a good story, but hard to tell.

Human Side of a Tough Business
After 25 years in law enforcement I was not interested in detective, mystery, or who-done-it books as lacking realism of the business until I was introduced to Patricia Cromwell, Tony Hillerman, Dana Stabenow, and Jonathan Kellerman. I now am a voracious and critical reader looking for accuracy, detail, and insight into the people in stories. Five stars doesn't seem to adequately rank the intensity and humanity Michael McGarrity has penned into this story - the insight of the individual triumphs and dispair of the characters interwoven with the grandeur of the Southwest, portrayed in the Hermit Peak Region of New Mexico, places this volume equally amongst the best of the authors previously mentioned. I sincerely hope we will soon see another such work by this talented author among the Audible Selections.
