As [b:In Plain Sight 31868501 In Plain Sight (Joe Pickett, #6) C.J. Box https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1473277469s/31868501.jpg 898058] opens, Joe Pickett is struggling to do his job as a game warden while being plagued by a vindictive supervisor who is determined to see him fail. Then Opal Scarlett, the matriarch of the wealthy and powerful Scarlett family, goes missing. As game warden, Joe should have only a peripheral interest in the case, but events pull him into the investigation and the resulting family feud. And then there is J.W. Keeley, a psycho killer who has decided to hurt Joe Pickett in the worst way possible. C.J. Box melds these elements to produce a good crime-thriller.This is a well written story with an exciting and strong finish (with a typical C.J. Box twist). I particularly liked how many small seemingly unimportant details become crucial plot details as the story moves toward the climax.This story can be read stand-alone, but I recommend reading the earlier books in the series first.
