So I was never going to get this (and 15 others) properly written up, so I posted quick, tweet-length thoughts about some things that have needed reviewed for far too long:
Almost as good as the first Pickett novel. Mrs. Pickett gets to shine here, too. I'm so glad I finally got to this series.
In [b:Savage Run 244105 Savage Run (Joe Pickett, #2) C.J. Box https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388234319s/244105.jpg 236499], Wyoming game warden Joe Picket runs up against a new age range war. Killers have been hired by some shadowy group to kill off environmental activists. Joe gets caught up in the conflict at first peripherally through his job and then directly through a family connection from the past.For the first two thirds of the book, the story builds in two separate lines. One follows the team of killers as they go about the country eliminating victims in imaginative ways. The other follows Joe Picket as he picks up seemingly unrelated clues and begins to tie them together. Then, all hell breaks loose.The last third of the book is all deadly action. And of course, C.J. Box adds one of his trademark unexpected twists to finish off the story.Good book.
