Shadows Reel

Joe Pickett, Book 22

By: C. J. Box

Narrated by: David Chandler

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett and his wife, Marybeth, make separate discoveries that put the Pickett family in a pair of killers’ crosshairs in this thrilling new novel in the bestselling series.

A day before the three Pickett girls come home for Thanksgiving, Joe is called out for a moose-poaching incident that turns out to be something much more sinister: a local fishing guide has been brutally tortured and murdered. At the same time, Marybeth opens an unmarked package at the library where she works and finds a photo album that belonged to an infamous Nazi official. Who left it there? And why?

She learns that during World War II, several Wyoming soldiers were part of the first American company to reach Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest retreat in the Alps—and one of them took the Führer’s personal photo album. Did another take this one and
keep it all these years? When a close neighbor is murdered, Joe and Marybeth face new questions: Who is after the book? And how will they solve its mystery before someone hurts them … or their girls?

Meanwhile, Nate Romanowski is on the hunt for the man who stole his falcons and attacked his wife. Using a network of fellow falconers, Nate tracks the man from one city to another. Even as he grasps the true threat his quarry presents,
Nate swoops in for the kill—and a stunning final showdown.

Great book

This book is classic C. J. Box. I was a little discouraged by some of the very negative reviews but thought I’d try it anyway. I’m so glad I did. The story is exciting and keeps you listening. The narration is superb. I suspect some of the very harsh reviews are by people who think it’s acceptable to burn down a Starbucks if your candidate loses the election.

Half a book?

First off I need to compliment David Chandler on his performance. Maintaining characters and their assigned voices is a skill. In this story there are times that he has to maintain multiple characters and voices in rapid fire conversations and remain his role as the narrator/observer.

My original review was not very flattering. I thought I had purchased half a story. Then I realized that it just might be a new story line. One that would take some time to grow in breath and depth.

The story is good and transitional. We have a new character (with family) that I hope become major contributors in future stories. Dropping the Governor and introducing new “prime time” players is a great move. Even a new “level of influence” for Mary Beth could be just around the corner.

There is a transitional trilogy here, should!

C J Box Delivers Again
