Wolf Pack

I have read all 19 Joe Pickett novels and have recommended the series to a lot of people, but this is the last. The body count has just grown way too high and too gratuitous in such a violent world as ours has become. While I embrace poetic license, this is just more than I can tolerate.

Much of the storyline was illogical, with inaccurate statistics that were used to justify FBI activities. The body count, and the level of mayhem made this book extremely distasteful.

My review of Wolf Pack came a little more slowly, and with more deliberation than I normally give. This is because I got the Audible edition at the same time I bought the Kindle edition.

STAND-ALONE: It can be read as a stand-alone, but the greatest appreciation will come for devotees of the series.

CLIFFHANGER. No. Although there surely will be more Pickett novels, this does not end with a cliffhanger.

If I were to rate this only based on the Audible narration, Id be hard-pressed to rate it four stars, as the writing comes across as just a bit too much of an info dump. However, when I read the Kindle version, the info dump is much more invisible, so I am rating it more highly.

WRITING & EDITING: Professional. The flow is good, and the historical bits are interesting. Sometimes the inter-agency tension seems too drawn out, but, as someone who has witnessed just how antagonistic the various factions within the federal and state agencies can be, it had the feeling of authenticity.

BLUSH FACTOR: The number of eff words is more than youll want to read with your prayer group, probably, but it is not excessive for most folks. Certainly not for me. I mention it only for those for whom it might annoy.

No graphic sex, but some of the violence might disturb a few readers. I appreciated the realistic portrayal, though.

BOTTOM LINE

I enjoyed this murder mystery and consider it a fine Action-Adventure.

C. J. Box never disappoints with his series. I have read all 19 books in the Joe Pickett series and always preorder the next one as soon as it becomes available, I hope there are many more to come. When you start reading this novel you cant put it down, I just received it today and read the entire book. I would highly recommend this book to all, but especially to those who hunt and enjoy the great outdoors. Cant wait for the next one to see how he tops this one. C.J. Box is one of my favorite authors.

Never read a Pickett book that wasn’t five stars worthy, and this one is definitely worth five and more, if they were available. Joe is not the normal easy going Game Warden he normally portrays, as he and Nate are more in the justice mode. You will find yourselves wondering when the morbid stories will cease and tell retaliation will begin. Don’t give up yet, as the fun will soon begin!
There are many different aspects to Wolf Pack than most of the Pickett series contain, but the storylines, and the bad characters, are just as devious as all other stories have been. I have to admit some stories go far beyond Joe’s normal restraints, but hang in there and you will enjoy each and every exciting episode as they begin to fall in place.
Without hesitation, I definitely recommend this exciting masterpiece by the mastermind.behind the Joe Pickett series, Mr. C. J. Box. He certainly has had the uncanny ability to release nineteen exciting masterful performances of this series, most all of them were five star masterpieces! Fortunately I have had the opportunity to read each and every one of them in order. I anxiously await the next exciting adventure, although I know it will be at least a year before it will arrive! If you don’t buy this outstanding story, the loss will definitely be yours!
