"I would say that C.J. Box is at the top of his form, but the top just keeps moving ever upward...a nonstop thrill ride not to be missed!"

C.J. Box moves from strength to strength with each new installment in the saga of Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett, the 11th and latest of which is Cold Wind. Not one, but two killings rock the Pickett family within days of one another: Joe Pickett’s father-in-law Earl Alden, a wind-energy entrepreneur whose body is found dangling from the spinning blade of one of his giant windmills; and Alisha Whiteplume, the longtime love interest of Pickett’s “best-friend-forever-slash-nemesis,” Nate Romanowski; both murdered by person or persons unknown. The prime suspect in the Alden case is none other than Missy Alden, Earl’s wife and Pickett’s despised mother-in-law. Despite his ongoing loathing of the woman, Pickett grudgingly agrees to lend a hand toward proving her innocence. It won’t be long until he regrets that decision, on more levels than he can count. I would say that C.J. Box is at the top of his form, but the top just keeps moving ever upward. Cold Wind is a nonstop thrill ride not to be missed!
