Good story with the usual cast of characters with the addition of a few unexpected guests。 Somewhat predictable， but knowing you are going to enjoy the ride even if you know how it ends！

While tracking a wounded elk in the midst of an epic Rocky Mountain spring snowstorm， Joe Pickett makes a startling and gruesome discovery: the frozen and mutilated body of a man who has obviously trespassed on private ranch and was killed near the location of a mysterious high-tech structure。 Joe also finds the man’s vehicle on an isolated mountainside—the victim’s ID indicates that he is a prominent University of Wyoming professor。 When Joe attempts to learn more， his investigation is obstruct While tracking a wounded elk in the midst of an epic Rocky Mountain spring snowstorm， Joe Pickett makes a startling and gruesome discovery: the frozen and mutilated body of a man who has obviously trespassed on private ranch and was killed near the location of a mysterious high-tech structure。 Joe also finds the man’s vehicle on an isolated mountainside—the victim’s ID indicates that he is a prominent University of Wyoming professor。 When Joe attempts to learn more， his investigation is obstructed by federal agents， extremists， and Governor Colter Allen。 Nate Romanowski is rebuilding his falconry company—and financing this through crypto mining with the assistance of Geronimo Jones。 Nate is then approached by a shadowy group of local militant activists that is gaining in power and influence， and demanding that Wyoming join other western states and secede from the union—by force if necessary。 They ask Nate to throw in with them， but he’s wary。 Should he trust them， or is he being set up？As a storm of peril gathers around them， Joe and Nate confront it in different ways—and maybe， for the first time， on opposite sides。 。。。more

Love Joe Pickett series！

Hardy Boys for adults。 It was just what I needed right now。 Fast paced， easy to follow， decent twists， and no romance。 The only slight confusion was the many many names that I had to keep track of。

Joe Pickett is back！ I love this series and Storm Watch is a wonderful addition。 The author accurately depicts the beauty of Wyoming， even in a blizzard。 Joe is 100% Wyoming， with his love of the outdoors， understanding of the hunting lifestyle， and love for his family。 This mystery was full of unexpected twists and kept me guessing。

Another dead body found in Joe Pickett’s district。 Illegal elk shedding and murderous bitcoin operations; a weird combo but it works。 Glad to see ex-governor Rulan back as a main character。 Does anyone find it strange that the law enforcement is portrayed as idiots and his wife and daughters solve the murder instead？ Hhhmmm

C。J。 Box Is on Top of It！I never miss a Joe Pickett story。 They are true "can't miss" material for me。 Over the years， Joe has become one of my favorite modern literary characters。 His easy style， homespun humor， down-to-earth ways， and unflappable manner have a way of endearing him to the reader。 His strength， loyalty， and love of family make him a formidable force and an enduring personality。 His best friend， Nate Romanowski， is also an intriguing sort of guy。 Nate is the flip side of Joe's co C。J。 Box Is on Top of It！I never miss a Joe Pickett story。 They are true "can't miss" material for me。 Over the years， Joe has become one of my favorite modern literary characters。 His easy style， homespun humor， down-to-earth ways， and unflappable manner have a way of endearing him to the reader。 His strength， loyalty， and love of family make him a formidable force and an enduring personality。 His best friend， Nate Romanowski， is also an intriguing sort of guy。 Nate is the flip side of Joe's coin。 They aren't alike in many ways。 Yet those points in which they are alike， make them a strong alliance and indisputable friends。This story shows that the author has his finger on the pulse of current events。 It may be set in Wyoming， where some people think time stands still， yet it bears the mark of today's headlines as Joe faces adversaries that hold all the cards。 Some favorite secondary characters appear in this novel， including the sniveling current governor， the annoyingly persistent and sharp former governor， and the West's worst mother-in-law， Missy。 These three are a great counterbalance to the tension happening in desolate places。 It's all great fun in the way of game warden Joe Pickett's misadventures。Fans of mysteries/suspense/thrillers and outdoor adventures will find much to love about this series。 If you've not had the fortune to meet these intriguing characters， you can dive in here and find out why readers just won't let Joe retire， even with 23 books under his belt。 Joe's got more miles to ride before he hangs up his hat。 As for narrator David Chandler， he's like a fine wine。 He's almost an acquired taste， having his own unique style。 Yet he just feels like the voice of Joe， et al。 It wouldn't be the same without him。 。。。more

A classic Joe Picket story with familiar characters， mystery and suspense in Wyoming。 What I like most about this series is that the characters are so realistic and the author’s scenic descriptions are spot on。 ARC was provided by NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam/G。P。 Putnam’s Sons in exchange for an honest review。

I have had the pleasure to read twenty three books featuring Joe Pickett。 I have never been let down。 Some are slower than others， some are like being on a runaway roller coaster。 This book was the latter。 Joe is often thought by those who do not know him to be dense but underneath that neutral expression is a very sharp mind。 He manages to see things that others cannot or do not want to see。 He never ceases to ruffle feathers of others that lack his tenacity。 The setting is beautiful， his frien I have had the pleasure to read twenty three books featuring Joe Pickett。 I have never been let down。 Some are slower than others， some are like being on a runaway roller coaster。 This book was the latter。 Joe is often thought by those who do not know him to be dense but underneath that neutral expression is a very sharp mind。 He manages to see things that others cannot or do not want to see。 He never ceases to ruffle feathers of others that lack his tenacity。 The setting is beautiful， his friends are supportive， his family is precious （except for Missy， the mother in law） ， the plot is clever and the action is fast moving。 The good part is this is an exceptional read for those who fancy this genre。 The bad news is now I have to wait again for the next in this series。t 。。。more

One of CJ Box's bestStorm Watch starts with a snow storm ends with another snow storm plus an explosive climax。 A few storylines converge in an excellent and satisfying ending。 You can read this as a stand alone book， but then go on to read the previous books in the Pickett series。 One of CJ Box's bestStorm Watch starts with a snow storm ends with another snow storm plus an explosive climax。 A few storylines converge in an excellent and satisfying ending。 You can read this as a stand alone book， but then go on to read the previous books in the Pickett series。 。。。more

Storm Watch by CJ Box is another great thriller with Joe Pickett！ I think I held my breath more than once in this novel！ I also had the chance to learn so much about crypto mining （not that I feel I have a good handle on it）。 As always there were conspiracy theories， seditious undertakings， and corruption。 I always enjoy how all the events move together into one big maelstrom。 Joe Pickett starts off the story looking for an injured elk。 From this singular incident， he finds a dead man and a buil Storm Watch by CJ Box is another great thriller with Joe Pickett！ I think I held my breath more than once in this novel！ I also had the chance to learn so much about crypto mining （not that I feel I have a good handle on it）。 As always there were conspiracy theories， seditious undertakings， and corruption。 I always enjoy how all the events move together into one big maelstrom。 Joe Pickett starts off the story looking for an injured elk。 From this singular incident， he finds a dead man and a building in the middle of nowhere！ This leads to Joe needing help from his wife （who can find out almost anything） and his friend Nate （the falconer）。 From this point the story spreads out into a morass of people who are determined to change how the world is seen and requires even more help with a new friend Geronimo and Joe’s daughter Sheridan。 I enjoy learning about the elk and the falcons。 I enjoy the “saltiness” of some of the characters。 The conspiracies are so out of my knowledge base， but obviously have people who believe in many views about the government。 I think what made me the maddest was the abuse of the elk by some of the “bad men。” I am not sure why that toasted me the most， but it did。 The one item that made me laugh is how Joe upped his destruction of state vehicles。 Storm Watch will bring the reader on a fabulous journey。 You may need a seatbelt。 CJ Box’s newest book Storm Watch is a great read！！！ 。。。more

This is a nicely paced story until we find that the bad guy is not the right wing morons instigating a revolution but the federal government for mounting a sting against them。 What a crock。 Adios C。 J。 Box。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This story started strong but unfortunately took a wrong turn about midway in my opinion。 Box lost me as soon as he used the word libtard and then gave credence to ‘Deep State’ conspiracy theories。

Joe Pickett has long been a staple in the western/mystery genre。 Happily， C。 J。 Box has brought him back for a 23rd time in STORM WATCH， an exciting thriller set in Saddlestring， Wyoming。 A married game warden with three grown children and a dog named Daisy， Joe has solved his fair share of murders。 This time he has another chance to do his job， investigate a mysterious death and right several other wrongs。As a dangerous storm descends upon the town， Joe is tracking bloody prints from a wounded Joe Pickett has long been a staple in the western/mystery genre。 Happily， C。 J。 Box has brought him back for a 23rd time in STORM WATCH， an exciting thriller set in Saddlestring， Wyoming。 A married game warden with three grown children and a dog named Daisy， Joe has solved his fair share of murders。 This time he has another chance to do his job， investigate a mysterious death and right several other wrongs。As a dangerous storm descends upon the town， Joe is tracking bloody prints from a wounded elk that was hit by a car and gets permission to search the Double D ranch。 Aware that a prominent professor from the University of Wyoming has gone missing， Joe first finds the man’s vehicle on a mountainside and then his legs sticking out of an empty building full of fans and computers that emits a strange sound。 The professor was obviously murdered since the top of his head is open。 Then someone takes a shot at Joe。Joe questions the rancher who owns the thousands of acres that comprise Double D， but he gets nowhere。 Local law enforcement is not interested in the case thanks to the political power structure， which is made up of Governor Colter Allen， the FBI and extreme environmentalists。 The sheriff claims that no signs of a body or bloody remains were found at the scene。 Joe is told to mind his own business and stand down， and the governor berates him。 But sometimes even a game warden is called upon to do what he believes is right。 Fortunately Joe took photos of the dead man， indisputable proof that a homicide took place。Joe hooks up with his old pal， Nate Romanowski， a former government operative who is busy crypto mining to rebuild his falconry company。 He has a sketchy background and is always open to listening to nefarious schemes。 When he is approached by an extremist who wants him to join a group devoted to having Wyoming secede from the Union， he listens carefully but skeptically。 He does not trust the man or his mission。Another character who makes an appearance in STORM WATCH is Geronimo Jones， who helps Joe solve crimes and is involved in Nate’s crypto mining project。 The three men --- along with Joe’s oldest daughter， Sheridan， and his wife， Marybeth --- work together to solve the mysteries plaguing Saddlestring。 In the meantime， the storm is barreling down on the state， burying everything in snow。While working against the corruption that plagues Saddlestring， Joe remains true to his moral compass。 He and his faithful family and friends work in spite of those who plot against them so they can get to the bottom of this grisly murder and set the record straight。 His relationship with Nate is tested when the two men appear to be at odds regarding the best approach to righting the town’s wrongs。 This helps raise the level of suspense and makes for some compelling reading。C。 J。 Box has a stellar reputation as a mystery/thriller writer。 His characters are well-limned， his plot lines intersect flawlessly， and he expertly brings his various stories to a clear and shocking conclusion。 Fans and newcomers alike will not be disappointed with STORM WATCH。Reviewed by Barbara Lipkien Gershenbaum 。。。more
