Description

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. Don’t miss the JOE PICKETT series—now streaming on Paramount+ 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 in the group that fought to Hitler’s Eagles Nest retreat in the Alps—and one of them took the Fuhrer’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.

  • Worth Reading Despite some of the Negative Reviews
Format: Kindle
I'm sure that if you are looking at reviews of the 22nd book in the series, you are already familiar with Joe Pickett and the cast of characters that CJ Box brings to the series. So I won't rehash all that you already know. I will say that this is another fun and exciting addition to the series. In people's negative reviews you will see that many are upset that CJ Box spoke negatively about some of the protests that were taking place over the past few years. I too was worried that this book was trying to make a political statement. However, if you read carefully, you will notice that while he does poke at antifa, he shows respect to the BLM movement and makes it clear that they have a point and deserve a different kind of consideration than antifa. I am a democrat and support the BLM movement and will clearly say, I'm not offended by anything that is said in this book. Anyone who is offended by anything in this book should not be 22 books into this series. Having said all of that... I love the Pickett family. I love the way that CJ Box writes. I could read a million of these books. Also, he's been foreshadowing that eventually, Sheridan will get in on the action in a bigger way. I think that will be a welcome next step for the series. The only thing that I didn't like about this book is that I finished it too quick and am now forced to wait another year for the next one. ... show more

  • Gotta love C.J. Box's Joe Pickett novels
Format: Hardcover
SHADOWS REEL is the twelfth C.J. Box-penned novel (and the ninth in the “Joe Pickett” series) I’ve read. It’s a solid link in the series but I didn’t experience any “Oh wow” moments. There are two independent storylines, almost like the book alternates between two novellas. One storyline centers around Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett and his wife, Marybeth, endangered by two Hungarian fascists. The premise is a local resident leaves a photo album of a high ranking politician in Hitler’s Germany at the local library where Marybeth is head librarian. The two Hungarians (brothers) will do what it takes, including murder, to get that photo album. The story occurs over Thanksgiving (which was an unexpected delight for me since I read it over Thanksgiving). To celebrate, Joe and Marybeth’s three daughters join their parents, giving regular readers a chance to catch up on the daughters’ doings. (For newcomers, the Joe Pickett novels follow the daughters from childhood to now being in college (one) or working (two); and often are players in the storylines.) The second storyline chronicles Joe’s friend’s, Nate Romanowski, quest to retrieve his valuable falcons from the man who stole them from him (Nate, who at one time was not especially law abiding, is now a family man with a thriving bird eradication business using his falcon “Air Force.”) Nate and another falconer named Geronimo Jones track the bad guy from Wyoming to Seattle. Also involved are somewhat incompetent “antifa” protesters (who are portrayed as rich white kids who despise capitalism but freak out when they are separated from their cellphones). At certain parts of the book, CJ Box reproduces two or three lines from a poem by William Butler Yeats titled “The Second Coming.” My favorite line from the poem is “The best lack all convictions, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” I’m not sure how much the poem excerpts add to the story, but CJ Box obviously thinks they do. The title of the book, Shadows Reel, is taken from the Yeats poem. I researched what Shadows Reel means, but all I got were references to this novel. Two characters briefly introduced in the previous Joe Pickett novel, Sheriff Todd Tibbs who came out of retirement for a job he mistakenly thought wouldn’t require much effort on his part, and the new county prosecutor, AnnaBelle Griffith, return. Annabelle doesn’t do much in the story but Marybeth Pickett likes her, so I assume she’ll be around for a few books at least. My rating: 4 stars (my feeling the otherwise solid book is two novellas gussied up, with no “wow” moments.) ... show more

  • Nate on a mission to get his falcons back. Marybeth gets a nazi photo album at the library
Format: Kindle
Nate and Geronimo go after Axel Solidad to get Nates falcons. Alex is trying to spew hate across America because of how the government threw him away during his special forces assignment. Marybeth gets a package dropped off by a man at her library. It turns out to be a nazi photo album. Two bad guys come to steal the photo album and the bodies start to pile up in both storylines. Nate and Joe partner up to resolve the problems. Another great story. Keep them coming! ... show more
