I thought it was a little slow at first but by the time we got the story line in view it turned out to be a very good read.

Draws you in completely. Can’t stop listening until the book is done.

Unfamiliar with geographical area, gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Story well told!

Good Pace. Well developed and clearly distinguishable character. Good continuity of character from previous works.

Excellent!

Absolutely wonderful!

This is my first listen for a C. J. Box novel. Its a good story but not too complex. The story was very predictable, but overall enjoyable.

Excited about this series

Great story. We love the backdrop of Montana and Yellowstone we live in West Yellowstone and it is like hearing a story of home

Thought provoking story.

Good

Could not be more based on stereotypes and nothing else. Hard to get through

Ultimately, this was good and SO SLOW to start & flesh out, in my opinion. On one hand, Joe Pickett's nature and personality are well formed early on and slowly the other characters start to do the same so the story gets better and better, coming to a anti-climactic finish - but a good one. The narration, on the other hand was not enjoyed as much, by me, almost to the point I stopped listening... but, the story caught me up and I finished. Maybe as I go through all the titles, I'll warm up to Mr. Chandler's narration but for this one, I am not a great fan.

Very good with some unexpected twists and well read

Very good book couldn't stop listening!

I very much enjoy the series and it was great to finally hear the first.

Can’t get enough I am hooked on this series

Amazing beginning of what looks to be a great series of books on the life of Joe Pickett very excited to hear the rest of these books and the narrator is amazing

Great story ☢️

good book!

Very entertaining

I like the storage, but it had a lot of nasty language that I did not care for And couldn’t recommend it because of that! Storyline was good characters were well portrayed!

Enjoyable and intriguing story of people, animals and people who love animals versus those people who love money. Well written, and well produced. I am looking forward to the next in this series. I haven’t gotten to love the characters in this family.

Great!

Very good book. Good characters. Really like this narrator, second series I've listened to. Can't wait to get started on 2nd book.

Slow to start , but a good storyline. Started the next book

I've really been enjoying this series

Loved the setting, the well developed characters and relationships and the depiction of political and cultural issues at play in the West.

Fantastic writer, awesome narrator., This is my second time listening to this series!

Really enjoyed the storyline and characters.

Will listen to more of this author

I was really hoping to like this. So I could start a new series. However, I found it one dimensional and lacked in complexity to provide excitement.

My first C. J. Box book. I thought it was very good. Story kept me interested and I enjoyed the characters. Narration was top notch in my opinion. Looking forward to the next in the series. Definitely recommend.

great listen. looking forward to more Joe Pickett.

Super slow start. Entertaining last 1/4

Enjoyable, kinda slow start, however ending was awesome!!!

I have just started reading CJ Box. So far I have really enjoyed them all. I love the storyline and the depth of characters.

Having just vacationed in lower Wyoming. I felt the descriptions spot on and loved the plot. It kept my engaged throughout.

really enjoyed this story and ghe narration was great!

I did not enjoy. The plot was impossible,, for me to get into

It was kind of boring not really a horror story. The build up was slow.

I enjoyed it. hes not the usual hero im used to. hes not a cop or Mr. action but it shows that if you push anyone too far they will do what they have to. I think I'd choose a different narrator though.
