About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Savage Run by C.J. Box, read by David Chandler.

A thrilling listen set in the American West from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.

No way forward? No way back? Your time is up when you reach Savage Run.

Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett is called to a bizarre crime scene deep within the forests of Twelve Sleep County. Famous eco-activist Stewie Woods has been killed in an explosion, along with his new bride and ten head of cattle. The case is wrapped up far too quickly: an environmental publicity stunt gone wrong. But what is the millionaire rancher who owned the cattle hiding? And why is Joe’s wife Marybeth receiving mysterious phone calls from someone claiming to be Stewie Woods? Joe’s search for the truth leads him ever deeper into the wilderness of the Bighorn Mountains. With two unlikely allies at his side, and two hired killers on his heels, Joe can’t avoid the legendary Savage Run – a treacherous, isolated canyon with no crossing…

The characters building, set in an area which I know slightly and like, I can see why the author has such a following. Look forward to the next in the series.

There is something extra special about this series featuring Joe Pickett, his wife and children as Joe goes about his duties as a game warden in Wyoming. Unfortunately, danger seems to find him as he tries to keep the peace between the hunters and ranch owners.

Joe Pickett is a favorite, love the TV series and as a main character he's a good fit, you wanna hear about him and his family. CJ Box knows his stuff, and writes a thriller with suspense and action, but sometimes he gets a bit too "butch" for my liking, and I kind of lose interest. The performance is fine, but of the kind that makes this book more like an action experience than a thriller. Joe reads better when the story allows him to interact more with Mary Beth and the girls, this story, though still entertaining, doesn't.
