Is it best to read the Joe Pickett series in order? Thanks!

John Jolinski I believe reading a series in order is preferable if it's about a recurring character, such as Jack Reacher, Lucas Davenport and Joe Pickett. However,…moreI believe reading a series in order is preferable if it's about a recurring character, such as Jack Reacher, Lucas Davenport and Joe Pickett. However, like many readers I learn about these characters from friend recommendations and read one out of sequence, which was the case of the characters mentioned here and those such as Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller, Virgil Flowers, The Memory Man and Scott Harveth. Consequently, I have been busy checking with BAM, B&N and Amazon to purchase all of those editions. I have read all of the John Sandford Prey and Virgil Flowers novels, Michael Connelly's Hary Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer novels, Lee Child's Reacher novels, and now am reading through Joe Pickett, just finishing Below Zero. Then there is the Alex Cross and Lincoln Rhyme novels, as well. (less)

Curious if there is profanity in this book at all? I am not offended by it, per se, but I know of others who are who may not want to read if there is profanity.

Mindy There is some profanity. But there are several nude scenes, references to pedophilia, and some child abuse that could be triggers.

I was hoping Missy got killed in this issue....One can hope. Who are your favorite characters and who do you despise the most? I'm really happy that most of the bad people meet the fate they deserve in CJ's books.

They make a story line around this woman who really has nothing going on. A singer? Come on.(less)
