3 stars Taken from the book and Facebook description. "When a massive blast rocks the forests of Twelve Sleep County, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is called to the scene to help investigate the death of a colorful environmental activist. The case is wrapped up quickly, explained as an environmental publicity stunt gone wrong, but Joe isn't convinced. He soon discovers clues that suggest a deadly conspiracy–one that will test his courage, his survival skills, and his determination to “do the right thing” despite all costs."
The story held my attention but did lack some depth and backstory to see and understand the full picture. C. J. Box did not get overwhelming with twist and turns but had a couple to keep it a real mystery book. I did not see the reveal coming on who, what and why. I like Joe Pickett but he can be a little naive for a game warden but that also makes him likeable and down to earth. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
