Trophy Hunt

A Joe Pickett Novel

By: C. J. Box

Narrated by: David Chandler

It's an idyllic late-summer day in Saddlestring, Wyoming, and game warden Joe Pickett is fly-fishing with his two daughters when he stumbles upon the mutilated body of a moose. Whatever - or whoever - attacked the animal was ruthless: half the animal's face has been sliced away, the skin peeled back from the flesh. Shaken by the sight, Joe starts to investigate what he hopes in an isolated incident.

Days later, after the discovery of a small herd of mutilated cattle, Joe realizes this is something much more terrifying than he could have imagined. Local authorities are quick to label the attacks the work of a grizzly bear, but Joe knows otherwise. The cuts on the moose and the cattle were too clean, too precise, to have been made by jagged teeth. Are the animals only practice for a killer about to move on to another, more challenging prey?

Soon afterward, Joe's worst fears are confirmed. The bodies of two men are found within hours of each other, in separate locations, their wounds eerily similar to those found on the moose and cattle. There's a vicious killer, a modern-day Jack the Ripper, on the loose in Saddlestring - and it appears his rampage is just beginning.

He's game: solve another mystery with Joe Pickett.©2004 C. J. Box (P)2011 Recorded Books, LLC

..

Great series.

This is a good series if you like the main character to have flaws. Not everything is wrapped up at the end of each book with a neat bow. The narrator is fantastic.

GREAT

love the narrator, he's got a great Joe voice. He does all the characters very well. makes listener see what is going on. story line is good with twists n turns.

wonderful I can't stop reading c.j. box. the gam

game warden j Pickett is amazing. wonderful books. new author for me. read 3 so far.

Way too much para normal

This is not my favorite CJ box book. When you have to spend the last five chapters explaining the intricacies then you have made too many turns in the plot

Trophies?

This one was a little weird for Box. Hard to get into the characters. Suspenseful, as usual though.

gets off to a slow start

I've been enjoying the Joe Pickett book series. This book, however, seems to get off to a slow start and trudges along slowly until about halfway through. But that's just my opinion. I'm still looking forward to the next book in the series.

Very Good

I randomly read one of these because as a series it becomes repetitive. This one stood out as different and I really enjoyed it.

Excellent

Great book! Lots of storylines. Joe Pickett is a interesting character. Good reading performance by narrator

Creativeness of story

Didn’t think CJ Box could develop such a complex and creative story involving wildlife, ranches, oil / mining industry and challenges of a small town in Wyoming. But always with warm, real life family interactions. I’m now hooked on CJ Box stories! Gifted writer indeed!
