I just finished reading Long Range, C.J. Box's latest Joe Pickett mystery. I went to hear Box (a fellow University of Denver alumni, I might add) discuss the book at Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstore, right before everything was closed due to the coronavirus, but didn't get a copy from the library until last week. In this latest Joe Pickett adventure, a gunman uses a long range rifle in an attempt to kill a local judge in Twelve Sleep County, a fictional Wyoming locale where Picket is a game warden, and who gets involved in investigating more serious crimes, too. The gunman misses, but hits the wife of the judge, who mobilizes all the law enforcement people in the county to find the perpetrator. I really enjoyed the book, and recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries and wants to learn about life in the mountains of Wyoming. Just don't move there. You'll be sorry.
