LONG RANGE Joe Pickett, Book 20

Joe Pickett fans will be delighted that David Chandler is returning to narrate the newest installment in the series. Chandler portrays Pickett without embellishment; the Wyoming game warden is a straight shooter (literally and figuratively), loyal to his friends and family, and committed to upholding justice. At 50, Pickett is capable of handling almost everything and surprised by almost nothing--until a sniper takes out the judge's wife through their dining room window from 1600 yards away. Chandler portrays falconer Nate Romanowski with a gruff intensity that simmers beneath the surface; the former lone-wolf criminal is doing his best to live a quiet family life until he is suspected of being the sniper. Chandler provides zing for Joe's dreadful mother-in-law and well-balanced thoughtfulness for Joe's wife. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2020]
