10/24/14 What did I think of this book? I thought that this is a very well written book, from what I have read. So far, The Pickett family is back in their home in Saddlstring, Wyoming. They receive a weird phone call from someone who claims to be their daughter, April. Fact is, she died 6 years ago in a riot. Joe and Sheridan are shaken up about it, and they read the messages to see if it is true. I definitely think that is a good book, and I would recommend this book to the avid mystery/murder book reader. Or Kevin. I didn't find any quotes to be touching or funny. Below Zero - Joe Pickett #8 - #9 in the Joe Pickett series. Pickett is a Wyoming game warden who has a penchant for attracting trouble. 6 years earlier (Winterkill (2003)), his adopted daughter, April, was in a mobile home blown up during an FBI raid on a survivalist camp. Now his daughter Sheridan is getting text messages from someone claiming to be April. This novel starts with segments from the point-of-view of a Chicago gangster and his enviro-terrorist son - and I found it far-fetched and tough going. Things greatly improve when Joe's falconer friend Nate Romanowski gets involved in the latter part of the book and Joe and Nate have to pay cat-and-mouse with a hostile FBI agent.
What do You think about Below Zero (2009)?
Interesting perspective on how some people are trying to offset the effects of global warming.
