Title: Move along little doggie
Review: CJ Box must be tired. I sure am.Box and Joe Pickett are done played out. Plot line: Joe Pickett gets involved in someone else's investigation. His family is threatened. His job is threatened. Joe doubts himself, because he's pretty sure, among other things, that his wife doubts him. Joe wrecks his truck. Joe's family is saved with the help of Nate Romanowski, Joe's wild friend who may -- or may not have -- gotten wild with Joe's wife.CJ Box' Joe Pickett has gone from refreshing, self-doubting (and self-aware) lawman to self-parody. Box seems tired of it all, recycling themes from earlier books without the taut suspense that made the others interesting. He even recycles villains and incidents.All in all, a forgettable effort. The only bright spot: I borrowed it from the library.
