Another good outing in the Joe Pickett series. In this one, Joe's mother-in-law, Missy, is accused of shooting her husband and hoisting him to the top of a wind turbine. This is Missy's 5th husband as she has made her way up in the world. Her husband, Earl Alden, has played the system to make his millions and Missy has found out that he planned to divorce her. But is Missy being framed? Could she have actually had the strength to hoist the body to the top of the wind turbine? Joe sets out to determine if Missy is guilty and along the way learns a lot about wind farms, government subsidies, and how the system can be played without any benefit to landowners or consumers. In a parallel story line, Nate Romanowski runs into tragedy and is seeking revenge. These two stories come together at the end along with a surprise ending I didn't see coming. Another strong recommendation for this one.
