Praise for The Disappeared
"Joe Pickett, the conscientious game warden in these rugged
novels... he shows the tough-and-tender qualities that make him
such a great guy to have on your side."—New York Times
"...tightly crafted story with a sense of place. Box makes
you smell that sawmill burner and feel the cold of a Wyoming
blizzard as Pickett struggles through the snow to solve the mystery
of Cowboy Kate."—Denver Post
"[A] slow-burn thriller ... one of the most deliberate and
sure-footed in the series. In many ways it is a roots novel, a
throwback to the earliest Pickett books, with its environmental
themes and overlapping plot lines ... the threats are subtle, the
mystery more compelling."—Arizona Republic
“It’s difficult to come up with new superlatives to describe C. J.
Box’s Joe Pickett series, but his latest, The Disappeared, makes it
a whole lot easier…thriller writing at its very best, as big and
broad as the Wyoming landscape painted in shades mixed perfectly
between dark and light.”—Providence Journal
"This page-turner leads you down one path before tossing you onto
another...And just when you think the breathless action is over,
Box bows out with a cliffhanger that leaves you with fingers
clutching your book, “Arrrgh!” on your lips."— Daily Oklahoman
"Box has crafted another thriller with many surprising twists and
turns...The Disappeared is a gripping thriller that should appeal
to readers who love tales from the Wild West"— The Durango
Herald
“The eighteenth installment of this hugely popular series delivers
everything fans want: a compelling mystery, high-stakes action in a
beautiful setting, and enjoyably humorous interaction between
characters they’ve come to know and love. There’s a reason we keep
coming back for more.”—Booklist
“Superlative...[T]he book’s key environmental issue enhances the
satisfying conclusion. Also welcome are Box’s underrated touches of
wry humor, generally overlooked as one of his strengths. Series
fans and newcomers alike will be rewarded.”—Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
“It's a treat to see Joe's daughter pulled into working with her
father; there's an unexpected role for his reptilian mother-in-law,
the imperishable Missy Vankueren; a false lead he follows will have
you whooping with laughter....The final pages find Box's hard-used
hero both triumphantly successful and in deep trouble once again in
perhaps the most finely balanced conclusion in this rewarding
series.”—Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Vicious Circle
"A compelling tale that also rings with emotional
resonance.”—Associated Press
“The unexpected, suspenseful turns will keep readers
enthralled. Another winner for Box.”—Library
Journal (starred review)
“Bracingly familiar pleasures expertly packaged...first-timers will
be intrigued and fans amply rewarded.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This outing is the most suspenseful yet in this world-class
series, setting a new standard for Box.”—Publishers
Weekly (starred review)
“We’ve noted previously how the fully fleshed family dynamic is one
of this series’ enduring strengths, and that pays dividends here as
we viscerally feel Joe’s fear for his loved ones and his
powerlessness to protect them. Box masterfully tightens the
suspense until we’re caught in a vicious circle of our own and
unable to stop reading.”—Booklist
“C. J. Box is back and better than ever.”—Providence Journal
