'Box remains square on target throughout this superb debut.'-Booklist

I thought it was a little slow at first but by the time we got the story line in view it turned out to be a very good read.

Draws you in completely. Can’t stop listening until the book is done.

Unfamiliar with geographical area, gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Story well told!

Profile Avatar Pedro P. Nov 2020

Good Pace. Well developed and clearly distinguishable character. Good continuity of character from previous works.

Absolutely wonderful!

Profile Avatar Jim H. May 2019

This is my first listen for a C. J. Box novel. Its a good story but not too complex. The story was very predictable, but overall enjoyable.

Excited about this series

Profile Avatar Rich Jun 2021

Great story. We love the backdrop of Montana and Yellowstone we live in West Yellowstone and it is like hearing a story of home

Profile Avatar Kyle K. Mar 2025

Ultimately, this was good and SO SLOW to start & flesh out, in my opinion. On one hand, Joe Pickett's nature and personality are well formed early on and slowly the other characters start to do the same so the story gets better and better, coming to a anti-climactic finish - but a good one. The narration, on the other hand was not enjoyed as much, by me, almost to the point I stopped listening... but, the story caught me up and I finished. Maybe as I go through all the titles, I'll warm up to Mr. Chandler's narration but for this one, I am not a great fan.

Very entertaining

Profile Avatar Anna Apr 2024

I like the storage, but it had a lot of nasty language that I did not care for And couldn’t recommend it because of that! Storyline was good characters were well portrayed!

Profile Avatar Dwgoetz Feb 2024

Enjoyable and intriguing story of people, animals and people who love animals versus those people who love money. Well written, and well produced. I am looking forward to the next in this series. I haven’t gotten to love the characters in this family.

Profile Avatar Maree G. Apr 2023

I was really hoping to like this. So I could start a new series. However, I found it one dimensional and lacked in complexity to provide excitement.

Profile Avatar Michael Hayes Feb 2023

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2022

I did not enjoy. The plot was impossible,, for me to get into

Profile Avatar Melissa M. Feb 2021

It was kind of boring not really a horror story. The build up was slow.

Profile Avatar Debi A. Jan 2021

I enjoyed it. hes not the usual hero im used to. hes not a cop or Mr. action but it shows that if you push anyone too far they will do what they have to. I think I'd choose a different narrator though.
