Critic reviews

"Edgar-finalist Box...expertly evokes Wyoming's landscape, wildlife, people and politics." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Box puts on a hell of a show." ( Booklist)

I loved it!

I loved it just like all the other books in the series. Always a great read.

Emotional, real, this is drama from life.

there was a few time I wanted to knock out a few %#@*&%*. the story is well written, plot twists are real.

Great Story

Like all of C J Box's books, this one held my attention from beginning to end!

The narrator needs to work on his Southern accent.

I like the narrator in this series, but as a Southerner, his accent is lacking. I've never met anyone with an accent like that.

As usual

The description of Wyoming was amazing.
Another great book about Joe. Nate reappears just in time.

I love Joe Pickett and the awesome character development of master craftsman C J Box!

Really enjoying reading all of CJ Box’s work! He is a great storyteller.
Thank you sincerely Mr. Box.

Invested in the Picketts & So Much More

I’m enjoying this series and highly recommend it. Until my 5th decade I’d not traveled past the Mississippi River except for work. I now visit the PNW yearly and the beautiful state and National Parks often.
The writing is beautifully vivid and descriptive.
The character development and storylines have been excellent. (which is often lacking in LEO/procedurals)
The mysteries are tight with some twists both surprising and worth the ride.
These huge and stunning backdrops of mountain ranges, fields, rivers and wildlife are so well written.
Don’t let all my gushing fool you—your heart will be pounding and the violence can be graphic & break your heart. This is not a “cozy mystery”—these books have “True Grit”.

The narrator does an excellent job keeping MANY characters distinctive and clear. (Thanks also for not making the women sound insipid with whiny falsettos or the men monotonous with depth.)

Gripping story

Flawed people, evil, twisted intentions. Honor, family, persistence, love. This was a difficult listen. But I will continue to follow the Joe Pickett saga.

As a Dad of a daughter I love this series

So far this is my favorite book in the series. The narrator is perfect for the setting. Also the descriptions of the Wyoming landscape are great!

Really a great listen

Would you consider the audio edition of In Plain Sight to be better than the print version?

The way the author can discribe the simplest things for a eletric heater to the dust created by a spooked Pronghorn. C.J.Box makes the book very educational, very entertaining and suppensfull. Can't to listen to the next in the series. Recomend highly if you like to hunt and fish or concerned with the issues of saving the wilderness.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, Nate adds an edgy side to the story

Which character – as performed by David Chandler – was your favorite?

Nate,

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes if possible. A great traveling book. Still great to listen in 10 to 20 minute intervals if you can shut it off. I will wait in my parking stall to hear what happens

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend it . The way he describes the sun, wind, light and feeling of the environment is amazing.
