Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author C. J. Box's Below Zero is the 10th novel featuring Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett.

The telephone calls from her stepdaughter April send chills down the spine of Joe's daughter Sherry. Wasn't April murdered six years ago in a bloody massacre? Wondering how this youthful caller knows details only April could know, Sherry becomes confused while Joe grows suspicious. Is the caller April - or are Joe and his family victims of a cruel hoax?

Excellent as always

Another great read. More only regret is that C.J. Box doesn't write fast enough.

CJ Box fans won't be disappointed.

What did you love best about Below Zero?

I love the geography/location and the gentle balance of politics and humanity.

Have you listened to any of David Chandler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I would rate all his books 4-5 for the enjoyment factor alone.

Any additional comments?

Sometimes the family drama/involvement is a little distracting. I enjoy the characters but sometimes they seem to become "fillers"--a little too much bulk. I love a good mystery but just don't need the whole family in on it.

I adore Joe Pickett!

C J Box creates wonderful, complex characters that you'd love to meet (well except for Nate, he's kind of scary). He does an amazing job of winding together the threads of a story and weaving in parts of past tales that you are drawn in completely. I highly
recommend his books!

Best in the series so far!

Below Zero was a thrilling read with unexpected twists and turns. I’ve visited Wyoming and the descriptions drop me back into the state once more.

Good plot, good writing, good narration

Once again, C. J. Box has delivered to us a wonderful novel that translates well into audio. "Below Zero" has a daring twist for these environmentally-conscious times: an environmentalist bad guy. I don't know if the conceit works, entirely, since the bad guy is doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons. Plus, he has enlisted his father to help him with his environmental extremist project; convincing his father that doing so will somehow redeem him from past wrongs. (The "Below Zero" of the title refers not to temperature, but to the carbon footprint that humans inflict upon the world.) I don't think that this father-son conceit completely succeeds either. For those two reasons I have docked one star from my rating of "Below Zero." Otherwise, I like this audiobook a lot, as I have liked all of C. J. Box's previous novels. He creates wonderful characters -- especially his main character Joe Pickett, and Joe's best friend Nate Romanowski: two very different men whom we like for very different reasons. As with Nevada Barr's, Tony Hillerman's, and William Kent Krueger's novels, the land itself plays as important a part in the story as any of the human characters. Anyone who loves the North Country will love C. J. Box's novels. David Chandler does a commendable job of narrating the story, providing good vocal distinction between the different characters.
