Resumen del Editor

A riveting new novel from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author C. J. Box.

The ties that bind can burn you.

Former sheriff’s investigator Cassie Dewell is trying to start her life over as in private practice. She’s her own boss and answers to no one, and that’s just the way she likes it after the past few tumultuous years. All that certainty changes when an old friend calls in a favor: she wants Cassie to help exonerate a man accused of assaulting a young woman from an influential family.

Against her own better judgment, Cassie agrees. But out by the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana, twisted family loyalty runs as deep as the ties to the land, and there's always something more to the story. The Kleinsassers have ruled this part of Montana for decades, and the Iron Cross Ranch is their stronghold. They want to see Blake Kleinsasser, the black sheep of the family, put away forever for the assault. As Cassie attempts to uncover the truth, she must fight against a family whose roots are tangled and deadly—as well as the ghosts of her own past that threaten to bring her down.

With The Bitterroots, master storyteller C. J. Box delivers another searing novel of loyalty, lies, and lethal retribution.

Reseñas de la Crítica

2019, Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year, Long-listed

"What happens when you combine an acclaimed a C.J. Box novel with a terrific narration? A stellar audiobook like this one, narrated by Christina Delaine." —AudioFile

"Outstanding...Vividly etched characters and a realistic plot lift this outing, and the well-done Montana setting is a plus. Box remains at the top of his game." —Publishers Weekly

"Will render readers utterly immobilized until they've closed the book...Box has become the dominant mystery/thriller author of the mountain West." —Booklist

I think we all know a family like the Kleinsasser

I have read or listen to all of C.J. Box's books. his Joe Picket series provided me with a whole winter season of entertainment. I like the way Box developes his characters . Just recently I moved to Cassie Dewell series on audio versions. Box's books have been a way to escape the state of our daily lives. It wasn't until the last few chapters that I realized the Kleinsasser family was mirroring a family we have been trying to escape. I hope the real life family faces the same justice that C.J. Box deals out to the Kleinsasser. Finger crossed 10/18/20. GOTV.

title

Box wrote another good book with this one. The human characters are well-developed and relatable, if not all likable. There are great plot twists. As a former law enforcement officer, Cassie doesn’t want to work for a defense attorney.

loved it.

the narrator was the best. I really enjoyed listening to this book. I like to read so I didn't think would like to be read to. But I loved it. The narrator is great.

annoyed

The story was fast paced with many twist and turns. The main character annoyed a few times.

CJ box at his best

love this book, love the way it referred back to Cassie's work I'm the lizard King case.

Loved it

Box does it again! Cassie is a first rate investigator like her mentor coyt. Interesting characters and lots of twists and turns. Couldn't help but feel sorry for the oldest son but the others got their just rewards. The narrators staccato voice was grating at first but I eventually got wrapped up in the story and adjusted to it.

Bitter Taste

The ending needs major surgery. It almost seems that the author became bored with the book or needed to meet a deadline.
Not up to Box standards.
Evil women replacing dumber evil men is a battle that rings true.

Another C. J. Box engaging story

Great story along with a good performance by the reader. Really enjoyed, a recommended buy.

For A Change

I am a Joe Pickett fan. So I wanted to try a slight change of scenery. I enjoyed it very much. this is early in the series, but it has much potential for development. I will go back and read the earlier books of the series.
