Publisher's summary

The inspiration for the new ABC series Big Sky. Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel, the New York Times best-selling author of Back of Beyond and Breaking Point and the creator of the Joe Pickett series is back.

"If CJ Box isn't already on your list, put him there." (USA Today)

When two sisters set out across a remote stretch of Montana road to visit their friend, little do they know it will be the last time anyone might ever hear from them again. The girls - and their car - simply vanish. Former police investigator Cody Hoyt has just lost his job and has fallen off the wagon after a long stretch of sobriety. Convinced by his son and his former rookie partner, Cassie Dewell, he begins the drive south to the girls' last known location.

As Cody makes his way to the lonely stretch of Montana highway where they went missing, Cassie discovers that Gracie and Danielle Sullivan aren't the first girls who have disappeared in this area. This majestic landscape is the hunting ground for a killer whose viciousness is outmatched only by his intelligence. And he might not be working alone.

Time is running out for Gracie and Danielle...Can Cassie overcome her doubts and lack of experience and use her innate skill? Can Cody Hoyt battle his own demons and find this killer before another victim vanishes on the highway?

Another great novel by CJ Box

I recommend this novel to fans of CJ Box. Great character development and descriptions. This was my 1st novel by Box away from the Joe Pickett series.

Riveting

My husband and I listened to this book while on a road trip. Very suspenseful at times. The characters were good, bad and very bad. We are big fans of CJ Box!!

Big Sky based upon book

I really enjoyed hearing how the book differed from the TV show. I really enjoyed the show looking forward to each episode. The book did not disappoint.

What a ride


I found this book difficult to stop listening to, although it is darker than the other books I’ve read by C.J. Box, he managed to cove this topic without graphic violence which made the book enjoyable to read while covering a unenjoyable topic. The Hoyt/Dewell working relationship, while rocky, did compliment each other. Hoyt’s son Justin as well as the sisters Danelle and Gracie were also prominent characters with level headed Gracie taking care of her big sister again. There is a huge surprise twist that altered not only this book but future books in the series. It is well read by Mr Gram, worth a credit.

Very Disappointing

To kill off a very interesting lead character in the second book of a series. I'm done with it. There just wasn't enough there to keep my interest after that.

A little too dark.

Characters needed to make the series of books into an interesting story to get attached to are discarded with abandon.

OMG!

What a well written, well narrated tale! I will never look at a truckstop or highway rest area the same way again. Every woman who drives long distances alone should read this. And trust no one.
