'Page-turning suspense'
- Book Munch
'Game warden Joe Pickett may be Box's main man, but Cassie is equally compelling... Box has become the dominant mystery/thriller author of the mountain West - and deservedly so.'
- Booklist
'Box's characters are well developed, his writing is vivid, the tension runs high, and the plot unfolds at a rapid pace.'
- Associated Press
'C.J. Box is the crime fiction bard of American's northern plain states.'
- Toronto Star
'C.J. Box has never lacked in talent for writing rugged frontier-type heroes, like Joe Pickett and Nate Romanowski, who've helped define the post-modern Western. His Cassie Dewell character is all that and more.'
- Providence Journal
'Cassie Dewell is a complex and multi-faceted protagonist who is one of the more interesting characters to emerge from the thriller genre over the past couple of years.'
