I was disappointed with the story - only a 3 star rating. It just wasn't up to the standards Box has created with previous books in this series. I have read many of Box's books and all of the Pickett series. I will continue to read his…

This series is excellent. Each story leads into the next and it’s very easy to care about most of the characters. I recommend it if you enjoy action and unusual characters, have an interest in the climate and the color of the mountain West…

I've enjoyed most of the other Joe Pickett books, but this one was a big disappointment. There were essentially two separate plot lines going on (the missing English woman, and the two men who repeatedly brought something and put it in the…

I was happy that Sheridan Pickett the eldest daughter was helping her dad Joe on a case again. I enjoyed learning about the dude ranch which the rich visit for a western experience. It seems Missy, Joe's odious mother in law is back and…

I like his style of straightforward writing, it has a nice flow. I didn't let myself get hung up on fact vs presentation. Forest Service, Fish and Game in nearly all states are considered law enforcement (look up the requirements) and…

Not for anyone who understands how the world really works. Probably better in teen section.

I enjoyed this uncomplicated, compact plot with just a handful of characters. It's a mystery story with a game warden as the detective who sets out to find out what happened to a well known wealthy woman who was visiting a guest dude ranch…

I've read a lot of his books and I really enjoyed this one. The story line was interesting, the pace was good and his descriptions of the cold Wyoming Winter and landscapes make you feel like you're there. His Joe Pickett character is well…

This is another serviceable novel in the Pickett series, and has all the usual characters, a few stories and some education, too. I will read any C J Box novel, although he is not spectacular. Over the years, his character has remained…

Another great Box read. C.J. Box never fails to deliver. One of the best suspense writers today.

This was one of C.J. Box's better ones! A good "Joe Pickett" mystery, fast paced and full of interesting new characters and some old ones, including the quirky Nate. The storyline also weaves in some very current issues such as the…

This was a disappointing read. I found myself skipping pages to get to somewhere interesting. I was also able to put down the book and leave it for another day, something that never happened with Box's other books. The story didn't have…

This is the 18th book in the excellent series about Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett. You may not think that a game warden leads a very interesting life, but Joe Pickett certainly does! In Wyoming, at least, game wardens are part of law…

This book got me interested from the start. It was different, fresh, in an isolated location I'm not familiar with, and with great descriptions where the cold seemed to seep through while reading the story. However, towards the end, a…

THE DISAPPEARED by C. J. Box is one his best Joe Pickett novels yet. I completely get what other reviewers are saying about it taking awhile to get to the main action. But to me, what was going on was interesting and weird enough to…

This is book 18 so Joe Pickett, family and friends are well established. It's January and the new governor sends Joe to Saratoga to temporarily replace Steve Pollock who suddenly left the job. A famous British PR Head, Kate…

I have read all of the Joe Pickett novels in the order they were published. Like all the other C.J. Box readers I have grown up with the Pickett family, his friend Nate Romanowski, Governor Roulon, and a host of characters. In 'The…

It's a good, but not great book by C. J. Box. On about page 70, I remember thinking, "When is the story going to start?" Up to that point it was just filler. Finally the story began and it was good until the end. The conclusion was…

We haven't missed a book yet that involved Joe Pickett, his family and his friend Nate. At first it was slow but it quickly became a thrill to see what happens. We love these books and this one is going to be a must read. Can't wait till…

Ahh. Getting to read a new book about Joe Pickett and his family is like visiting with one of my favorite old friends. (And we mustn't forget Nate!) It's been an interesting journey seeing Sheridan grow up from a 7-year old to a young…

This is exceptionally entertaining. Maybe his best yet.

Joe Pickett novels by Box are always a good read. The Disappeared is a very good read. Just enough twists, odd turns and interesting characters to keep the plot clipping along. I liked reading about Joe's daughter, Sheridan, who is now old…
