Another great C. J. Box story with several subplots, wonderful characters, a tremendous setting in Yellowstone park and a mysterious killer in the end. Box’s ability to connect the dots and tell a truly engaging story keeps the reader engaged and turning the pages.

When reading a thriller novel, nothing is more frustrating than unanswered questions, or plot lines that lead nowhere. I was gratified to find neither situation with “Back of Beyond” . CJ Box writes a tight story, and is a pleasure to read. This tale had a lot of plot lines, and I don’t seem to find any dead ends in this story.

Loved this book . Good group of characters. Definitely recommend this book to everyone

Ending was exceptional

I liked the characters. Cody is a bomb waiting to go off but he just keeps under control enough to be effective but not get in trouble

Box is awesome.

I loved Mr. Box’s Joe Pickett series, and was looking forward to more clever story telling, but “Back of Beyond” reads like a totally different author wrote this book. It’s wordy, the dialogue is sophomoric, the plot develops in a very unrealistic way. If you want a good story, concise editing, believable characters, then read the Joe Pickett series. If you want a bloated, B-movie style book with gratuitous violence, goofy characters, plus wolves and grizzlies behaving strangely (never allowed in the Joe Pickett books) then this book is for you.

My first book read from C J Box, this book was absolutely amazing and I was intrigued throughout the whole story. Now I’m starting the Joe Pickett series. Box is an amazing author and I’m glad I found his books.

Absolutely loved this story! The story started out slow. I was indecisive at first. I am so glad that I kept reading. Because it was C. J. Box as the author—won me over—to keep reading. I am so glad I did. Cody Hoyt kept the intrigue—suspense on edge! Rogue cop—Sometimes, one has to NOT play by the rules! If you find you are unsure, like I did, keep reading. You will be so glad you did. 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

Really good read, enjoyed it very much but then again I like almost all of his stories 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
