Vicious Circle is CJ Box’s 24th novel and
the 17th book in the saga of Joe Pickett, a Wyoming Game Warden. While this is
a novel that could be read without having read the prior Pickett novels, I
think the best enjoyment comes from having gone through the character development
of Joe, his family, and the bad guys as written in the prior books. In this
one, Box furthers the story of the hostility and violence between Joe and the
sociopath Dallas Cates and Dallas’ crazy mother. Dallas has been released from
prison for his prior crimes and aims for his revenge at Joe and his family. Box
brings back the unparalleled outdoorsman Nate Romanowski and Joe’s
mother-in-law and ultimate gold digger Missy, the latter who is now married to
Marcus Hand, Box’s version of the famous Wyoming lawyer, Gerry Spence, who gets
Dallas out of jail another time. Vicious
Circle has another great plot!
If you are a fan
of crime novels, read CJ Box. He is one of the 10 guys in my power rotation of
authors, and he has kept this series thriving with another A+ thriller. Thanks to
NetGalley for this prepublication read. The book is due out in 10 days, on
3/21/17.
