Publisher Description
Christina Delaine's spot-on performance ensures that Box's story and dialogue are as entertaining as ever." —AudioFile on C.J. Box's The Bitterroots #1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box's Treasure State finds Cassie Dewell in Montana on the trail of a con man. Private Investigator Cassie Dewell’s business is thriving, and her latest case puts her on the hunt for a slippery con man who’s disappeared somewhere in the “treasure state”. A wealthy Florida widow has accused him of absconding with her fortune, and wants Cassie to find him and get it back. The trail takes Cassie to Anaconda, Montana, a quirky former copper mining town that’s the perfect place to reinvent yourself. As the case develops, Cassie begins to wonder if her client is telling her everything. On top of that, Cassie is also working what's easily one of her strangest assignments ever. A poem that promises buried treasure to one lucky adventurer has led to a cutthroat competition and five deaths among treasure-hunters. But Cassie’s client doesn’t want the treasure. Instead, he claims to be the one who hid the gold and wrote the poem. And he’s hired Cassie to try to find him. Between the two cases, Cassie has her hands full. In Montana, a killer view can mean more than just the scenery, and Cassie knows much darker things hide behind the picturesque landscape of Big Sky Country. Treasure State, C. J. Box's highly anticipated follow-up to The Bitterroots, is full of more twists and turns than the switchbacks through the Anaconda Range. A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

"I was completely hooked from the first sentence to the last by this latest novel by C. J. Box. This wasn't very surprising since I've loved all of his previous novels. The plot was fast-paced and the setting is also beautifully described throughout; I could almost smell the pine trees and feel the crisp mountain air as I listened to each chapter unfold. The narrator, Christina Delaine, does an excellent job of bringing the story to you with her captivating voice and delivering the dialogue in a believable manner. Her performance makes it easy to become immersed in the story, making you feel as if you're actually there during each scene.Another thing that I really liked a lot about this novel was its attention to detail; every character has a unique back story that unfolds throughout their individual arcs, which helps create a vivid landscape for both readers and listeners alike. Additionally, Box does an exceptional job at weaving several themes throughout his narrative such as family relationships, loyalty, trustworthiness, and courage - all of which make for an engaging listening experience!"

" Desert Star captured my attention from start to finish. Not only does this thrilling story have a captivating plot and characters, but it is also narrated by three amazing actors, Peter Giles, Titus Welliver, and Christine Lakin. Each one brings their own unique flavor to the story and helps bring the story to life. The narration really shines on this book. Peter Giles has an authoritative presence that makes him perfect for narrating the suspenseful scenes while Titus Welliver provides a deep, gruff voice for some of the more grizzled characters in the story. Christine Lakin adds her own unique flair with her smooth, calming tones. This trio of talented narrators/actors work together beautifully to create a truly immersive listening experience. Summing up, Desert Star is an incredible audiobook that blends storytelling with excellent production values and top-notch narration from some great actors. If you're looking for thrilling mystery with plenty of suspense then look no further – Desert Star delivers on all fronts! "
