I recently finished reading The Bitterroots, C.J. Box's most recent mystery novel. The story follows Bozeman, Montana private investigator Cassie Dewell as she investigates rape charges against the black sheep of a wealthy Montana ranching family. Dewell, a former police officer in both North Dakota and Montana, has her hands full as she discovers that the isolated county where the ranch is located is entirely controlled by that family, and continuing her investigation will endanger her life. In writing this book, Box takes a break from his more famous Joe Pickett series, but the result is a very good thriller. Box always writes a good story, and I really enjoyed this book. I heartily recommend it, and suggest that you pick up a copy from your local library or independent bookstore today.
