“After 25 novels in the series, you might give an author leeway to take their foot off the gas a little. Not CJ Box, who goes at it hell-for-leather, taking no prisoners in a book that goes from zero to 60 in two paragraphs or less . . . Sleep deprivation could be on the cards though, because this author’s writing style will keep you reading, reading and reading until the final full stop.” —Crime Fiction Lover
