The Disappeared by C.J. Box
3.0
I usually really like Joe Pickett books, but this one was too much politics and smarmy people, not enough interesting outdoor wonder of nature. Typically the landscape and wildlife are a strong character in Box's books. Not so much this one.
I had the sense that there was a book due, but no inspiration for an interesting plotline.
That said, I think I've read everything Box has written, and even this one which kind of bored me and never caught me is still a solid 2.5.
If you've never read any of the Joe Pickett books, I recommend starting at the beginning of the series to follow the character development.
Additional notes after re-reading:
While I pretty much stand by my review above, I would rate the book a 3.5. Not quite qq 4 as
I';ve rated most every other Pickett novel I've read, but a solid 3.5.
