A review by scribepub
Boxed by Richard Anderson
[Anderson is] at his best when describing the routines of life on the land ... Anderson’s style makes for easy reading, describing the landscape and probing into Dave’s past in short, unadorned sentences.
Margot Lloyd, Adelaide Advertiser
Australian author Richard Anderson is a farmer from NSW and his experience of life on the land really shines through in his second rural crime novel Boxed. It's a no nonsense mystery thriller with an interesting premise and fast paced plot … I thoroughly recommend Boxed by Richard Anderson to crime and mystery lovers everywhere.
Tracey Allen, Carpe Librum
I love that contemporary issues are woven into this mystery, that there is hope and a wonderful sense of community, that the characters are richly drawn and empathetic and that the mystery element shines brightly. I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Richard Anderson has a talent for storytelling that is mesmerising. I cannot wait to read what he writes next.
Reading, Writing and Riesling
Richard Anderson is fast becoming one of the best crime fiction writers to take on the Aussie Outback ... Boxed is a lot of fun; the characters are great and distinctly Australian, while the place-setting envelopes the reader in a unique rural Australian farming community.

Boxed is original, idiosyncratic, atmospheric and satisfying.
Pile by the Bed
This is a clever and accomplished feat of storytelling with a satisfyingly gruesome climax, and a skilful evocation of Australian rural life.
Kerryn Goldsworthy, The Saturday Age
Written by a farmer from northern NSW, Boxed brings to life rural Australia and all its characters in a rollicking, and at times heartbreaking, mystery.
Gail Barnsley, Daily Telegraph
As with Richard Anderson’s earlier book Retribution, Boxed is rural crime fiction of the highest calibre.

[Richard Anderson’s] really at his best when describing the routines of life on the land.
Margot Lloyd, Mercury
A carefully and cleverly plotted crime novel centred around the deeper theme of what it is to endure paralysing loss.
