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 twist on the true story of Forest Fenn's treasure with Cassie Dewell tracking down the anonymous author. In the process, she takes down a bad Sheriff and another bad guy. Cassie is becoming one of my favorite characters to read about because she feels like a real person who solves crimes. This book was a fun read and I want another one pretty soon.

Liked Kyle's return

Maybe it's silly, but I LOVED the Big Sky TV series so much I'm searching for all of the books which may have influenced it. This isn't one of them. I do love the Cassie and Kyle characters. I wish both had been closely followed in the TV series.

Entertaining

Cassie Newell is a relatively new character for me. As a PI, Cassie gets cases that put her in danger. In this story I don’t see how Cassie made the jump from only clues, she still didn’t know who was the one to suddenly picking the right person. I don’t know how the Under Sheriff got his job, what with his anger and prejudices. Not up to the level Joe Pickett has earned.

Love Box Stories

I’m not sure if I ever felt conflicted about weather or not I liked a CJ Box novel. I simply love his storytelling and writing. Another winner. Love the fact that he is introducing characters from one series into another series. Love it!

Typical Box!

Great read. CJBox continues to exploit the region to the benefit of the reader. In addition, he ably knits the current events, social status and the political environment into the story. At the same time he constantly reaches back to maintain the legacy of Dewell.

Terrible narration

I always leave positive reviews for CJ Box but the narrator for this book was so bad I couldn’t finish the book.

great book

this was a very enjoyable listen CJ box really delivers. the narrator was awesome and I really look forward to listening to more of CJ box

Another great book

a very good book that keeps ya guessing all the way to the end.

Best Cassie Dewell novel yet!

I have always loved everything CJ Box. I like the Cassie Dewell series though the Lizard King was a bit too creepy. Now the Lizard King is gone and this book was just perfect. Mystery, danger but without all the creepiness!
