Praise for Vicious Circle
“The unexpected, suspenseful turns will keep readers
enthralled. Another winner for Box.”—Library Journal (starred
review)
“Bracingly familiar pleasures expertly packaged...first-timers will
be intrigued and fans amply rewarded.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This outing is the most suspenseful yet in this world-class
series, setting a new standard for Box.”—Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
“We’ve noted previously how the fully fleshed family dynamic is one
of this series’ enduring strengths, and that pays dividends here as
we viscerally feel Joe’s fear for his loved ones and his
powerlessness to protect them. Box masterfully tightens the
suspense until we’re caught in a vicious circle of our own and
unable to stop reading.”—Booklist
“C. J. Box is back and better than ever.”—Providence Journal
Praise for Off the Grid
“With this exceptional entry, Box solidifies his place at the upper
end of the crime fiction pantheon.”—Publishers Weekly (starred,
boxed review)
“Filled with high suspense, formidable characters, and an
action-packed ending more vivid than most movies. Off the Grid
never falters as Box again delivers an exceptional thriller.”—South
Florida Sun-Sentinel
“You can’t help turning the pages and holding your breath until you
find out where this scary, all-too-plausible caravan is
heading.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A terrorist thriller with a uniquely western flair...This is a
breakneck story that Pickett fans will want to read in one
sitting.”—Booklist
“Picking up a new C. J. Box thriller is like spending quality time
with family you love and have missed....It’s a rare thriller series
that has characters grow and change. An exciting reading experience
for both loyal fans as well as newcomers.”—Associated Press
“A terrific read yet again from C. J. Box.”—Suspense Magazine
“Box is a master.”—The Denver Post
“Off the Grid is a warning of sorts in that it shows how U.S.
national security is vulnerable to a terrorist attack. It is not
only informative, but challenges people’s minds as they learn about
western culture. To date this might just be one of Box’s
best.”—Military Press
“C. J. Box continues his spectacular roll with the darkly
mesmerizing Off the Grid....Pickett and Romanowski have become the
gold standard, playing off each other perfectly as different sides
of the same coin.”—The Providence Journal
