Treasure State
Treasure State: A Cassie Dewell Novel | C.J. Box
3 posts | 3 read
#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.

This book started with a bang and a trail of crime and murder. Full of good twists, this story definitely had me hanging on every word. I've learned from many Agatha Christie novels to expect the unexpected and my hunch at the start was correct, but near the end, I had completely forgotten about my original hunch at the start! It was a good oh! moment at the end when you finally get the big picture.

This was a novel that was just okay in my opinion. I liked that I did not feel lost, even though this is the sixth book in the series, and that Cassie is a tough intelligent woman, but it also felt almost like this was the type of book that follows a repeated formula; I could almost anticipate what would happen next at various times. Box used a nonlinear timeline to reveal relevant plot points, but most of the revelations did not surprise me.
