Duration: 9 hours, 49 minutes.
Unabridged.


In The Bitterroots, Cassie Dewell has left her career in law enforcement and is now a private investigator in Montana. This is perhaps the first series featuring a private investigator in Montana because there can't be that many private investigators in Montana. Box notes that she is actually doing quite well for herself because there are so few private investigators in Montana.

A lawyer who is also the daughter of a man she owed a favor to contacted her to do some investigating work. The attorney had been hired to defend a man who was accused of raping his niece. His case had been moved away from his home county due to pre-trial publicity and Cassie Dewell soon discovers that his home country. That county, despite being physically large, feels like small because everyone knows everyone else and one family runs everything through a combination of physical and financial intimidation.

The problem is that Dewell's client is a member of this family - the oldest son. He is the black sheep that moved away and made it big and came back home with a plan to sell the family ranch since the family patriarch is close to death. The will states that the oldest will inherit the whole ranch so long as he has never committed an act of moral turpitude - which is why the client says he was set up.

Dewell goes off to investigate expecting to find trouble and she finds even more than she expects...

I listened to The Bitterroots as an audiobook. Christian Delaine did a fantastic job of actually performing the book rather than simply reading it. She made the story better than it would have been if I had simply read it.

I rate this audiobook 4 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: The Bitterroots (Cassie Dewell #4) by C.J. Box.
