3.8 ??3 s Graeme Hodgson72

I am afraid, Molly, I could not give you a 5 star ratings, due to the fact that the efforts Piper and Wade went through in the continuous snow - up to their knees and even hips! most of the time following tracks- really I always thought continuous snowing would cover up tracks - guess I am wrong?
Also, after all the hardships they went through, that others in the team were unable to endue, Piper and Wade were so extra strong/determined to be able to overcome everything was just a little too much!!!!! Also, Piper's, continuous blaming herself for Fiona's death was irritating. Did she really believe that Detectives never ever lost an investigation and always saved the victim?
The general gist and story of the book is what kept me reading it to the end.

This was a great quick read. I was so impressed with the amount of drama and suspense Molly Black was able to pack in less than 200 pages. 3 s Gloria ~ mzglorybe1,104 118

Checked out this author for the first time as IÂ’ve seen a lot of her work online and good . This was an audiobook I downloaded through Hoopla.

It was fast. I listened to it all in one day while doing my chores. I wasnÂ’t enamored with the heroin though I found her skills admirable. She is a recluse in a remote Alaska location when her former partner comes to her to ask for her aid in finding the GovernorÂ’s daughter who has been abducted.

The premise of the story/plot was fine but I found some scenarios a bit of a stretch, traipsing through the waist-level snow following footprints? Climbing trees and slopes, succeeding when several other trained FBI agents couldn’t? And the guilt she’d carried on about the unsuccessful effort she had with her last case was a bit much, for it to force her into reclusion. As a professional she must have known you can’t win ‘em all. It shouldn’t have been so traumatizing as she wasn’t even personally involved with the victim.

This was ok, but I wonÂ’t continuity the series. 2 s Greg D142

Entertaining but uneven

3.5 stars. While I enjoyed this book for the most part, it was somewhat unbelievable at times, bordering on ridiculous. Individuals unfamiliar with tracking through severely adverse conditions would have had much greater issues, with a much higher chance of serious injury or death - but not in this book! A quick read, but I'm unsure at this point if I will continue the series.1 heidi canton119

I need a higher rating for this book. ItÂ’s one of those tales that sucks you in so you read past your bedtime. The characters are brilliant. The plot is so time sensitive that you want to read to stay apace with the investigation developments. And tracking is so interesting! Definitely putting book 2 on my tbr!1 Kaz Bland111

Listened to the audiobook of this. Not bad. Narrator was good, story good and interesting. MC was flawed most of us. I will read the next one to see where the author takes the character.1 Hailey Roberts2

FBI: 2.1

not the typical beauroucratic workaholic in a dark blue suit with a dark blue windbreaker. thankfully. nope this one's flannels and cords all the way from her remote one room cabin way up in Inuit country to the also frozen depths of the North Dakota/Canadian forests of snow and ice and wildlife freer than the humans who dared to invade. grab a blankie while you read this, cause if you have the attendant and very active imagination that makes an avid reader such a devotee of good stories, you'll feel the whiteouts and subzero temps and the bone-chilling winds every step that our heroine so doggedly devotes to saving a young stranger's life. one might think she'd once trained with Royal Canadian Mounted Police and therefore sworn to always get her man. even if she loses the other ten she started out with. not only is this a tale about a strong woman, it's also a tale about a vulnerable risk taker who never loses site of who she is and needs to become. she'd be good role model if you could ever find her up there in polar bear territory.

Disappointing

Given the high number of positive I had high expectations of this book. What a letdown!

The writing is good but the plotting poor. The animosity demonstrated towards Piper from one character in particular is over the top and is never resolved.
The "clues" conveniently left to assure tracker Piper that she's on the right trail are ridiculous, firstly because how is the victim to know anyone is in pursuit; and secondly the kidnapper is himself an expert tracker but does not notice anything!
Towards the end, when approaching the cabin, Piper spots some animal traps and is furthermore "warned" by a wolf but despite this and her expertise still gets caught!
What about handling a gun and handcuffs while wearing thick gloves? There's more but I don't have the time! Boomer394 7

My first book by this particular author. I was surprised by how short this is, coming in at under 200 pages but looking at this author's catalogue, it looks she favors short books in a longer series. I can't say I'm really a fan of this format as there's no time here for any meaningful character development. I can't even really envision main character Piper Woods because I can't recall there ever being a physical description of her. The plot isn't anything really original and some of the events seem pretty far fetched, but it does move quickly and there's no profanity or gratuitous violence. The case at least has an ending and leads into what looks will be the overall series story of Piper's missing family.

I enjoyed this enough to give Book 2 a try Avid725 3

Enjoyable. Well written. A female agent who grew up learning how to survive in the unthinkable outdoors uses these skills to track down dangerous killers in elements others don't want to think about entering nevertheless have the chance of surviving against a psycho who has planned to set up camp in this area for this exact reason.

The agent is haunted from past traumas, but her old partner convinces her to do one last important job. Even though several people harass her, her partner has her back, and she is great at what she does. She is tough, and others soon realize just how good she is.
