Why would a hunter and his 15-year-old daughter, he was taking on her first hunting trip, both vanish? Winslow Doyle was a popular wilderness guide when his wife died trying to save their nephew from a bear. That was six years ago. Since then he's been cutting firewood for a living, and finding lost pets and the occasional person in the Montana wilderness. But when when Callie Carew asks him to find her husband and 15-year old daughter, missing since the opening day of hunting season, Doyle sets out on a dangerous quest. His own life will join the other lives at risk. This quest will either kill or save him. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I very much enjoyed this story. It's one of those tales that make the reader keep going to find out what happens next. Winslow is an intriguing guy, still grieving the loss of his wife Lomahongva and just starting to move on with his life. The secondary characters are also well-drawn; the bad guys are horrific, and young Cassie, the missing daughter, is smart and resourceful despite her plight.
In some ways, this book reminds me of Paul Doiron's Mike Bowditch series (except Mike is a Maine guide). I enjoy those books, partly because I live in Maine, but fans would also like this series. There's a lot of wilderness lore and backwoods knowledge needed to solve the mystery, and Winslow certainly qualifies with his background.
Hopefully, Mr. Curran continues with the series. I can see people getting hooked on Winslow Doyle and wanting to read more about his crime-solving abilities. The Montana backdrop is also engaging; I always like books set in Big Sky country. A great start to the series. ( )
