This was a great book. Full of suspense and thrills. I wasn't sure who the bad guy was until the last couple chapters and I wasn't disappointed. This is a C.J. Box stand alone book and it is a great one. It involves a back packing trip deep into Yellowstone National Park. It will keep you reading all night because one incident leads to the next and the next, etc. I highly recommend this book to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Found this CJ Box story to be disappointing!
This is the 3rd book I have not liked and think
it might be time for me to quit reading this
author. Much too wordy for me and felt like I
was getting nowhere quick!

Cody Hoyt is a cop and an alcoholic. He has been sober for the last two months and is struggling to remain that way. When his AA Sponsor is found dead in a house fire, it is determined that his death was either an accident or suicide. Cody isn't buying it. He thinks someone killed Hank and he starts investigating Hank's death. Cody finds a clue that points to a company that takes tourists on horseback into the far reaches of Yellowstone National Park. Cody believes the murderer may be among the group. Time is of the essence as he tries to catch up with them, especially when he learns that his teenage son is also on the trip.

It took a little while to get into the story, but by the time Cody started tracking the group through the National Park, I was totally hooked. There were many suspects to weed through. I kept changing my mind about the identity of the killer. There was also a lot of suspense since a handful of the people in the group had secrets. I enjoyed this mystery and I loved the twist at the end of the story.

This is my first book by this author, but it won't be my last. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Holter Graham who does a superb job. My rating: 5 Stars.
