I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't read it fast enough. I will say this though it is an "on the edge of your seat" read the whole way. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next but also afraid to find out. One of the best books I have read all year.

Will Innis has been living under an assumed identity with his daughter ever since the disappearance of his wife. Because his daughter Devlin has a health problem which could significantly shorten her life, he fled rather than facing murder charges since a conviction would mean Devlin dying alone. A rogue FBI agent tracks Will and Devlin down, and offers him a chance to prove his innocence and possibly find his wife.

Snowbound is an intense page turner. Blake Crouch writes in short Patterson-like chapters, except he actually writes his own books and his writing is of higher quality. As is reasonable to expect for a thriller, some suspension of disbelief is needed, but the ride is an enjoyable one. Crouch is an author to watch.

I really really liked this book! From the very first page you will not put it down, it is fast moving and twists you don't expect. I like the short chapters as it seems it makes the story flow better with things happening on every page!

Will calls the police When his wife, Rachel who is a doctor, fails to come home. Her car is discovered on a desert highway, a broken window and no Rachel. He cannot join the search because their nine year old daughter has a fibrosis and cannot be left alone. The police suspect Will. Terrified of what could happen to Devlin the two relocate. Years later an FBI agent finds him, stating she believes he is not responsible for his wife's disappearance.

The story is about human trafficing focusing on disappearing women. The three follow a trail across the U.S., Canada and into Alaska searching for Rachel and the agent's sister who likewise disappeared. They take an exciting trek through lonely ioslated forest in wintery cold winter to a hidden lodge. What they find is not just those they search for but trained wolves who protect the property and wealthy men who have paid to do what they wish with women locked in rooms until their favors are required. The two groups meet for an exciting climax.
