Summary
A wildlife biologist's shocking death leads to chilling discoveries in Christine Carbo's haunting and compelling new crime novel set in the wilds of Glacier National Park.
Glacier National Park police officer Monty Harris knows that each summer at least one person - be it a reckless, arrogant climber or a distracted hiker - will meet tragedy in the park. But Paul "Wolfie" Sedgewick's fatal fall from the sheer cliffs near Going-to-the-Sun Road is incomprehensible. Wolfie was an experienced and highly regarded wildlife biologist who knew all too well the perils that Glacier's treacherous terrain presents - and how to avoid them.
The case, so close to home, has frayed park employee emotions. Yet calm and methodical lead investigator Monty senses in his gut that something isn't right. So when whispers of irresponsibility or suicide emerge, tarnishing Wolfie's reputation, Monty dedicates himself to uncovering the truth - for the sake of the man's family and to satisfy his own persistent sense of unease.
Monty discovers that Wolfie's zealous studies of Glacier's mysterious, embattled wolverine population, so vital to park ecology, had met resistance, both local and federal. To muddy the waters further, a wilderness facility for rehabilitating troubled teens - one that Monty's older brother attended - may have a disturbing connection to the case. As Monty delves further into an investigation that goes deeper than he ever imagined, he wrestles with the demons of his past, which lead back to harsh betrayals he thought he'd buried long ago.
And then a second body is found.

Good story
I really enjoyed this book. It was a different kind of detective story, being set in a national park rather than a city. I was also impressed by the narration as a poor reader can often affect my enjoyment of an Audible book. Would recommend.

Nope
Not for me. Made it to cpt 17, but the story is way too slow, and the narrators drone just got on my wick. Thankfully, it was in plus catalogue, so no money wasted. Cannot believe how many good reviews this has got.

2nd in series 2nd in overall enjoyment
Very enjoyable, completed listening to it in 4 days. In comparison to the first book I did find the narration of it a lttle fast and robotic sounding at times, the modulation could have been better. The story was great and it took me until the last 10 chapters to work out the whodunit.

A Little Bit Laboured in Parts
I enjoyed this story and the descriptions of the environment......although the US National Parks are now definitely off the bucket list.....but the writer's style is probably not for everyone. she writes with a strong first person voice, but with so much introspection that it does occasionally get a bit laboured .

Enjoyed the storyline which was a good thriller, set in an interesting environment. Loved the information about the Wolverines and there habitat.
Narrator was good as well.
Looking forward to listening to another book by this author.

Enjoyable read.
This is a new author to me and I was a little unsure I would like it. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the way the case was built and the conflict within each character. I will be on the lookout for more stories by Christine Carbo.

Very good
This is a slow burner that how I imagine a case gets solved in real life with not much to go on, really slowly gathering the clue's.
