About this listen

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.

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.

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.

A good thriller spoilt by too much introspection

I enjoyed the first novel in this series, but Monty the detective's pedantry and never-ending psychological explanations and remarks about everything gets quite wearing. He must be a pain to work with.

Emotional mountains

The narrator is so engaged in this story that it engaged me! I felt this was more an autobiography than a novel, so detailed are the descriptions of emotions, behaviour and landscape. The characters are drawn to match an area, still relatively uncharted, in America. Its geography matches the human condition.
The plot line is not strong but I became more interested in what was happening to the main character.

Great mix of intrigue , procedures and scenery

Really enjoyed this book. Was able to follow the stunning vistas on the map. I learnt a lot too about procedure and the underwhelmed of some of these towns. The characters and reading was great and kept me engagdd.

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.
