Ratings and reviews

I did not read the first book about Frankie so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was not this intense wilderness thriller. “My name is Frankie Elkin,” I state. “I specialize in working missing persons cold cases. And I’d like to help to bring your son home.” Timothy O’Day went missing on a bachelor camping trip five years ago and has never been seen again. His father has come to search for him to fulfill his mother’s dying wish. Suspicion and danger are everywhere. Frankie like all new main characters by this author had to grow on me and by the end I was totally in her corner. Lisa Gardner has long been one of my favorite suspense authors. Her stories are edgy and not always for the faint of heart but no matter what she writes it’s always holds you in it’s grip and doesn’t let go until the shocking ending that you’ll never see coming.

great read! didn't want to put it down.

Loved this book.
