It’s getting really hard to believe so much can happen to a family and in this case, in space of a few days in Dec. I was disappointed in somewhat graphic teenage scenes, and then Cork’s own lustful leanings, especially as he’s so gripped with the crimes unraveling yet again in Tamarack Co. I’ve read all the Reacher and Longmire series, so I obviously don’t mind main characters being superhuman, staying awake for days, alert to every sound and nuance. Living through exposure during blizzards and getting shot but finishing the job. Still, it’s harder to believe w Cork for some reason. These plots felt pretty contrived this time. I’ll keep reading tho!...more

I love thrillers but guess I don’t like gore. This was hard to finish but I really wanted to know the ending. Took me awhile to realize this was like a Law and order, episode, with all sides presented. Wasn’t sure I liked it off and on, but I’ll give the author another try. 2.5 stars...more

Why a 4-5 yo would not realize she’d been removed from her birth family and would just accept a totally new mother was one thing bothering me throughout. I kept allowing, she must’ve been 1-2yo when it happened but later you find she was older. Makes no sense, sorry. And I wanted to love Joe and hated that he became a stereotype. Why would he become so angry and bitter when he had such a loving family and even wife, later in life? Didn’t seem reasonable to me. But there was Something compelling in this novel that kept me reading it, so I think it’s a good debut. Maybe just not my style....more
