Detective Regan Pescoli's daughter is playing a hide and seek game with some friends by the woods when she gets separated from the group. As she's trying to find her way back to them, she realizes she's being chased by someone and stumbles down a hill into a creek bed where she finds a body of a woman. She thought she was being chased by a tall, two-legged smelly creature (Sasquatch) which brings a reality TV show producer to the town to get her story. Meanwhile, Detectives Pescoli and Alvarex are trying to find out who the girl in the creek is and how/why she was murdered. Then, another young woman is killed. ( ) Bodies are turning up in Grizzly Falls and homicide detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez find their investigation hampered by the machinations of a reality show host and crew that come to town to hunt for the elusive Bigfoot. Complications ensue when the media frenzy draws Regan’s daughter, Bianca, into the spotlight . . . and Regan is about to give birth. Although this story works as a stand-alone, readers familiar with the series will immediately recognize many of the Grizzly Falls characters who return in this installment of the series. Building tensions ramp up the suspense and keeps those pages turning; the true-to-life emotions of the very pregnant Regan Pescoli add to both the realism and the tension. The pace is relentless, the narrative incorporates the Bigfoot legend in the mystery as the twists and turns of the plot keep readers guessing until the final unexpected reveal. Highly recommended. Grizzly Falls, Montana, a quiet town to raise a family...until...it is not! Regan Pescoli is a cop due for maternity leave soon. Then, her older daughter Bianca finds a dead body after being chased by a Sasquatch(yes...that's what I said!). Regan cannot have this baby yet. She is in a race against the clock to solve these murders in her small town. Bianca is a typical teenager, easily manipulated and very quick with the attitude. I was not a huge fan of her character at the start of this read. She redeems herself as the tale weaves along. She has a strong fortitude and intellect which shows itself the more you get to know her. And, her mother Regan is one of the best female characters ever. She chooses her battles (especially with her ex) very carefully and wins quite a few. This is a true action packed read. Lisa Jackson always has the best "run away" scenes. I got out of breath as Bianca makes a run for it, not once, but twice in this story. I have read a couple of books in this series. I have not read them in order nor have I read them all. Does not really matter, you can pick up any of her novels in any series and just start reading. Lisa Jackson is a very consistent writer. I enjoy her books especially on trips. Her novels are fast-paced and suspenseful. I do not think I have ever "not finished" one of her books. Have I read them all? Absolutely not. She has tons of novels, with many different settings and characters. So, pick your favorite setting and take her on! I received this novel from Netgalley for a honest review. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Some places earn their bad reputation through tall tales or chance. Grizzly Falls is different. Here, killers aren't just the stuff of legends and campfire lore. Someone is in the nighttime shadows, watching the local teens play around in the moonlit woods. Waiting for the right moment, the right victim. Waiting to take away a life. Detective Regan Pescoli is counting the days until her maternity leave. Exhausted and emotional, the last thing she needs is another suspected serial killer. Especially when her daughter, Bianca, is swept up in the media storm. When a reality show arrives in town, the chaos only makes it harder for Pescoli and her partner, Selena Alvarez, to distinguish rumor from truth. Another body is found ... and another. And as the nightmare strikes closer to home, Pescoli races to find the terror lingering in the darkness, where there are too many places to hide ... and countless places to die.
