Welcome to Litsy!

My second book bought in Montana. This one was written by a local author who lives in Whitefish where I was staying. The plot was based around Glacier National Park too, and it was so nice to read about a place I am discovering and being able to understand the references and picture the place perfectly. The story follows Ted, a guy who is basically national park police. (Cont. in comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)

This book has a strong sense of place and sometimes insightful writing, but overall it needed more editing. I also didn‘t find the story very satisfying for many reasons. Apparently the following books in the series feature a different main character who‘s more compelling than the guy in this book, but even so I don‘t think I‘ll read any further.

In any case #Montana is done and there are only a few states left! #52mysteries

1. Haircut, ballgame
2. Trees, apartments, parking lot
3. Maryland USA. It‘s a little muggy!

Although fiction, the tone of this book is more dour than other park ranger/warden books I have read. I'm not sure I would have finished it if I wasn't listening to it on audio. The main character was not compelling and I didn't feel attached to his story. There is also extreme violence against dogs at 3 parts in this book that I did not expect and totally hated. I don't think I will continue with this series.

I enjoyed this novel set in the picturesque setting of Glacier National Park (on my bucket list). All the best detectives have demons, but Systead is uniquely impacted by the central case as his father was killed by a grizzly in the park many years ago. Carbo did a good job writing about trauma, however, I found the resolution of the case tragic rather than triumphant. A little too long and slow at times, but a “just fine” read overall. 3⭐️

These are the 4 I‘m thinking of for this round of suspense/mystery/thriller I haven‘t read any of them, but The Cold Inside sounds the most intriguing to me.
What are your thoughts?

A refreshing mystery/suspense book - I also read her next book.

🎧 RC Bray narrates so of course I was going to listen 😁 loved his narration. An FBI agent who‘s dad was killed by a bear when he was 16 on a camping trip with him investigates a murder committed in a national park. A man was tied to a tree & mauled/eaten by a grizzly bear. Death by bear. The mystery slowly unfolds & is actually really pretty good. I believe it‘s book one in a series. I‘ll definitely try #2. Thanks Hoopla! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m starting the year off right. 2019 was full of four star books but not many fives. This is definitely a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️which makes me very happy for my first read of 2020. This was an OLD #LitsyRecommends I believe from @Jules7 that I saw and had to read. Not a lot of reviews on it but I loved it- the kind of slow moving mystery that‘s very atmospheric with clues being eked out a bit at a time. Didn‘t guess the ending, definitely recommend!

Going to start reading this tonight!

Trying to finish the last few pages of this novel, and it‘s making me nuts that I can‘t figure out who did it!!

The imagery in this book was so beautiful. It was set in Glacier National Park in Montana (I really want to visit there after reading this!) and I really enjoyed the descriptions of the park, I felt like I could picture everything! The mystery was intriguing and the main character was a very interesting point of view to see the story from. Really recommend this book.
4.5 ⭐

#bookmail on this chilly rainy day!

I bailed on two books this week! 😭😭😭 This breaks my heart. I really wanted to love both of them. Wolves and bears and wild things are typically a big win for me. But alas. I guess some things just aren't meant to be. #itsnotyouitsme

I had such a high hopes for the book and it completely let me down 😫

Good read... Starts slow but ends at a rapid pace... Looking forward to Mortal Fall.

Made it to Chicago ... Started a new book with my new pal Poe
