Perceptions: A Fox Walker Novel
Book Six of the Award Winning Fox Walker Novels
A hiker found dead, and the last man to see him alive keeps lying—about everything.
A mystery where the circumstantial evidence makes more sense than what the physical facts show.
And two experts with very different opinions. Was this murder … or something else?
When a Search and Rescue mission turns into a body retrieval on Stoneridge Mountain, expert trackers, Fox Walker and Nataya, determine the death to be accidental. But when the circumstantial evidence suggests a different story, the local Deputy Sheriff isn’t so sure. Was this really about murder?
Hoping to build a good rapport with the law enforcement in his new home, Walker must convince the powers that be he has the credibility to stand by his word. He knows what he read at the scene, and he’s convinced the man is innocent. But the prime suspect keeps lying, and each time he lies, he looks more and more guilty—but of what?
With Walker’s reputation—and a potentially innocent man’s life—on the line, the expert tracker must rely on his finely honed skills to ensure the truth is upheld. But is it possible Walker misread the signs? Because innocent people don’t lie … or do they?

I sat down to read for a bit and finished the book with dinner. Another excellent entry in this series.

Indy Quillen continues to demonstrate her versatility with this latest Fox Walker installment. Her usual expertise in bushcraft and obvious love of the wild are there, with added elements of intrigue that only serve to layer her talent as her Fox Walker series continues to evolve.
This time we're given the clues that build various human elements into her story, ones weaving themes of learning to understand our own weaknesses and trust in the intuition and experiences of others. Quillen is in touch with nature obviously, and aptly demonstrates that human nature is also a part of the totality we experience.
Five earned stars for demonstrated versatility and willingness to take an established series in a new direction.

Well … that was cool. I just finished this new Fox Walker series book and it was very well done. As a tracker myself, I appreciated the the tracking scenes and not just the surface view of following someone but the mental discipline involved in finding clue and interpreting them correctly. The book was enjoyable all the way through with lots of fun descriptions of the landscape , a new fascinating character and a plot I would have never expected.

A disappointing addition to this series!
The author must be bored with this character as the story line was weak at best and rambled on continually. The main character Fox Walker was a sideline to most of this story and half or more of the book reads like filler. I found myself skim reading at times and only finished to see if a saving twist was in store. It was not, definitely not worth the price of admission!
