Another great book by Shannon Work! The suspense was enough to keep me turning the pages, and it's always nice to find a great, entertaining book without filthy scenes. I don't usually like kids in books, but Abby was so well written that I didn't mind her, and of course, there were some fun dog scenes for the animal lovers. The focal point, of course, was the great Rocky Mountains of Colorado and some fun peeks into the town of Telluride. It just makes for a majestic book setting. If you haven't read one of Work's novels, I highly recommend trying one out.

I always enjoy the books in this series. The characters are compelling. This one had several subplots, and all were intriguing. I really connected with Corbin Butch, the "crazy" reclusive mountain man. There were very relevant and current issues that were touched on, like the storage of nuclear waste. I also enjoy stories where the actual police in a story aren't bashed.
Jake returns from the mountains with Otto to discover the Sheriff wants to have him help with a recent murder. A local resident who owns a gold mine is murdered at his mine. The entire town says the man was not well-liked, but they all seem to be keeping secrets.

Most exciting book of the series!
Like all of Shannon Work’s books, this one doesn’t disappoint. The clues are peppered in for the perfect amount of mystery and excitement.
If you enjoy mysteries, this is a must read. The descriptions of other mountains make me feel like I’m there. The characters have charm, and of course, there is intrigue, leaving the audience to guess who “done it” until the very end.
Bravo!

I have really enjoyed this book series by Shannon Work and particularly liked Echoes in the Dark. The last half was a real page-turner. I couldn’t believe the plot twist at the end! Can’t wait for the next one in the series!

A good, solid mystery. And the setting is so beautiful that I really have put Telluride on my “must visit” list.
