Overall, it was an enjoyable suspense story. I liked the Colorado setting and the characters, but felt the bad guys were way too bold and eager to kill...not too smart on their part. Definitely an author I’ll be reading again, and having a K9 in the story is a fun plus too.

'The hair on his arms prickled. Something didn't feel right.'
I really like inspirational suspense and read a lot of it, so when I saw this book, but a new-to-me author, I decided I'd give it a chance. I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute. Stephanie M. Gammon's debut novel is really very well done. She has crafted believable characters and a good plot, one I had no clue about, and there was a surprise twist thrown in to catch the reader off balance, too. I will definitely be reading more of her work. Recommended.

What an exciting debut romantic suspense novel! From the first page to the last, this book is hard to put down. A fast read, this story also provides unexpected depth in the characters and the emotional and spiritual themes. Ms. Gammon’s descriptions are unique and original, and her pacing is spot-on for the suspense genre. She also puts her heroine through the ringer with action and danger at every turn. The romance is sure to please readers looking for a strong love story, as well. This is a terrific debut from a new author. I can’t wait for the next novel from Stephanie M. Gammon!

I think this is her first book. I read this book in 2 hours I could not put it down. Its a great read, great characters, great plot. She set this in Manitou Springs I live in Colorado Springs so it was a great interesting read, she puts places that are real in the book. I won this copy and she signed it and Im thrilled I read it. EXCELLENT Job Stephanie.

Fairly good read
The plotline was very good, most of the characters were very good. However, the main character Liz was always second guessing herself, refusing to see what was right before her, and was too stubborn to follow instructions meant to keep her AND her son out of danger! Quite immature in my opinion. Otherwise it was a fairly good read.

Treacherous Mountain Investigation by Stephanie M. Gammon is a suspense novel full of action and danger. Elizabeth Hart is in the Rocky Mountains for pics in the hopes of securing a great job for her and her son's future. Someone is trying to harm her. Could this be for a years ago blog post that ultimately brought down a human trafficking's operation?

This book is amazing! It was such a good read. The twists and turns were not what I expected to happen. Typically I can guess everything within the first chapter and I had no clue until the very end! Such a good good read!

Treacherous Mountain Investigation
The storyline was very good, however there was a little more violence than I like. I think the violence detracted from the story.

Good suspense and second chance romance. I was sad about the ending of the story with the brothers and their father.
