Story
For GBI investigator Will Trent and medical examiner Sara Linton, McAlpine Lodge seems like the ideal getaway to celebrate their honeymoon. Set on a gorgeous, off-the-grid mountaintop property, it’s the perfect place to unplug and reconnect. Until a bone-chilling scream cuts through the night. Mercy McAlpine, the manager of the Lodge, is dead. With a vicious storm raging and the one access road to the property washed out, the murderer must be someone on the mountain. But as Will and Sara investigate the McAlpine family and the other guests, they realize that everyone here is lying.

Excellent as usual. Also wasn't bothered at all with the Twitter speak @'s and # hashtags. I would think anyone in today's society would follow that easily.
Also love Long books and this one didn't disappoint. Looking forward to the next one!

Iraqi war vet and former railway cop Sydney Parnell is now the youngest homicide detective in Denver's Major Crimes Unit. In the past, gut instinct has served her and her K9 partner well.

Very good!
Reviewed: 01-26-21
From other reviews, I can understand thinking Allie the FBI Agent really stupid and unprofessional. kinda thought her unprofessional in the last book also. But sometimes I think people can judge a book like they are looking for mistakes. I loved this book, I think the dog helped and this whole series has pulled me in. Describing the beauty 0f Montana ....Glacier N.P. and the way Christine Carbo has with words brings James Lee Burke to mind. I could go on, but I have read all 4 books in this series and I hope more are coming. Believe me as far as writers go you could do a lot worse!

so glad to have found this author. I love books with our National Parks involved. i.e. Navada Barr and others. But this author writes so eloquently that James Lee Burke comes to mind. Almost like descriptive poetry! Will definitely continue to read her work!
