Erebus Resort, occupying a magnificent, hundred-thousand acre valley deep in the Colorado Rockies, offers guests the experience of viewing woolly mammoths, Irish Elk, and giant ground sloths in their native habitat, brought back from extinction through the magic of genetic manipulation. When a billionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered in the Erebus back country by what is assumed to be a gang of eco-terrorists, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash partners with county sheriff James Colcord to track down the perpetrators.

About midway through, story lost momentum and felt like the ending had to be made to tie up the awkward story line

Kit Darling is a maid with a snooping problem. She’s the “invisible girl,” compelled to poke into her wealthy clients’ closely guarded lives. It’s a harmless hobby until Kit sees something she can’t unsee in the home of her brand-new clients: a secret so dark it could destroy the privileged couple expecting their first child. This makes Kit dangerous to the couple. In turn, it makes the couple—who might kill to keep their secret—dangerous to Kit.

Inadequate transitions.

Hard
The surprises were pretentious; this story of all of the author’s others that I have enjoyed seemed to try too hard. Topic overused. Not author’s caliber in other stories.

I am a former English teacher and near raider for books to three and onward continues to miss pronounce words and pronounce Nina differently several times. He’s too gung ho and bright and he starts off with accents and then leaves them somewhere along the way. Much prefer narrator from first two books. Especially if I’m going to go on the ride of the entire series which is fun I’m enjoying it.
