About this listen
“Riveting.” —People
In this “compelling and heartbreaking debut that marks a new and important voice in the mystery genre” (William Kent Krueger), a murder with ties to America’s opioid epidemic reveals the dark underbelly of an idyllic Midwestern resort town.
Eli North is not okay.
His drinking is getting worse by the day, his emotional wounds after a deployment to Afghanistan are as raw as ever, his marriage and career are over, and the only job he can hold down is with the local sheriff’s department. And that’s only because the sheriff is his mother—and she’s overwhelmed with small town Shaky Lake’s dwindling budget and the fallout from the opioid epidemic.
The Northwoods of Wisconsin may be a vacationer’s paradise, but amidst the fishing trips, campfires, and Paul Bunyan festivals, something sinister is taking shape. When the body of a teenage boy is found in the lake, it sets in motion an investigation that leads Eli to a wealthy enclave with a violent past, a pharmaceutical salesman, and a missing teenage girl. Soon, Eli and his mother, along with a young FBI agent, are on the hunt for more than just a killer in this thriller that is “not to be missed” (Mindy Mejia, USA TODAY bestselling author).

Anya is enjoying a relaxing bath when she hears a noise coming from the ceiling. Through the open bathroom door, she sees the attic hatch swing down, and a masked figure drops to the floor. Thirty seconds later, Anya is dead. Across town, Anya's old school friend, Julia, sees an online video of a masked figure climbing out of an attic. She suddenly realizes why the footage is eerily familiar: it was filmed inside her own house in a luxury gated community, designed to keep intruders out. Why would a stranger target Julia? Unless of course, it's not a stranger at all.

In a world where anarchy and crime are surging, the man who calls himself Rogue begins his search for the truth – about who he is, what he’s done, and above all else, why? Friend and foe draw near. Offering aid. To find answers. To seek truth. But who can be trusted? And who secretly plots to destroy him? LA private detective Dave Martial seems genuine, but who is the man really? Then there is Special Agent Elroy Jones, and the enigmatic Dr. Elizabeth Grant who seems to know more about him than he knows of himself. Are their motives pure? Or is there more than lies beneath the surface?

Story
Sloane Caraway is a liar. Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting. So when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can't help herself—she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot. With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy, and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart. The perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.

This author shows potential
The story is too similar to other books I have recently read. The main character, tall and handsome (as usual) suffering from his was war experiences. He was always drunk and falling down. A nice predictable read.

Multi-Layer Drama
Northwoods is a multi-layered story of drama, suspense, and love. It is well written with wonderful imagery. It seems ripe for another installment.

PREDICTABLE BUT GOOD
New narrator for me. Slightly discernible lisp at first threw me off, but by about the third chapter I didn't care any more and thoroughly enjoyed his narration to the end. The story was rather predictable but good and well-paced, and I look forward to this author's next book.

Fun read, especially if you are familiar with WI.
This was a decent story, but the best part was the references to Northwoods Wisconsin. The story was in a fictional town, but including things like the mention of towns and cities, landmarks and other details specific to Wisconsin was fun.

Definitely easy to listen to
A good story set in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. A story of addiction, loss, family and recovery. It’s a good story worth listening to.

Drunken Deputy
Each chapter focused most of the time on the discomfiture (physically and mentally) of an inebriated sheriff deputy. The plot was lost in these descriptions of his drunkenness and then the aftermath of the unebriety, and I gave up listening, for want of any prominent story line. I look forward to future books that contain a decidedly pronounced plot line.

Too much description
There was so much description that that thread of the story was lost and the ending became anti-climactic

Disappointed
The poor quality narrator in combination with under-developed, two-dimensional characters left me disappointed. I forced myself to finish it, but it was slow.
