Publisher's summary

When teenage sisters go missing in the mysterious "Bennington Triangle" of Vermont, an area renowned for its disappearances and strange occurrences over the past 100 years, FBI agent Jack Juarez brings K-9 handler Jamie Flint and her dog Phantom in to assist with the search.

When Jack realizes the case shares haunting similarities with the murders of the missing girls' aunts 10 years before, it becomes clear that he and Jamie are dealing with much more than two girls who simply wandered off the beaten path.

Surprisingly Excellent!

I initially chose this to-me- unknown author because I'm fascinated by K-9 stories (such as Max). I wasn't expecting the slight paranormal twist but it was actually thought provoking, so much so that I'm downloading book 2 in the series now.
The narrator was exceptional also.

Intense

The author kept you guessing through the whole book. I enjoyed hearing about the bond the handlers had with dogs as well.

Great premise but weak story

I hesitated to buy this book because of mixed reviews - and after listening I agree with other reviewers that there are a lot of flaws in the story. The portrayal of FBI agents as either incompetent or corrupt (or both) is so overdone it’s not believable and there are enough vague references to things that happened in the past that I kept double-checking to make sure this was really the first book in the series. The ending is rushed and then suddenly explained without letting the final events unfold.

Even though I thought the story was a C- I liked the main characters and the search and rescue dogs enough that I will probably give the second book in the series a try and see if the author can craft a better story for these characters. There’s potential for something better.

Best book I’ve listened to this year!

Wow I really liked this story! Well written so you can’t figure out what’s gonna happen next. I already bought the second one!

Very interesting story!

I really liked the main character, her son, her SAR dog Phantom, and her business is very interesting!!! Would love to hear more on the dogs she trains in the story.
Lots of interesting and unexpected twists kept me riveted.
Narrator’s voice was very good… I enjoyed her southern accent and she speaks very clearly… and puts just the right tones into her voice to show emotions and keep it exciting!
