About this listen

Jackson Clay used to be many things. An Army Ranger. A loving husband. A doting father. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, in the wake of unspeakable tragedy, he's simply the missing's last hope.

When quiet high schooler Sara Beth Parker disappears in the night from her home in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Detective Angela Cole is assigned the case. A black woman in a department full of white men, she's made a career for herself working harder and being better than the badges beside her. But when leads begin to dry up and her own peers start to question whether Parker was taken or simply ran away, Cole feels herself being pushed to the edge. And when an old colleague introduces her to Jackson, shell break her own rules and place any hope of finding Sara Beth in his hands.

Determined to breathe life into a case that has quickly gone cold, Jackson begins to unravel a tangled web of secrets and lies that put him in the crosshairs of a sociopathic killer and his heavily-armed cult a group that may be responsible for much, much more than just Sara Beth's disappearance. But enemies also have enemies, and when Jackson gains the help of a charismatic boor named Bear, together they'll take the fight to the cult, determined to bring Sara Beth home. THE WOODSMAN is "an unputdownable, suspenseful, and gripping book full of twists and turns." (Dawn Hosmer, author of Bits & Pieces)

Action packed!

This is a very well written story and I really enjoyed it! It’s very exciting from start to finish and has a lot of suspense as well! Once I started listening, I didn’t want to stop until I knew how it was going to end!

Riveting Thriller

This was my first experience with B.C. Lienesch's work, and it was riveting. Once the audiobook started, my attention was so captured by the story, that I had to listen until the end in one sitting. Jackson Clay was once an Army Ranger. Now he has been asked to use his skills to locate a missing teenager. The story had several surprising twists and turns. Jackson Clay was a fascinating and complicated character. I liked Bear Beauchamp has he added some lightness in a very dark and tragic situation. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. P.J. Freebourn's narration was great, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review which included my opinions.

Great story

I really enjoyed how this story played out. It was a good story with great characters. I would recommend it to anyone who likes action and police / private eye style dramas.

Guy Next Door

Love this book! This book really gave you the feel of the guy next door who has been through a lot. That guy next door is the sweetest, nicest person, but absolutely will not stand for seeing others wrong or put through suffering. Jackson becomes the character you care the most about and also are the most concerned is going to burn himself out. That's where Bear comes in and gives him some balance and a softer (relatively speaking inside joke, listen to it and you'll understand) side...and also forces Jackson to want to live rather than be a sacrifice without need.

If you're former military, you may find yourself nitpicking small pieces of some of the engagements. I'm telling you now fight the urge to do that because this book deserves it. The author did great work and the narrator fit perfectly. Ready for the next one!!

couldn't turn it off!

I think I just found a new genre that I can't put down. I listened to this book start to finish with no breaks!!! Kept me on the edge wanting more one chapter throughout. I can't wait to read more from the author.

More of the same

Predictable bad guys. Not much effort put into the story. Laughable that these guys wouldn’t be targeted first and repeatedly.
