A chewed-up corpse high in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area leaves Colorado hunting guide Allison Coil mystified. Obvious signs suggest the dead man is the victim of a mountain lion attack, but Allison's instincts tell her otherwise. Miles away in down- town Glenwood Springs, a controversial candidate for US Senate is shot during a campaign stop as news-paper reporter Duncan Bloom watches, dodging the long-range gunfire. Trapline follows Coil and Bloom as their investigations collide, exposing the dark depths of human indifference.

Winner of the 2015 Colorado Book Award for Mystery.

Critic reviews

"A chilling tale." ( The Denver Post)
"Allison's third adventure...combines a loving portrait of a beautiful area with an ugly, all-too-believable conspiracy that could have been ripped from today's headlines."( Kirkus Reviews)
"Readers will enjoy the fast-paced action." ( Mystery Scene)

A great setting but the book itself is kind of pokey. Lots of interesting stuff going on but the author lags behind in taking the reader on what could have been
the excitement of real crime/ real
criminals - here's what's happening .. . Worth reading if you want a calm book before bed.

This suspenseful mystery is relevant to today's current events. It's obviously somewhat contrived, but believable enough. As with the previous books in this series, the Colorado Flat
Tops is a great setting and the main characters are compelling.

Amy Johnson's performance is consistent. She has adopted these characters as hers. I did hear a couple of mispronunciations, but they were minor.

NOTE: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Trapline is an excellent Audible Listen. It has an absorbing plot based in a cool area of Colorado enmeshed in current social challenges. I particularly liked his character development, and I easilly identified with the three main leads. I look forward to reading another in Mark Stephen's "Allison Cole" series.

Trapline is a GREat Listen!
