Loved the setting and local characters. Thought one or two scenes were implausible, otherwise would have rated higher. Well-written exploring current challenges.

gimmebacon's review against another edition

5.0

I realize that Northwoods is being marketed as a mystery/thriller and while I do see why they are doing that, I don't feel like that is the main focus of the book. It's essentially a story about how Eli working through his PTSD as a combat veteran. Most of the detective work is done by others while Eli is dealing with panic attacks and hangovers. I felt like I was right alongside him throughout the book, feeling what he was feeling. I hope that this is the first of a series!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
