MY REVIEW

This book has so many points of interest for me. There’s a cold case. A recent murder that may be tied to that cold case. Suspicions of human trafficking. A possible kidnapping. Secrets. And it all occurs in Michigan and the UP, where I grew up.

Location made it easy for me to visual the scenery, such as roads, buildings and woods. Even though the author didn’t mention specific places I’d been to, I could still feel the atmosphere.

Ava was easy to connect with. A recent widow who moves to what she perceives is a safe place to raise her daughter and put down roots. When she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time it lands her in a murder investigation and maybe in the killers crosshairs. I raised my son alone and totally got her momma bear instincts to protect her daughter so it felt natural for her to become involved in solving the crime.

Enter Special Agent Nolan. I liked him immediately and was thrilled at the instant sparks between him and Ava. Sometimes circumstances, especially dangerous ones, causes the romance to come on fast. I crossed my fingers theirs would last.

And last but certainly not least…… Creed, Nolan’s K9 partner. He’s a character all by himself and I loved him.

I very much enjoyed reading Lethal Wilderness Trap and getting to know all the characters. I also liked trying to figure out who did what and it wasn’t easy. That always engages me more because I want to find out if I was even close to guessing who it was.

Susan Furlong is a new author for me and I went and did some searching on her and her books. She’s written many books in different genres. I spied some in the southern cozy mystery genre that I’d like to try along with her other books.
