Overview
Lost Hours is the fifth instalment in Paige Shelton’s gripping, atmospheric Alaska Wild series.
A year after arriving in Benedict, Beth Rivers is feeling very at home in Alaska, even as outsiders are starting to return to enjoy the brief summer perfection. Beth feels like she’s finally let go of most of her demons. She’s even found her father, Eddy Rivers—or, rather, he found her—and she’s trying to find the middle ground between anger and forgiveness.
One sunny July day, Beth boards a tourist ship to see the glaciers, the main reason visitors venture to the area, and something Beth hasn’t attempted until now. But when the captain has to navigate to an island, a bloodied woman is found standing on the shore, waving for help. When she’s brought aboard, she claims she was kidnapped from her home in Juneau three days earlier, and that a bear on the island killed her captor. She, however, is unharmed.
The woman, Sadie, finds a sympathetic ear in Beth. She tells her that she’s been in Juneau under witness protection, and that the Juneau police don’t like her. When another kidnapping occurs, Beth and police chief Gril can’t help but think the two cases are interwoven, though the clues to solving them will be harder to unravel.
Review
Sadie is found by a tourist boat. She is found standing on the shore covered in blood. She insists that she was kidnapped but a bear killed her kidnapper. The more the police investigate, the more they discover clues to another kidnapping case.
If y’all follow me at all, you know Alaska is one of my favorite places to read about. And I flew through this book. I read it on the plane ride back from NYC. I have also read another in this series, Winter’s End, book 4. I also gave it 3 stars. And the reason for the 3 star ratings is the story could be a bit more intense in places. But, I love anything set in Alaska and this story has good characters to go along with the great setting!
Beth is a character which is a bit broken. She has some issues from her past which she is having trouble dealing with. This is the reason she connects with Sadie…or does she? There is a lot surrounding Sadie and her situation that is just a bit odd. You will need to read this to find out!
Need a good mystery in a great setting…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
