Snowbound by Blake Crouch

Book Description
For Will Innis and his daughter, Devlin, the loss was catastrophic. Will’s wife, Devlin’s mother, vanished one night during an electrical storm on a lonely desert highway and, suspected of her death, Will took his daughter and fled. Then one night, a hard-edged FBI agent appears on their doorstep and says, “I know you’re innocent, because Rachael wasn’t the first…or the last.”

My thoughts
If you can past the little far-fetched opening of an attorney wife’s disappearance and then instead of the possibility of arrest, husband and daughter flee and then have a FBI-agent find you to tell you that not only does she think you are innocent, there were others abducted (this all in the first few pages), then you have a fast-paced, action packed, full of energy thriller.

Will Innis and his daughter flee their home after his wife Rachael is abducted and before the police can arrest him (although he is innocent) and lead a quiet life under an alias until he is found by FBI agent Kalyn Sharp and asked to help her track down the abductors. Is she telling the truth? Can she help them find closure? The chase to find the answers leads to a remote part of Alaska and the climax.

There were parts that were unbelievable but I took it as an escapist story and actually enjoyed the ride.

Disclosure: I borrowed this book from my local library.

Dan, have you read Crouch's last book? I'm wondering how this one compares. Also, did you see that he and three others have a new vampire ebook coming out soon?

Becky, if you mean Abandon, yes, I read that one and enjoyed it also. I also heard of the ebook and will hopefully, be reviewing it.
