Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue mission. He's committed to finding the killer, even if it means working alongside his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors. When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a deadly turn--one that hits too close to home. As Terra fears she lacks the courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect her. But he's failed her before. And if he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts. Join bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth Goddard as she plunges you into a web of deceit made of hidden crimes, open threats, and long-buried family secrets in this gripping first book of an explosive new series.

I had trouble getting into the story and keeping straight the plethora of characters. It felt like I was constantly being distracted from one thing to see what another character was doing “Here, look over here” style, and that made it hard to stay focused. Also, the length is too short for the scope of the crime, which resulted in too much telling and not the amount of showing I prefer; so the tale stayed a bit distant and formulaic.

I loved the big twist near the end and would have liked a little more time to see that relationship developed rather than just “they are working through it” and dismissed out of hand.

I'll still read the next in the series to see if it's a little better balanced in terms of pacing and number of characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required. This review is based off a finished paperback copy I own.
