One Step Too Far

Beschreibung

"Frankie Elkin, who readers first met in Before She Disappeared, learns of a young man who has gone missing in a national forest. Law enforcement has abandoned the search, but a crew of people led by the young man's father are still looking. Sensing a father's desperation, Frankie agrees to help--but soon sees that a missing person isn't all that's wrong here. And when more people start to vanish, Frankie realizes she's up against something very dark--and she's running out of time. Timothy O'Day knew the woods, yet went missing without a trace on the first night of a bachelor party camping trip in the wilderness of Wyoming. Frankie Elkin doesn't know the woods, but she knows how to find people. Despite the rescue team's reluctance, she joins them. But it soon becomes clear that there's something dangerous at work in the woods... or someone who is willing to do anything to stop them from going any farther." -- adapted from cover.

Rezensionen

Praise for One Step Too Far

It s not often that a thriller so deeply casts us into the darkness of both nature and the human heart. . . . Terrifying, primal, and very, very tense. Read it with your heart in your throat but read it.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Gardner s latest series continues to excel; instinctual, tragedy-driven Frankie is one of crime fiction s most intriguing new sleuths.
Booklist (starred review)

The appeal of Lisa Gardner s second Frankie Elkin mystery lies mainly with the meticulously researched science and lore on surviving in the wilderness--and with the endearingly strange Frankie herself.
The Washington

Post

"Gardner's gripping sequel to 2021's Before She Disappeared . . . winds toward a surprising conclusion."
Publishers Weekly

"An authentic Wyoming setting, a tantalizing mystery, and a Labrador named Daisy. What s not to like?"
C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dark Sky

"Master storyteller and avid hiker Lisa Gardner has written the book she was meant to write, an immersive, propulsive, utterly chilling, and yet deeply moving wilderness thriller in which her intimate knowledge of and love for the rugged Wyoming backcountry shines through on every terrifying page. Without a doubt, the best book I ve read all year.

"And Then There Were None meets Deliverance. Gardner s latest will have you flipping pages at breakneck speed, guessing and gasping."
Linwood Barclay, author of Find You First

You ll root for Frankie (and for a diligent cadaver dog named Daisy) on every page of this tense, crackling read.
People

A hybrid combination of C. J. Box and Nevada Barr at their level best . . . this is thriller writing of the absolute highest order, as great a novel as it is a page-turner.
Providence Journal

Gardner can be counted on to send a shiver down the spine, but this one exceeds even her high standards.
Daily Mail

Beyond brilliant . . . A mix of beautiful prose and ingenious, intense, edgy dialogue . . . Perfect for fans of unputdownable, gritty cat-and-mouse mysteries, compassionate underdog protagonists with self-deprecating senses of humor, ruthless killers, and didn t see it coming, OMG endings.
Library Journal (starred review)

A tour de force in suspense and red herrings with a twist ending I did not even begin to anticipate.
Bookpage (starred review)

Riveting. I enjoyed every bit of One Step Too Far.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

As is her trademark, the thrills grow and the storyline gets more complex as the group goes farther into the wilderness. Gardner has another winning series to keep us up at night.
The Florida Times-Union

Everything you could ask for in a great mystery: secrets, suspense, excellent pace, and great characters.
Mystery and Suspense
