Reply To: The Searcher: What did you think and why?

I agree with what’s being said here so far — the excellent atmospheric writing and the characters totally drew me in from the get-go of this book. Much like the Three Pines books, it was a seamless immersion into that world and those characters. I found Cal to be “my kind of hero;” very human, very sympathetic, and with a strong sense of right and wrong; a kind, caring, and capable person. Trey was a revelation, in a number of ways! She is also my sort of hero, in much the same way, and I admire her feistiness and determination. I was quite invested in the whole story, and IMMEDIATELY had to run to the library resources to get hold of and read the sequel! And, BTW, loved that as well!
