Bob Gallagher is driving a tractor trailer on a mountain road in a snow storm. Unfortunately he ends up in an accident. Greg Tayler is a witness to the accident but feels there is more to it. No one will listen to him.

Soon after, Bob’s wife goes missing on the mountain. The staff at The Black Mountain Inn along with Bob Gallagher end up searching for her. Bob and Greg pair up and end up in some sticky situations.

As the search continues, Greg is still not convinced everything is as it seems. But can he prove his suspicions without someone getting hurt?

It took me a little while to put the pieces together and understand the mystery, but once I did it pulled me in. There are so many little happenings that you aren’t sure what is connected and what isn’t.

The author does a great job of creating a puzzle and only giving little clues to help solve the puzzle. She has created great characters and a wonderful setting. The climbing really adds to it as well.

I recommend you check out this new author and book. She’ll keep you guessing until the end.
