The storm sweeps in like a thief in the night...

Winter storm Holly is the worst in eighty years bringing high winds, subzero temperatures and snowfall better measured in feet than in inches. The weather paralyzes everything in its path, but, in this storm, weather isn't the only threat.

Maggie Carter’s life feels as unpredictable as the epic snowstorm sweeping the Northwest and bearing down on Minnesota. Her marriage to Joe is on the rocks and her daughter Kate is driving home from college for the holidays, perhaps the last they will ever spend together. As Maggie prepares for Christmas, the unthinkable happens. On the drive home her daughter vanishes. Even worse, she’s the third college girl to disappear near the frozen Superior Hiking Trail within the last two years. Is Kate trapped by brutal nature or is she in the hands of a monster? Maggie, a Search & Rescue handler, and Joe are galvanized into action. Can they find their daughter—and their way back to each other—before it’s too late?

My rating:

Maggie and Joe have bigger fish to fry than saving their marriage (if that's even possible); their daughter is missing, her GPS tracker showing her all the way up in Canada. Did she run away, or is something more nefarious at foot?


This story was all over the place and there was definitely too much going on. We're thrust in the middle of a crazy-psycho kidnapping plot without much preamble (or explanation, for that matter), the crazy psycho was rather incompetent, the MCs had problems with their marriage, mostly because the heroine was an idiot nine years ago and lost their babies, because she was too stupid to stay at home, but they refused to talk about it, their daughter (who turned into Rambo somewhere in between) got kidnapped and they were (oh, what a fortuitous coincidence) expert search-and-rescue dog handlers.

A lot of page-skimming ensued.
