Review: The Last Track

The Last TrackTitle: The Last Track

Author: Sam Hilliard

Summary: Imagine if being late meant a child disappeared forever. That is the fear that drives Mike Brody: the man you want, when the one you love is missing.
Mike is more than just a master tracker. An ex-Special Forces operative, Smoke jumper, and now extreme adventure tour guide, he also possesses a unique ability to tap into the memory and emotional state of those he pursues.
In The Last Track, a police detective recruits Mike to help find an asthmatic boy lost in the dense woods surrounding a dude ranch in Montana. An unwitting murder witness, the boy burrows ever deeper into the rugged terrain, fearful of being found. As Mike and a local officer search for the boy, the killer follows them. While the investigation expands, his ex-wife, a well-connected journalist, uses her contacts to unravel the truth behind the murder.
Her discoveries threaten to snare them all in a treacherous conspiracy . . .

My Thoughts: I enjoyed this book. While it wasn’t couldn’t-put-it-down intense, it still was quite engaging. And it kept me guessing. I had a few times I thought I knew who was responsible for what, only to change my mind a few pages later. Come to find out, one of my first hunches was right on. (And that’s all I will say!) One of my favorite things is how ALL loose ends were tied up at the end of the book! This makes me very happy, as I like to know where everyone ends up. I really like Mike Brody, and am excited to know that this is the first Mike Brody novel. I look forward to seeing what is in store for Mike in the future.

My Rating: 3.5 stars

    Oh, I love stories that tie up every single loose end. Much as I love series', it's nice to have closure on the particular book you're reading and to not be left wondering.

    Thanks for the nice review, Heather. I'll make sure the next book also ties up all the loose ends.
