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

The Friday 56: The Last Track

The Friday 56This is fun meme hosted at Storytime with Tonya.

Rules:

* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
* Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

As seems to be the case about 99% of the time, the nearest book is my current read. It’s The Last Track by Sam Hilliard. It’s pretty good. Look for the review in a couple of weeks.

The reflection of the passing man displaced the text and blinking cursor on his screen.

The Last Track by Sam Hilliard

Sean Jackson counted to four and exhaled.

It doesn’t strike me either way, especially not since I’m more than halfway through the book. It’s hard for me to go back and try to remember if it pulled me in. The first chapter most definitely did, and I’m guessing this is a sentence that makes you wonder what is going on. Why is he counting, why such concentration on exhaling? I know, but I’m not telling! ;-)
