review 1: I read about 7% of this book and found it too pedestrian and error filled to continue reading. The central character Jake Trent (a horrible cliche of a name) was introduced with lengthy and incoherent background, e.g. no motivation for move from prosecutor to defense attorney except the love interest which wasn't convincing. The description of the acquisition of a B&B didn't hold water. The introduction of Noelle was just plain unbelievable. A Park Service employee would, as a matter of course, obtain the information she just happened to overlook. The use of the word "just" did me in. Too place an important plot element as an aside, just, just doesn't work. Not worth my time and effort when there's so much good material to read.
review 2: Jake Trent a retired a... morettorney turned fishing guide just can't leave his old investigative job alone, and looks into some strange deaths in Jackson Hole where he lives, one of the victims he finds himself. Jake is not alone, Noelle Klimpton a park ranger is also curious and teams up with Jake to try and solve the mysterious deaths. All the time minor earthquakes continue to increase in frequency and intensity, adding tension to the already tense situation. The author builds up suspense very well producing an excellent page turner with no dull chapters. He also explores the concept of governments working on projects behind the public's back, starting with good intentions but losing the plot. I recommend you read this and be well entertained whilst exploring the countryside of Wyoming less
