a big case of "it's not you, it's me!" for this one. this is a perfectly fine mystery novel, but I need to accept that I generally don't like traditional mysteries.

When Maggie Gaines left the FBI's behavioral unit and became a park ranger, she never expected to be confronted again with a murder, but after a gruesome body is found in the park, the memories of the meltdown she suffered on her first case have returned. She also doesn't expect to be confronted with her former partner who she never thought to see again after an ill advised kiss, but Vic Sutherland is assigned to the case, adding more complication to Maggie's life. Vic is chasing a serial killer who has been using national parks as his hunting ground, and even though he knows that their split was an uncomfortable one, Vic has never forgotten Maggie or what he once felt for her.

The Hunting Grounds is the second book in the Hidden Sins series and just like the first book, [b:The Devil's Daughter|31123731|The Devil's Daughter (Hidden Sins, #1)|Katee Robert|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1481913526l/31123731._SY75_.jpg|51453777], there are some questions left up in the air at the end of the story that I have to assume will be left unanswered. The rest of the book, however, includes enjoyable suspense and an interesting mystery set in Glacier National Park, which becomes a significant aspect of the story. The beauty of the park as well as its dangers add layers to the book, plus suspense in the chase to track down a killer. The limited number of suspects leads to several red herrings as the reader follows the main characters in solving the murders. Overall, The Hunting Grounds is a very good mystery/suspense story that, unfortunately, leaves very little room for romance.

I don't know why I was surprised by Katee Robert's writing in this book but I was. It was so good I really enjoyed the push/pull between Maggie and Vic. The actual mystery fell a little flat for me but overall I really enjoyed this book.
