I picked this book up after watching the first few episodes of the new series Tracker, which is based on this series. I mostly enjoyed it and will definitely continue on to the other books eventually, but it's definitely not something I could binge several books in a row. Deaver tells a great story, but often takes too long to do it and I generally find myself burning out by halfway through one of his books, and that was more or less the case here. It was a solid read, but one that felt a little drawn out by the end.

If anything, the main character didn’t have enough flaws. He could track, he could save lives, he could solve mysteries, he could woo the ladies. All from a Winnebago while unraveling the mysteries of he father’s death. 

I usually like Deaver, and I loved Blue Nowhere. I just struggled to get into this one. 

It’s not bad. It just feels like it’s checking the plot point boxes by rote.
