Resumen del Editor

Is she following a path of redemption or an enemy’s revenge? A crime reporter’s traumatic past comes back to haunt her in a twisting novel of lies, betrayals, and killer secrets.

Investigative crime journalist Signe Gates’s life became a nightmare the day she was kidnapped and drugged. After forty-eight missing hours, she woke to a blur of unsettling memories and a warning from her unknown abductors: tell anyone what happened and they’ll die. They’ve already proved they will deliver on that threat.

For two years, Signe has been haunted by what she knows she did and terrified of what else could be buried in her memories.

Then an informant tells her two men recently found dead in Yosemite are connected to her missing hours, and more answers await her in the park’s backwoods. But she must hurry. Desperate to know who targeted her and why, she has no choice but to embark on the dangerous journey.

With a seasoned hiker acting as her guide, Signe ventures into the wilderness to solve a crime, get justice for the crimes committed against her, and overcome her demons. If only she could trust the man leading her into the backwoods…

Because with each new suspicion, deliverance is starting to look more and more like a trap.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Grant skillfully shuffles familiar tropes and writes with precision and pace, keeping the stakes high by intermittently casting suspicion on the three most prominent men in Signe’s life.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The plot clips along at a satisfying pace, and Grant pulls off several successful surprises…”—Publishers Weekly

“The Buried Hours is an intensely emotional ride, dark yet so very satisfying. Grant's characters are immediately compelling, her storytelling taut and intelligent. I couldn't put it down!”—Karen Rose, New York Times bestselling author

Two out of three

The narrative for Cole should have found out how to pronounce “Tagalog” and “lichen” before embarking on the project. It’s very distracting, & IMHO unprofessional when a narrator doesn’t bother to find out correct pronunciation of words, especially when they’re used frequently.

Twisted Tale

I really enjoyed the twists in this story. It’s a story of brutal betrayals and deceit, not for the faint of heart, but uncovering the truth is freeing for both the characters and the reader.

So damn good!!!

Ok so it’s weird to hear Kathleen early as anyone other than Sara Linton (Will Trent) but she is one of my favorite narrators and the reason I picked this book!
It was so good. So gripping. I loved the crime aspect - the twists and turns. Just so good. 10/10 recommend.

Her characters story

Compelling to listen to. The details and events description, the twist she adds to the book and the fast pace of the book…all very good as expected. Her characters- make you want to cry, laugh and smile sometimes all three in one sentence!

Great!

I'm not sure if I have listened to a book by this author before, but I liked this one enough to seek out more.

Who Do You Trust?

Holy cow. I can always trust Rachel Grant to provide a tightly woven romantic suspense novel, and this one completely falls into that category. From the intrepid female reporter who has a haunted past to the sadistic beast who keeps texting/taunting her, this is a pure thrill ride. Add a man who looks like he's ready to audition for Hollywood, an ex-husband who couldn't stand his wife's past, and some crazy dirtbags and you've either got a great thriller or the makings for an epic party at the national park.

The characters here are well-developed, and most are engaging. Some are just easy to loathe... But they all catch the reader's attention for some reason. The plot travels at a sprinter's pace through this marathon of broken dreams, violent threats, and frightening realities. It's nearly impossible to know who to trust here as Signe and the Hollywood Hunk face challenges no one should have to deal with.

Wow!!!

The Buried Hours are full of twists and deception. R.S. Grant impressed me with her writing style. I did not figure out the direction it was going. The narrators are fantastic bring the characters to life.

Keeps you wondering

All the twists in the plot were great for keeping you guessing and not knowing what was coming next.

Dark and Gritty

This was a lot darker than any of Ms Grant's previous novels. I suppose, that's one reason to publish this story under RS Grant. I was very disappointed that the narrators consistently mispronounced tagalog. People, it's pronounced tuh-gaa-luhg. That's the only criticism I have. While this story was darker than I expected, it was gritty, filled with twists and betrayal... and a happy ending!

Trigger warning

This story centers around a brutal rape. Readers should be aware before purchasing the novel.
