Snowbound

By: Blake Crouch

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

For Will Innis and his daughter, Devlin, the loss was catastrophic. Every day for the past five years, they wonder where she is, if she is - Will's wife, Devlin's mother - because Rachael Innis vanished one night during an electrical storm on a lonely desert highway, and suspected of her death, Will took his daughter and fled.

Now, Will and Devlin live under different names in another town, having carved out a new life for themselves as they struggle to maintain some semblance of a family.

When, one night, a beautiful, hard-edged FBI agent appears on their doorstep, they fear the worst. But she hasn't come to arrest Will. "I know you're innocent," she tells him, "because Rachael wasn't the first...or the last."

Desperate for answers, Will and Devlin embark on a terrifying journey that spans 4,000 miles from the desert southwest to the wilds of Alaska, heading unaware into the heart of a nightmare, because the truth is infinitely worse than they ever imagined.

Definitely Kept My Attention

What made the experience of listening to Snowbound the most enjoyable?

Interesting story that kept my attention trying to figure out where this was all headed. Also enjoyed the narrator.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Probably the female 'FBI' agent. I enjoyed trying to figure her out.

Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?

The daughter.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really. It's a quick listen and I never found myself wandering off while listening to it. However, no real strong emotions.

Interesting in the beginning but confusing ending!

Struggled to finish!! Confusing ending with all new characters towards end and it went fast!

Great, but one too many plot twists

This book starts fairly slow but picks up the pace rapidly. Once you start its hard to put down ( or stop listening). Having lost his wife and not sure she is dead or alive, Will Innis must run away because he assumes he will be the most likely suspects in his wife disappearance. (Just like the husband in Gone Girl). He is put on the hunt for his wife by a rogue FBI agent and then the action never stops. The plot is highly believable and keeps you guessing.

I would have given this one more star except for the ending. The author insists on one more plot twist (won't give away) that is unnecessary. If I had edited this book I would have cut last chapter. However, this is a great thriller and worth the credit. I would compare it to Gone Girl. Slightly more violent though. I can see this being a movie some day.

The Narration was 5 stars. Narrator handles both men's and women's voices quite well.

Good Book, not Great... Held my interest

This was a good book, not at the top of list as suspend novels go, but it held my interest. There were a few unexpected twists in there. Worth the listen if you have time. The Narrator was decent, he certainly did not spoil the book as a bad narrator does. All in all, it was a good book, not great, but it held my interested. I recommend.

Gripping...

Those wolfs kept me awake... until the truth on the story came, then I was horrified... Twisted, twisted....
