Publisher's summary

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.

Fast pace non stop action.

This book captured me from the start.. I love Blake Crouch but this one is my favorite. I did not want the action to end. This book kept you guessing trying to figure out who is really a good guy . This is my summer favorite

Depravity

This was a good story but parts reminded me of a fast action film, some parts are a little improbable, however, it was an interesting mystery with a surprising ending.

When a new lead in a very cold case arises a man and his daughter set out on a hopeful journey to find their missing wife and mother, who mysteriously disappeared five years earlier. I Think our society has far too many twisted people in it, the depths of human depravity are astounding.

Jeffrey Kafer's narration was done very well and it definitely helped to keep my attention on the story. Good well rounded characters with believable personalities. Fast moving, with thorough but not over done descriptions of places and surroundings.

Excellent novel..one of the best mysteries around

I very much enjoyed listening to this narration of a great mystery. This was one of those books that seem written to be narrated for an audio book and the narrator was the perfect choice for it.

Highly recommended for those who enjoy mysteries

Secret, Sinister and Sequestered

Wow! I did not see this coming! I couldn't have imagined a storyline so depraved. What starts as a missing persons case, then becomes a fugitive on the lam story turns into a fight against organized crime and the most lethal of opponents. While the ending isn't all happy, it seems right. Expect a roller coaster of changing alliances, competing interests and the lure of corruption propelled by money. Jeffrey Kafer was good. Blake Couch was great!

Somewhat entertaining

Too many dumb decisions by all characters. Similar to a bad horror flick where no one has great critical thinking skills.

full of action!

sit on the edge of your seat book. It's very hard to put down. Great storyline and full of action and twist.

Fantastic

Would you listen to Snowbound again? Why?

Yes, The story was so full of twists that I am sure I have missed some..........

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, because I would think I knew what would happen then I would change my mind with every chapter

What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?

He sounded great and made the story real

Loved it!

If you could sum up Snowbound in three words, what would they be?

emotional, disturbing, addictive

What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?

I do like his voice. there isn't a high level of emotion, but it is there some. He does do pretty good voices for different characters. He has a really good cop voices. So for some of the characters the voice is really good. I like it all together.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! of course I couldn't because I had to take breaks and do other things, but I missed this book every time I had to stop it.

Great book.

This book is similar to the Luther Kite series in how it pushes boundaries. It almost makes me feel unfortable like a good horror movie.Not for the weak of heart.

Entertaining

Enjoyed. But at times confusing. Smoother transitions needed. Favorite part was probably the character of the bitter Jack London-To Build a Fire cold in parts of Alaska. Finally, Mr. Crouch I'm sure could find spots for more in-depth character development without sacrificing interest. Beat expectations though. Held my interest. You won't be bored.
