Narrado por: PJ Freebourn

Jackson Clay used to be many things. An Army Ranger. A loving husband. A doting father. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, in the wake of unspeakable tragedy, he's simply the missing's last hope.

When quiet high schooler Sara Beth Parker disappears in the night from her home in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Detective Angela Cole is assigned the case. A black woman in a department full of white men, she's made a career for herself working harder and being better than the badges beside her. But when leads begin to dry up and her own peers start to question whether Parker was taken or simply ran away, Cole feels herself being pushed to the edge. And when an old colleague introduces her to Jackson, shell break her own rules and place any hope of finding Sara Beth in his hands.

Determined to breathe life into a case that has quickly gone cold, Jackson begins to unravel a tangled web of secrets and lies that put him in the crosshairs of a sociopathic killer and his heavily-armed cult a group that may be responsible for much, much more than just Sara Beth's disappearance. But enemies also have enemies, and when Jackson gains the help of a charismatic boor named Bear, together they'll take the fight to the cult, determined to bring Sara Beth home. THE WOODSMAN is "an unputdownable, suspenseful, and gripping book full of twists and turns." (Dawn Hosmer, author of Bits & Pieces)

Great start to a series

Enjoyed the audio very much. All of the characters were believable and it was a book with different situations in it that made it unique. Author showed a lot of creative talent which made it a great book to listen to. Have downloaded the second book in this series of five books.

Riveting Thriller

This was my first experience with B.C. Lienesch's work, and it was riveting. Once the audiobook started, my attention was so captured by the story, that I had to listen until the end in one sitting. Jackson Clay was once an Army Ranger. Now he has been asked to use his skills to locate a missing teenager. The story had several surprising twists and turns. Jackson Clay was a fascinating and complicated character. I liked Bear Beauchamp has he added some lightness in a very dark and tragic situation. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. P.J. Freebourn's narration was great, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review which included my opinions.

Action packed!

This is a very well written story and I really enjoyed it! It’s very exciting from start to finish and has a lot of suspense as well! Once I started listening, I didn’t want to stop until I knew how it was going to end!

Just ok

seemed to be more humor than suspenseful. character development was poor. not sure if id recommend it.

Wonderful depth of characters

I loved Jackson, Bear & Det. Cole!!! I hope this becomes a long running series with many more thrilling & wonderfully complex crimes for the three to solve.
