Partial synopsis from Amazon:A relaxing day of rock climbing takes a disturbing turn when Kayden McKenna's route brings her face-to-face with a dead climber. Is it a terrible accident or something darker? When the case is handed to overburdened sheriff Landon Grainger, he turns to Jake Westin for help. With Jake's past now revealed, he's ready to use his talent for investigation again--but he could never prepare for where the mystery will take him.This is the fourth book in the series, and my ratings on the books have decreased with each new installment.
I did enjoy visiting Alaska and the McKenna family again. However, that is about all I feel this book has going for it.
It is lacking in the outdoor adventure aspects that I liked in the past. It was incredibly predictable - even the plot twist. But probably my dissatisfaction comes most from the ending, and that has shaped my view of the entire book.
The climax and conclusion came too swift. It felt forced, and the timeline even seemed inconsistent. And the result for the villain was anti-climactic at best.
Additionally, there was the whole plot thread of the initial dead climber that didn't seem wrapped up. The reader is left in doubt on if the right person was apprehended.
At this point, if there is a fifth book to cover Reef McKenna (the only remaining single McKenna), I will most likely not be reading it.
