FROM GOODREADS: Former Army MP Mercy Carr and her retired bomb-sniffing dog Elvis are back in Blind Search, the sequel to the page-turning, critically acclaimed A Borrowing of Bones
It’s October, hunting season in the Green Mountains—and the Vermont wilderness has never been more beautiful or more dangerous. Especially for ten-year-old Henry, who’s lost in the woods. Again. Only this time he sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the heart with a fatal arrow, Mercy thinks that something is murder. But Henry, a math genius whose autism often silences him when he should speak up most, is not talking.
Now there’s a murderer hiding among the hunters in the forest—and Mercy and Elvis must team up with their crime-solving friends, game warden Troy Warner and search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear, to find the killer—before the killer finds Henry. When an early season blizzard hits the mountains, cutting them off from the rest of the world, the race is on to solve the crime, apprehend the murderer, and keep the boy safe until the snowplows get through.
Inspired by the true search-and-rescue case of an autistic boy who got lost in the Vermont wilderness, Paula Munier's mystery is a compelling roller coaster ride through the worst of winter—and human nature.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I still need to read A Borrowing of Bones but I'm excited that soon, there will be two books in this series. I love all the books featuring rescue dogs we seem to be getting lately. Also, it's cool that this was inspired by a true story.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK?
I agree, I like that it was inspired by a true story. It's already such an unusual plotline for me, I want to see how this author pulls all this off.
ReplyDeleteYea and the fact that it takes place in a snowy setting is an added plus!
DeleteI didn't know that a new book was coming out in this series, Barb! I really liked the first book so am excited to see this one. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI remember you liked the first one and thought of you when I saw this one.
DeleteSounds like a good series.
ReplyDeleteI really have no excuse for not starting the first one by now.
DeleteI've noticed a lot of rescue dog stories are coming out too, which I think is a great trend. This sounds really good, onto the list it goes!
ReplyDeleteI know. Give the rescue pups their props!
DeleteOh wow! I have got to start this series!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteI like the mystery involved surrounding the case and that it is based on a true story. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW.
Thanks Lillian!
DeleteI love Mercy and Elvis! They're a great team. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat names too!
DeleteScary stories in the wilderness are the best! This one sounds good! Hope you love it Barb!
ReplyDeleteThanks I'm sure I will.
DeleteOoh this sounds tense, and I love a murder mystery/ thriller type story set in a snowstorm or harsh northern conditions. Yes please!
ReplyDeleteYes the snowy setting makes me ever more excited.
DeleteThis does sound good and I love that it's inspired by true events. Onto the wishlist.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D

ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia.

ReplyDeleteI have the first on Kindle if you ever want to borrow it.
DeleteI always love that you pick books with dogs on the cover! Hope you get your hands on this soon. Thanks for stopping by my Wednesday post at Lisa Loves Literature!
ReplyDeleteI strive to please. And since I'm always adding dog titles, I don't have much trouble finding them.
DeleteI don't think that I have read a book that features a rescue dog. I am really intrigued by this one. Thanks for sharing it! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot out there now featuring rescue dogs. A trend I can definitely get on board for.
DeleteOoh, dogs AND a wintry setting! I can definitely see the appeal :D
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Exactly!
DeleteI agree, based on a true story, is pretty cool. I love reading books about service dogs. They are so amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey really are.
DeleteThis one is new to be but I love the fact that it was inspired by a true story.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about the first in the series too.
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a cool book. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura.
DeleteThis sounds like a good mystery. I love that he has autism and that it takes place in VT. My daughters and I went last year and it's amazing there. So, I could picture myself there in the story. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteMary
It's always cool when you can picture yourself in a book.
DeleteSnowy setting and dogs sounds perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteYou know me well!
DeleteI don't think I could read a book with snow on the cover right now. Ha ha. Maybe in July when it's hot out. 😁
ReplyDeleteI really love snow in books - in real life, not so much!
DeleteOhh awesome CWW pick this is the first time I have heard or seen this book and it looks and sounds absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for stopping by my CWW Post last week Barb.
ReplyDeleteLook for the first one in this series since it's already out. I've heard good things about it too!
