Book Reviews of Killer View
Book Review: Nice views, unbelievable action
Summary: 2 Stars
As a travelogue of the nice Sun Valley area, this is a readable book. The plot is far-fetched, but works, with a few unbelievable parts thrown in. Sheriff Fleming's personality, for example. In one place after another, the author emphasizes how Walt has learned to not react quickly to situations, to be calm. But when he gets a phone call about his wife and children, nothing terribly bad, he throws his phone across the living room, breaking the glass in the window! There is also the unbelievable recovery of his deputy sheriff, badly wounded on Tuesday, shot, with an exit wound in his shoulder the size of a golf ball, blood spurting out, and the next day the same plucky deputy going with Walt on a hard outing up in the mountains. Added to this is the description of the sheriff riding a glider up into the mountains, it getting pitch dark, and managing to land the glider in a small snowy meadow area near the cabin holding the villain. This guy is something. But the story does end, and while we don't know much more about Walt's possible relationship with Fiona, looks like we'll know more when the next Pearson book comes out.
Summary of Killer View
Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming returns in a stunning new thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.When a skier goes missing at Sun Valley's Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out into the snowy night. Despite the treacherous conditions, Walt and his group, including deputy Tommy Brandon and Walt's best friend, Mark Aker, set off on skis, accompanied by highly trained search dogs. Within minutes, something goes horribly wrong: a shot rings out, and one of their team is dead. By morning, Mark Aker has disappeared.
Torn between professional responsibility and the desperate urge to find his friend, Walt is further challenged by an unexplained illness at a local water-bottling plant that sends workers to the hospital and sets off biohazard warnings. Following threads of questionable evidence through the glitter of Sun Valley leads Walt to an unlikely-and darker-source, and reveals a crime played out on a much larger scale than he originally envisioned. Waist-deep in snow and knee-deep in lies, the life of his friend in the balance, Walt begins to suspect that the whole operation is controlled by people of great wealth and power, which leaves him where he started: out in the cold.
From adrenaline-charged start to explosive finish, Killer View is heart-stopping suspense at its very best.
