Susan Furlong, the Author of “Lethal Wilderness Trap” has written an intense, suspenseful and captivating novel. The genres for this novel are Mystery, Suspense, Romance, and Adventure. In this will written novel, Susan Furlong vividly describes the landscape and scenery, as well as her dramatic characters. There is such a sensory feel in the author’s description of the humid, damp, wet trees, and the various good and bad aromas, the differences of sounds, tastes and feels. There are betrayals, and the complicated and complex characters each seem to have secrets and could be suspect.
One of the female protagonists, Ava Burke and her young daughter Rose, are living with her father-in-law, Mac, after her husband’s traumatic death. Ava discovers a dead body in the barn, and investigative services begin. Somehow, most of the characters are suspicious, and Ava discovers secrets in the attic. Special Agent Nolan Shea is on the case with his partner Creed. I have fallen in love with Creed, and I am sure you have figured out that Creed is a specially trained dog that assists in these missions. Creed is also very good at the job.
There is danger, kidnapping, threats and murder. There seems to be a trafficking ring on this island, where there have been other missing girls. Someone seems to be targeting Ava and her daughter. There is someone involved in this group that is involved and responsible. Who is it? Or Who are they? I appreciate that the author discusses the importance of courage, honesty, determination, love and hope. I highly recommend this edgy and mysterious novel.
