Publisher Description
"Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city and the daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas and has moved to the small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her dog, Huck, discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer search-and-rescue mission, she’s perplexed, but she carefully photographs it all the same. All Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city slicker—with her designer jeans and shiny car—who has no business on a serious team made of seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells him of her findings on the trail, he sees there’s more to her than meets the eye. Ava’s discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the campsite further, another woman disappears under odd circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and their own electric chemistry to solve the case."
Customer Reviews
LOVED IT!
I love this book I wish I would’ve read it sooner! I love the storyline and the characters they are all written, so good, and I did love the narrator she did such a good job! I’ve been reading all of Laura‘s Griffin books, and each one are a
soo good!
So glad I purchased this audiobook!
I loved this audiobook. My first time with this author, but not my last. The storyline had no slow, boring parts where I started to lose interest. However, there were a couple of plot lines I didn’t think were resolved sufficiently. I almost didn’t buy it because of the breathiness of the narrator’s voice in the preview, but I overcame it and it didn’t bother me after all. I’m so glad I bought this audiobook!
So glad I found this author!
This review is of Vanishing Hour by Laura Griffin. It is one of her stand alone books.
I don’t remember who recommended this author to me, but I’m so glad they did!
Vanishing Hour is an amazing book about a search and rescue dog and his owner. Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has moved to western Texas with her dog. Deputy Sheriff Grant Wycoff doesn’t realize she’s more than just a pretty face until she and her dog Huck find an abandoned camp site. This is the beginning of a fast paced story about missing women and the attempt to find a killer. The descriptions of the park areas are so real, I could feel the heat even though it just snowed here yesterday! And the characters are so well developed, you understand them and their actions. I listened to the audiobook and am just as impressed with the narrator Julia Atwood. The book seems to be moving slowly, but the reader can feel the tension building as they get closer and closer to the killer. I had plenty of things I needed to do, but the book pulled me in and I couldn’t stop listening.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
