Publisher Description
Vipassana: a Pali term that means to see things as they truly are.
The Great Allegheny Passage, a 150-mile biking and hiking trail, runs from Downtown Pittsburgh’s Point State Park to the picturesque mountain town of Cumberland, Maryland. Bodhi King sets off to hike the length of the trail, certain that the unspoiled landscape, rolling rivers, and sweeping mountain vistas will soothe his weary soul and clear his clouded mind. For a while, they do.
Then, on the third day of walking, the forensic pathologist discovers an abandoned bicycle just off the path. Searching for its owner, he finds a full backpack, one cycling shoe, and, most troubling of all, a fresh blood stain in a tunnel.
He detours to the nearest town to contact the authorities and learns a local woman has gone missing. Joining the search for Aurora Westin, Bodhi somehow finds himself leading a ragtag party of townspeople, through-hikers and bicyclists, and the town’s visually impaired, retired police chief.
As the search party ventures further from town, dark secrets and old wounds come to the surface. Bodhi’s team of volunteers have their own agendas for finding the missing woman—not all of them righteous, some of them possibly evil. Bodhi will be forced to take an unwavering look into the hearts of the searchers if they’re all going to make it out of the woods alive.
Customer Reviews
Clear Path is great
In the last month I have read a Jack Reacher, Jack Ryan and now a Bodhi King novel. Clear Path by Melissa F. Miller is clearly my favorite of the three. Why you ask? Three important reasons. First, I could not determine who did it until the very end. I like the author to keep me guessing. Second, the length of the book is perfect as it requires me to invest several reading sessions to complete and I might add enjoy but it is not too long to lose interest. Lastly, Melissa F. Miller is complete in her research for the background of the book and she keeps it clean and agreeable. I always learn things in all of her books about an area or a subject or whatever. Perhaps you will find additional reasons why you like reading Clear Path.
Five stars aren’t enough!
It is so hard to pick a favorite Melissa F. Miller character, but Bodhi is definitely a top contender. I always look forward to Bodhi’s books and they never disappoint. “Clear Path” may be my most favorite yet. I was on the edge of my seat with every turn of the page and was surprised by the end! I was caught in the same conundrum with every Miller book where I want to hurry up and read it because it’s so good and making myself slow down so I could savor it.
I was provided an eARC.
