출판사 설명
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a chilling thriller about a young man gone missing in the wilderness of Wyoming . . . and the secrets uncovered by the desperate effort to find him
Timothy O’Day knew the woods. Yet when he disappeared on the first night of a bachelor party camping trip with his best friends in the world, he didn’t leave a trace. What he did leave behind were two heartbroken parents, a crew of guilt-ridden groomsmen, and a pile of clues that don’t add up.
Frankie Elkin doesn’t know the woods, but she knows how to find people. So when she reads that Timothy’s father is organizing one last search, she heads to Wyoming. Despite the rescue team’s reluctance, she joins them. But as they hike into the mountains, it becomes clear that there’s something dangerous at work in the woods . . . or someone who is willing to do anything to stop them from going any farther.
Running out of time and up against the worst man and nature have to offer, Frankie and the search party will discover what evil awaits those who go one step too far . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Gardner's gripping sequel to 2021's Before She Disappeared takes missing person cold case investigator Frankie Elkin, who describes herself as an "average, middle-aged white woman, short on belongings, long on regret," to Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest to join a search party for Tim O'Day. Five years earlier, Tim and four of his best friends set out into the woods for a bachelor party weekend; Tim, the future groom, disappeared without a trace. Every year since, Martin, Tim's father, has organized a search for his son's remains. This is to be Martin's last attempt. Frankie insinuates herself into the group, which includes Tim's four friends from the original trip. One day into their six-day trek, problems arise. From missing provisions and the sense of being watched, things escalate quickly, and the question becomes: who will survive? Fascinating details on cadaver dog training, as well as on camping and tracking in difficult terrain, complement the suspenseful journey as it winds toward a surprising conclusion. Readers will hope to see a lot more of the compassionate Frankie.

One step too far
This was book 2 of the 3 book series. I didn’t make it past the sample on book1, just didn’t seem interesting. The ending didn’t make sense. And the Hero-Frankie is a poor homeless drifter with no money who knows more than everyone else because she talks to everyone. It was interesting and a good read, but at times, had to skim through.
Just don’t…
I thought this would be an amazing read from all of the glowing reviews. This was such a drawn out boring book. It is extremely far fetched and way too detailed about how to survive in the woods. I thought it would get better and it never did. Had to scan the pages to finally get to a plot. The end was nothing exciting.
A step too Far
