Publisher's Summary

National Bestseller

If the man you love went missing, how far would you go to find him?

Someone is watching Piper, and she thinks she knows who it is: the bushman. But there’s more than one danger lurking in this temperate rainforest. Poachers are taking down old growth trees and jeopardizing plans for a park, a project Piper is passionate about. When she pressures her husband, Ben, a natural resources officer, to identify the culprits, he takes his drone into the wilderness to track them down. And then, just as a snowstorm hits, he goes missing.

Refusing to believe her husband is gone, Piper begins a desperate search for him, one that continues long after the rescue team has given up. But as she begins to uncover what really happened to Ben, Piper is pursued by a stalker who may have taken her husband’s life and now threatens to take hers.

So many reasons why this is simply bad

The main character is annoying and unlikable. She is selfish, self-centered and impulsive. Teenage Noah shows more maturity and self-control. It seems that she has never had an unvoiced thought and throws around accusations without any foundation. She seems to have neither consideration nor gratitude for her friends and neighbours who volunteer to go out in the worst of weather on the toughest terrain. She takes off across the lake and into post-blizzard mountainside, ill-prepared, and without a single thought to those who would risk life and limb to find and retrieve her. I found myself cheering for the grizzly. I’m puzzled as to why anyone would want a relationship with such a person.

I enjoyed reading A Recipe for Bees. This book doesn’t measure up at all.

The narration was fine. I do think if you are reading a Canadian novel, it would be good to know how to pronounce “toque”.
