The Guide is a standalone novel, but if you read The River by this author, you will recognize the main character, or the Guide in this story. Jack is a fishing guide who takes a position at a remote resort in Montana with the hopes that he can find peace. What he finds instead are strange things happening at the resort and red flags that something is very wrong. This story will grab your attention, keep you guessing, and have you rooting for Jack and his client Alison. All the action is also held in a near future where a virus has people quarantining and distancing. It is an interesting and scary imagining of what could happen. Many thanks to Edelweiss for the advance review copy in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend this book!
3.5 stars...I really enjoyed The River and had high expectations for this book. I love Heller's writing and descriptions, especially of the natural world. Even though the story was propulsive, I found it a bit lacking. I'm not sure if it is because the end seemed rushed or I just wanted the mystery to have more meat on its bones. It is a short and quick read though, so pick it up if you are curious.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the digital ARC.
i'm falling in love w/ peter heller's writing but i always get lost at his endings
