I liked the first installment in Ridley Pearson’s new series, following Idaho sheriff Walt Fleming. This second entry shows that the first wasn’t exactly a fluke, but it’s also not quite the book it should be.

This time around, Walt’s involved in a complex case involving two different incidents, that happened pretty much at the same time. First a local was killed, followed quickly by the disappearance of his brother. The brother is a veterinarian, and immediately after his disappearance his assistant, an attractive woman, wanders into a hospital emergency room with date rape drugs wearing off, obviously a victim of sexual assault, but she can’t remember anything. It becomes obvious pretty quickly that the incidents are connected, and Walt sort of investigates, but his wife, her infidelity, and the rest of his life get in the way from time to time.

I enjoyed the book for the most part, but I will say one thing: it should have been about 50 pages shorter. At times the story drags in the middle. I think Pearson needs an editor, one with a hard head who will tell him to tighten things up a bit.
Killer View: : Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming returns in a stunning new thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.

When a skier goes missing at Sun Valley’s Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out into the snowy night. Despite the treacherous conditions, Walt and his group, including deputy Tommy Brandon and Walt’s best friend, Mark Aker, set off on skis, accompanied by highly trained search dogs. Within minutes, something goes horribly wrong: a shot rings out, and one of their team is dead. By morning, Mark Aker has disappeared.

Torn between professional responsibility and the desperate urge to find his friend, Walt is further challenged by an unexplained illness at a local water-bottling plant that sends workers to the hospital and sets off biohazard warnings. Following threads of questionable evidence through the glitter of Sun Valley leads Walt to an unlikely—and darker—source, and reveals a crime played out on a much larger scale than he originally envisioned. Waist-deep in snow and knee-deep in lies, the life of his friend in the balance, Walt begins to suspect that the whole operation is controlled by people of great wealth and power, which leaves him where he started: out in the cold.

From adrenaline-charged start to explosive finish, Killer View is heart-stopping suspense at its very best. – read more.
