Waiting on Wednesday - Lost In Yellowstone

'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about.  I used to do this in the past and am making it a priority to do again.  Seriously, who among us doesn't have a book or two or twenty that we are excited about reading?  Plus, it lets us 'spread the word' about authors and series that we personally enjoy.

The book I'm sharing this week or rather 'waiting on' is by an author that I have not read as yet.  Nicole Maggi has a new series featuring a special agent in the National Park Service.  There is one other book out right now, A Murder In Zion, so this is #2.  The cover is what drew me in first.  I felt like I recognized the location from our trip to Yellowstone last fall.  Yes, intriguing.  And I know that the description is a little 'grim', but the geysers in that park are interesting to see and also not something you want to get particularly close to.  The park rangers have all kinds of rules for the safety of the visitors and some people pay attention to them and some don't.  Sigh.  Anyway, I hope to read the Zion Park book before this one comes out.  What do you think?  Curious?   

Lost In Yellowstone

by Nicole Maggi

Publication Date: May 5th

A foot in a geyser. A school in the wild. A truth no one saw coming.

When a human foot is ejected from a geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Special Agent Emme Helliwell of the National Park Service is assigned the chilling case.

Tasked with identifying the victim and uncovering what led to such a grisly end, Emme is drawn into the park's vast, unforgiving wilderness—and into the orbit of a private school for at-risk teens where extreme backcountry excursions are part of the curriculum. As disturbing truths begin to surface, Emme must also confront personal fault lines, including the unresolved tension with an ex-boyfriend who's suddenly back in her life and assigned to the same case.

In a place where danger hides behind natural beauty and good intentions can mask darker motives, Emme must navigate both treacherous terrain and emotional landmines to solve a mystery that could cost her everything.

Perfect for readers of C. J. Box and Lisa Gardner
