Amanda is planning a trip with Phil, a fellow aid relief worker. They shared a disastrous experience in Nigeria that leave them both scarred. When Amanda arrives in Newfoundland, she finds out Phil has taken his son Tyler into the wilderness on an adventure. His wife, Sheri, believes they are with Amanda which immediately worries them. Phil has been unstable recently and Sheri realizes the note he left behind could have been a suicide letter. She contacts the RMCP to investigate.
The book has a building pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I love books about Newfoundland. The author does a great job describing the scenery. Amanda is a strong woman. She has her own demons she is fighting but does it in a way that shows her strength and courage to continue. If you like mysteries with strong women characters, you may enjoy this book.
