Reader's Annotation: What was in the valley that was so bad?
Summary: Maura takes a brief workcation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where she meets up with a former classmate. As they leave the medical conference,what will become of them as they get caught in a snowstorm?
My Evaluation: First off, I would not recommend reading this out of order. There are lots of details that people must know and will be confused by if they do. That said, this book is excellent. I listened to it as an audiobook and it was sufficiently scary (though I was listening to it in a semi-strange house and at night) and Gerritsen throws in a lot of twists and turns. I can't wait to read the next book!
