Mortal Fall

A Novel of Suspense

De: Christine Carbo

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

A wildlife biologist's shocking death leads to chilling discoveries in Christine Carbo's haunting and compelling new crime novel set in the wilds of Glacier National Park.

Glacier National Park police officer Monty Harris knows that each summer at least one person - be it a reckless, arrogant climber or a distracted hiker - will meet tragedy in the park. But Paul "Wolfie" Sedgewick's fatal fall from the sheer cliffs near Going-to-the-Sun Road is incomprehensible. Wolfie was an experienced and highly regarded wildlife biologist who knew all too well the perils that Glacier's treacherous terrain presents - and how to avoid them.

The case, so close to home, has frayed park employee emotions. Yet calm and methodical lead investigator Monty senses in his gut that something isn't right. So when whispers of irresponsibility or suicide emerge, tarnishing Wolfie's reputation, Monty dedicates himself to uncovering the truth - for the sake of the man's family and to satisfy his own persistent sense of unease.

Monty discovers that Wolfie's zealous studies of Glacier's mysterious, embattled wolverine population, so vital to park ecology, had met resistance, both local and federal. To muddy the waters further, a wilderness facility for rehabilitating troubled teens - one that Monty's older brother attended - may have a disturbing connection to the case. As Monty delves further into an investigation that goes deeper than he ever imagined, he wrestles with the demons of his past, which lead back to harsh betrayals he thought he'd buried long ago.

And then a second body is found.

If you’ve been to Glacier Park you will love this book

We rode our motorcycle through the park and surrounding area’s. The description of the area is spot on.
Great story telling with each book building on itself.
Audio narration I’d very soothing.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Great story. Love the descriptions of the park, personalities and scenery. Makes me feel like I'm back there again.

A very riugh attempt at a murder mystery

Did it have an editor? Needed one. Too breathy. the story and the narrator. tried to tell a complex story but then seemed to get lost. And so it was wuickly brought to an end using a thin side thread. And lots left unsaid.

not as awesome as the 1st one

what else can I say, I love the reader, book was ok. just not nearly as good as the 1st one.

Deeply flawed protagonist makes this believable

Nothing like an unlikable main character to keep one interested. I kept waiting for his comeuppance after he continually insults and offends friend and enemies . The setting is grand, dialogue effective, the tension constant. The side story is the struggle to maintain the park and all the factions that want a part or want to defund it.

I’m always surprised

By the quality of some of the books included in the membership. As a mystery lover, this book fulfilled my checklist of needs in a good read. Relatable characters- check, good storyline- check, good ending that tied up the ends - check. The narrator was very good, and although I wanted a happier ending, sometimes that just isn’t realized. Good job, girl!

Depressing narration, damaged yet sanctimonious main Character

The title says it all. The main character doesn’t seem to realize how damaged he is. He looks down on others and is angry most of the time

Well done!

Fantastic story! The narrator was excellent. I really enjoyed this one as much as the first in the series!

Can't sing enough praises!

What did I like? I love EVERYTHING about this author, her writing, the characters the exquisite descriptions and the narrator!

A great read!

Good suspense, believable characters.

I just discovered Christine Carbo and can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
