BOOK BLURB

Deputy Sheriff Eli North has spent the last year getting his life back together. He hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol, he’s working through his PTSD from his military deployment, and he’s repairing his most important relationships. When an undercover informant disappears and all signs point to murder, Eli must expose the dark underbelly of his idyllic Wisconsin small town while safeguarding his newfound stability.

Then, with the unexpected arrival of FBI Agent Alyssa Mason, Eli and his mother, the sheriff, are pulled deeper into a violent criminal network built on the backs of the lost and forgotten.

As the case deepens, loyalties fracture and the line between justice and survival begins to blur. In a town where everyone has something to hide, exposing the truth may cost them everything.

MY REVIEW

Deputy Sheriff Eli North’s latest case involves a missing informant who is presumed dead.

Wildwood is the second book in the Northwoods series. While Wildwood can be read as a standalone novel, I recommend reading the first book in the series, Northwoods, to better understand the characters.

Wildwood is told using dual points of view and timelines – present and past. The present is told from Eli’s POV, and follows the investigation. Eli is flawed and has his struggles, but he’s a strong investigator. Also working on the case are Marge and Alyssa. Marge is the sheriff and Eli’s mother. Alyssa, an FBI agent, is a good addition to the team. The past POV is from Trinity, the victim.

The characters are complex and interesting. The mystery is gripping. Wildwood is a suspenseful read for fans of police procedurals.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
