Switchback: A Patrick Flint Novel Kindle Edition
All Patrick Flint wants is a peaceful getaway in the Wyoming mountains. He’s grown weary of the bicentennial celebrations, the angry families of patients, the rash of campers coming down from the mountains high on speed, and the midnight call-outs to cover for the town veterinarian.
But Flint’s family vacation takes a horrifying turn when his daughter Trish disappears—along with their camp, horses, and truck. Is she a runaway, or has she been kidnapped? The answer lies deep in the wilds of the mountains. And with a storm threatening to wipe out any trace of her, Flint must embrace his inner warrior, navigate treacherous terrain, and confront a deadly threat. With his family fragmented and time running out, it’s a desperate, heart-pounding race to rescue his daughter before the wilderness swallows her whole.

I couldn't put it down. The character's are great.
Great author. Thank you.
Patrick, his wife Suzanne, and their two children, Trish 15 years old, and Perry 11, are only two years out of the Dallas, Texas metro complex, so they are thoroughly enjoying the wilderness and their small-town experiences including horses. With the exception of Suzanne, who is a girly woman and doesn't really fit in with the more wilderness-oriented lifelong ladies of smalltown Wyoming. Hunting and fishing are not in her wheelhouse, nor doesn't she enjoy doing without the finer things in life - nice clothes, shopping, indoor toilets, and taking long bubble baths. Sleeping in a tent on the ground is not her idea of a good time. Horses now - she's a Texas girl so she loves horses. So there is that. But she probably would be happiest if the prospect of returning to her extended family and home back in Dallas was in their future.
Fortunately for Patrick, both kids love the whole wilderness experience and are of an age to master the things he loves about the change in their latitude, longitude, and altitude. The mountains are becoming their homeland. But there are also bad things in the mountains, and these few days in the novel Switchback are filled with them. Be ready for a compelling, fast-action ride. Pamela Fagan Hutchins will take you there. I can't wait for the next one, titled Snake Oil.
The book reads smoothly and the characters are individuals, though the descriptions of the dad make it seem like there is more violence hidden away in him than the book really uses. There is lots of character development here, and while there is no "mystery" there is tension and action. The action scenes are brief and not bloody. Language is very clean.
I think this is sort of a Hallmark adventure. The girl sort of gets religion during her trauma and everything works out even though the one murderer at one point takes a youngish woman in a bathrobe hostage and is all along with her in the woods....... but does nothing. Really? A respectful murderer? OK.
The children are as annoying as real teens. Of course they do everything they are not supposed to and that causes terrible problems.
But all is forgiven in the end and the family is all safe and grateful and back in their happy place. It all just seems a little unreal and too wholesome.......at least for me.
So this can easily read by teenagers as well as adults but may be better for kids who want an action thriller without all the sex, sexism, violence and male blustering that goes along with most mystery action books.
I'll read the next one, but if the kids don't shape up I am out of here.
