About this listen

Former Army MP Mercy Carr and her retired bomb-sniffing dog, Elvis, are back in Blind Search, the sequel to the critically acclaimed A Borrowing of Bones.

It’s October, hunting season in the Green Mountains - and the Vermont wilderness has never been more beautiful or more dangerous. Especially for nine-year-old Henry, who’s lost in the woods. Again. Only this time, he sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the heart with a fatal arrow, Mercy thinks that something is murder. But Henry, a math genius whose autism often silences him when he should speak up most, is not talking.

Now, there’s a murderer hiding among the hunters in the forest - and Mercy and Elvis must team up with their crime-solving friends, game warden Troy Warner and search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear, to find the killer - before the killer finds Henry. When an early season blizzard hits the mountains, cutting them off from the rest of the world, the race is on to solve the crime, apprehend the murderer, and keep the boy safe until the snowplows get through.

Inspired by the true search-and-rescue case of an autistic boy who got lost in the Vermont wilderness, Paula Munier's mystery is a compelling roller coaster ride through the worst of winter - and human nature.

My comments:

Really enjoyed the second book in this series, it was gripping and just when I thought I knew who the killer was I was proven wrong. I did not figure it out before it was revealed and I really enjoyed how Mercy and Troy were patient with Henry and allowed him to reveal what he knew in his own way without pressuring him. It was fasinating how the dogs were so attached to Henry and protected him. I loved that aspect of the story. One of my favourite side characters in this book was Yolanda firebird I think that's a fantastic name for a character, really hope we might see her in future books. Looking forward to more books in this series.

loved this book a lot.

I gave this 3 stars solely because of the dogs. Narrator did nothing for the book either.
Not going to follow this series anymore.

3 stars for the dogs
