Narrator Susie Althens tells the story of traumatized Beth Rivers, who has moved to a small town in Alaska, where she plans to hide herself from the psychopath who kidnapped her back in St. Louis. The fear she lives with can be heard in her voice. Even though Beth is focused on her own troubles, she is drawn into the murder of a local girl and its possible association with girls staying in a halfway house. Benedict, Alaska, has a wide range of local characters, and Althens's delivery includes varied accents since residents mostly come from elsewhere. Many disparate subplots remain unresolved. This is the first in a new series titled Alaska Wild Mysteries, so perhaps listeners' questions will be answered in a later audiobook. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine -

This disappointing series launch from bestseller Shelton (the Scottish Bookshop mysteries) introduces Beth Rivers, a thriller author and recent kidnap victim, who flees from St. Louis to Benedict, Alaska, to hide from her attacker. With limited lodging available, Beth stays at Benedict House, a halfway house for criminals, where she does her best to acclimate herself to living with felons. When the Benedict police chief asks her to take over the village’s newspaper, Beth’s decision to write an article on the mysterious death of local Linda Rafferty lands her in the middle of a murder investigation. Her experience as a secretary for a small-town police department comes in handy. As she talks to a town full of potential suspects, she quickly realizes she’s not the only one hiding from something in Benedict. Too many unresolved subplots overshadow the intriguing setup and distinctive setting. In the end, Beth’s reason for moving to Alaska proves more interesting than the mystery behind Rafferty’s death. Agent: Jessica Faust, Bookends Literary.
