Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Matt Goldman, with the audiobook wonderfully narrated by Fred Berman. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
After twenty years away playing soccer overseas, Clay Hawkins has returned to small town Riverwood, Minnesota, with his son Braedon. His relationship with his father, Judd, recently replaced sheriff, remains difficult. When Clay's uncle and Judd's twin suddenly disappears, all three Hawkins men must do whatever they can to find him.
I'm excited that this is the first in the series, and I'm already anxious to see what happens next in Riverwood. Know that it's more of a character study than thriller, but there was still a good mystery to figure out just what happened to Teddy. I liked all of the main characters and appreciated the themes of parental expectation, reconnection, and forgiveness - all with that small town feel. The narrator did a great job with all the voices and I liked having both formats to get fully immersed into this story.
