About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
A potential Bigfoot sighting is linked to a vicious murder, but skeptical cryptozoologist Morgan Carter is on the case in this new Monster Hunter Mystery by USA Today bestselling author Annelise Ryan.
Business has been booming since Morgan Carter solved the case of the monster living in Lake Michigan. The Odds and Ends bookstore is thriving, of course, but Morgan is most excited by the doors that were opened for her as a cryptid hunter.
Recently, there have been numerous sightings of a Bigfoot-type creature in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest area of Bayfield County, Wisconsin. After a man is found dead from a vicious throat injury in the forest, the conservation warden asks Morgan to investigate.
When Morgan and her dog, Newt, go there to investigate, they uncover a trail of lies, deception, and murder. It seems a mysterious creature is indeed living in the forest, and Morgan might be its next target.
My Review
Morgan Carter is busy running her Odds and Ends shop which, not only has books but some very strange items as well. Running the shop isn’t Morgan’s only job, though. She’s also a cryptozoologist. When she gets a job offer at Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin, she’s excited to jump right in.
Two men are dead and the citizens believe it was due to a Bigfoot. Morgan isn’t sure she’s buying into that theory, but she’s more than a little interested in doing some digging. Along with her trusty canine companion, Newt, Morgan delves into the mystery. It’s not long before she discovers something really horrifying is happening in this Wisconsin town.
This is the second book in the Monster Hunter Mystery series. It’s “edge-of-your-seat” reading with this one. The author does a wonderful job of painting a dark scenario which made this reader feel as if she was right in the middle of the story.
I enjoyed the first book very much and this one did not disappoint. The mystery is contained in this one book, but knowing the background information from the first book always makes it more enjoyable. The author does sprinkle background information throughout the book, though.
Morgan is a strong, yet vulnerable character. There’s a potential romance, but they are taking it slow, and it really works well doing that. The mystery always takes center stage in this book.
From page one until the end, I was captivated. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen, but I was good and did not peek ahead. This would make an excellent movie. I look forward to more adventures in this series.

That looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd buy the Bigfoot theory, either, but it sounds like a great book plot.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this one too and I loved how she handled the ending! Like you I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
