Description
An estranged mother and father join forces to uncover the truth about their missing daughter in a haunting novel about trauma, loss, family, and hope.
When patrolman Brandon Hall comes upon a broken-down car on a Colorado highway, he finds a young girl in a bloodied nightgown at the wheel. In the back seat, the brutalized body of a teenage boy. The girl will say only one word: Hurt.
When the girl is admitted to the hospital, the doctor on call is Brandon’s ex-wife, Olivia Blake. For Olivia and Brandon, the traumatized Jane Doe opens a floodgate of memories. It’s been four years since they shared their own tragedy—the unsolved disappearance of their eight-year-old daughter, Carly, and the end of their marriage. As Olivia focuses on Jane Doe’s care, Brandon makes a startling discovery: a series of disappearances from across the country, over decades, that could finally lead to the truth about their missing daughter.
But will unraveling the past trigger a backslide into grief, guilt, and obsession? Or is finding out what horrors lie in the Colorado mountains the only thing that can heal them, and the mysterious young girl in their care?
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Crook’s debut is a painful read, dealing with the loss of a child and child abuse, but the book is also incredibly heartfelt and beautiful. Themes of loss and grappling with grief shine through on every page, and one cannot help but empathize with Crook’s characters as they go on their harrowing journey.”—Booklist
“Angela Crook’s Hurt Mountain is a riveting family drama and asks, What happens to those who survive a crime? To the parents when a child is taken? How does anyone pick up the pieces that are shattered? This book dives into that and so much more. I was hooked by the tense emotions, and the mystery at the heart of this book was so well done. I can’t wait to see what the author does next!”—Amina Akhtar, author of Almost Surely Dead and Kismet
“A mystery within a mystery frosted with a rekindled romance. Hurt Mountain is suspenseful when it should be, with vivid, intense writing that sparkles. It’s spiked with some gut punches and the splintered, aching loss of family torn apart and found. Olivia and Brandon are characters I wish I’d created. Recommended.”—Jean Rabe, USA Today and Amazon bestselling author
