À propos de cet audio
For fans of Louise Penny, C. J. Box, and Nevada Barr comes a haunting crime novel set in Glacier National Park, where one man finds himself on a collision course with the dark heart of the wild and the even darker heart of human nature.
It was a clear, starry night in Glacier National Park. Fourteen-year-old Ted Systead and his father were camping peacefully beneath the rugged peaks and sweeping sky when the unimaginable happened: Ted's father was mauled by a grizzly bear and dragged to his death.
Now, 20 years later, as a special agent for the Department of the Interior, Ted is called back to investigate a crime that echoes the horror of that night. Only this time the victim was tied to a tree before the animal's attack. Ted teams up with one of the park officers - a man named Monty, whose pleasant exterior masks an all-too-vivid knowledge of the area. Residents of the nearby community are less than forthcoming. Suspicious of outsiders and intimately connected to the wilderness that surrounds them, they confront their fellow man and nature with equal measures of reverence and brutality. As the days pass with no clear answers, not only is human life at stake but so too is that of a majestic creature who carries with it valuable evidence. Ted's search for truth takes him far into the wilderness, on the trail of a killer, and eventually to a shocking and unexpectedly personal conclusion.
Rich in atmosphere and evocative, lush descriptions, The Wild Inside is a gripping debut novel about the wondrously perilous intersection between man and nature.

As to presentation: R.C. Bray is among my top five audiobook performers - and he's on his game in this one. His voice-acting is a little bit limited (given the author's fairly specific accent parameters in-text), but does his very best to elevate the book. Blackstone Audio Inc. cast this project brilliantly.
I rate 'The Wild Inside' 7/10 stars. It's overly focused on developing the 'Ted Systead' character, annoyingly plodding at times, and relatively unimaginative in terms of plotting - but worth your time if you can get it as a 'Plus' option. It may even be worth your Credit if - like me - you're impressed by capable character exposition.
It wasn't good enough to prompt me to continue with the 'Glacier Mysteries' series of books, mind you.. but was a solidly entertaining distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons.
[NOTE: The amount of jurisdictional conflict in this story is mindblowing. I appreciate Carbo's dedication to authenticity, but the emphasis given to Federal vs State vs Local vs Park Police authority (logistics, really) is inordinate & slightly offputting]
