Those Who Wish Me
Dead by Michael Koryta (received through NetGalley)
4 stars
Ethan and Allison Serbin live in the mountains of Montana
and run a wilderness survival program.
An encounter with one of their previous clients leads them to taking on
a fourteen year old witness hiding from brutal murderers. Containing many good twists and surprises,
this book also has a lot of heart wrenching scenes because of the desperate lengths
gone to in order to save the boy. As in
Koryta’s prior book So Cold the River,
there are also forces of nature also at work as a massive forest fire provides
a menacing backdrop and the interesting tidbits about fighting wildfires and
survival techniques are an added bonus to the book. The two murderers that chase after the
witness are incredibly creepy and strange but seemed almost too other-worldly
to be completely believable. Otherwise,
this was everything a thriller should be and I found it thoroughly
absorbing. I received this book from
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
