Really enjoyed this mystery that picked up speed to a racing finish.  And with this being my first Lisa Gardner book, hope to read more of hers in the future.

I was very excited to get another Frankie story!! Quite a unique setting of being off-trail hiking in the woods. Even before things got tricky for the group, I was thinking "I never want to go on that strenuous of a hike" and that was reinforced even more by the end. While I kind of saw the reveal coming of the villain being a local, the exact who and why was still interesting and I continue to enjoy Gardner's stories and characters. The worst part of her books is always the end because that means the wait until the next one begins.

I don't know about you guys but I am a huge Lisa Gardner fan! There are very few of her books that I haven't read!

In One Step Too Far we follow Frankie Elkin as she helps search for a missing man in the national forest. Even though the police have given up a group of people including the man's father hasn't. And Frankie being who she is can't turn them away. It doesn't take long for her to figure out that there is something a lot darker going on.

Such a thrilling suspenseful ride! A thriller that gives you the chills but also has humor and heart is such a wonderful mix! I really couldn't read this fast enough! I love Frankie Elkin. She is far from perfect but she is still a good person but I also enjoyed getting to know Frankie a little better. But honestly every single one of the characters are wonderful. Each one has something that makes you want to get to know them better. The setting of this story is the dark and huge woods of the national park, perfect setting for a thriller! I wonder what the next adventure Lisa Gardner has planned for us in the next Frankie Elkin series!

Eight people went into the woods. How many will come out?

Thank you Dutton Books for sharing this wonderful mystery with me!
