Finished: One Step Too Far (Gardner) The second book in the Frankie Elkin series. Frankie is a middle-aged, recovering alcoholic with many past demons. She has given up all her worldly goods and travels the country looking for missing persons whose cases have gone cold. She's not a private investigator or with any police force. She's just a woman who wants to make a difference, and in doing so, maybe atone for her past sins. In the last book, she found her first live victim after the other 14 she'd found had been just bodies. In this book, Frankie travels to a small town in Wyoming to help search the remote woods for a young man, Timothy O'Day, who disappeared one night when camping with his four groomsmen-to-be. It has now been five years that he's been missing, and his mother is dying of cancer. Her one wish is that her husband finally find their son's remains and bring them back to be buried with her. Frankie ingratiates herself into the hunting party along with the hunting guide, a cadaver dog and her owner, the father of the missing man, an affable second guide who is mostly a hunter of Bigfoot, and three of the groomsmen who still feel a huge amount of guilt for what happened on the mountain that night five years ago. Of course, the groomsmen have a secret about that night, and only Frankie, with her good people skills, can get them to open up with one-on-one talks. In the meantime, their hunting party is in grave danger. There is a killer who knows the woods better than any of them who is hunting them down, determined not to let them see a cave where he's buried not just Timothy's remains, but the remains of seven other people as well. Frankie grows close to the groomsmen, the Bigfoot hunter, Bob, and Luciana, the owner of the cadaver dog, Daisy as they all face the obstacles and dangers together. Another great book by Gardner. I do hope she writes another Frankie Elkin book, but would also love it if she wrote more with old favorites Rainie and Quincy. :-)
