Hidden in the Night

Missing in Alaska, Book 3

By: Elizabeth Goddard

Narrated by: Sara Farrington

IN THIS BREATHTAKING RACE FOR THE TRUTH, NOT EVERYONE WILL GET OUT ALIVE

At the behest of her ailing mother, former FBI special agent turned rare-book collector Ivy Elliott arrives in Alaska to secure an unpublished Jack London manuscript kept secreted away for decades. When she learns the manuscript is gone—taken by the granddaughter of the woman who possessed it—Ivy sets off in pursuit. She wants to save the priceless manuscript, but more than that, she must rescue the vulnerable girl, who was previously trafficked and has no idea what she’s getting herself into.

Joining forces with Alaska State Trooper Nolan Long, Ivy must battle a blizzard, sabotage, and the worst of an Alaskan winter as the search goes on. But every answer they find only raises more questions—and the danger to their lives and to the missing girl may be only the tip of the iceberg.

Not the best from Goddard

I usually love Elizabeth Goddard’s books. This one didn’t quite hit the mark, though, and I am going to return it. I think the main issue is the harsh nature of the narrator’s voice. She also does not do a terribly great job distinguishing between character voices. When I found myself looking at how much time was left in the book and bemoaning another few hours of listening to her voice, I knew that was my sign to go ahead and return the book. In addition, the storyline has felt like it drags and I haven’t been able to make a connection with any of the characters 3 hours into the book.

Kept me on my toes once I got into it!

It started out a little slow. I almost gave up on it, but glad I didn’t.
