Ellie Price is determined to reach her father at the remote cabin she is certain he is hiding out at. But Ellie has no survival skills, and her lifetime of city living has left her unprepared for the wilds of Colorado. 
 George Holloway is her only hope of finding her father's hideaway. He grew up in these mountains and is the best on the Search and Rescue team. His tendency to avoid social settings, conversation, or interaction with his team meas no one really knows much about him, other than he is the best at what he does. 
 I really liked these two characters. While I had a hard time getting a good feel for George early on, especially with his lack of verbal inputs, as he warmed up to Ellie and became comfortable enough around her to open up, his story explained his reluctance to add to conversation. Ellie's enthusiasm and determination made up for George's silences and her ability to chip past his armor was fun to watch. 
 Most of the book is in Ellie's point of view, with a smattering of scenes from a few other characters. The few scenes from George's perspective really helped endear him to me. While there were times Ellie was naive about winter hiking in Colorado, and about how serious the cold can be, her focus on her father kept me from feeling like she was over her head. She listened to instructions (or inferred them from gestures) and did her best at all times. 
 There is a lot going on in this book. Nature is a huge obstacle for much of the plot, to the point that I almost forgot there was a murder in the wind and more going on than Ellie and George hiking in the mountains. I enjoyed the suspense, from the immediate conflicts as well as the series conflict. 
 I enjoyed Lou's continued involvement in the story, particularly her enthusiasm for matchmaking on the Search and Rescue team and her dedication to her white board. There isn't a whole lot of entire team interaction, but what is present in this book just reiterates what a close bunch most of this team is. 
 And that last chapter & paragraph! I was shocked to say the least, and I would caution those who enjoy reading the end before reading the whole book -- this is one surprise that is better left for the end, because otherwise you'll be chomping at the bit for In Safe Hands and will be ready for October long before the calendar changes. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
