This was a new to me author and it is set in Minnesota. This one was in the Twin Cities but it also was up on the Gunflint Trail. Both places are close to places I’ve lived. I did not like the main character in the first book. I did not like him in this one either. I think at person is suppose to like him in spite of his flaws because of the terrible thing that happened to him, but I was unable to have that response. I just don’t like him. I really did not like this story. It has no redeeming qualities in my opinion and I won’t read anymore in the series. Done! ( ) An excellent book, as expected from this author. Also expected, it was deep, dark, and descending, as expected from the title. There was a lot going on in the story, but it ended pretty much the only way it could. But the story about how it got there is what made it a good book. I think there are some lessons to be learned from this story, such as the effects of hate and revenge, and the importance of knowing where the road will lead before you start, because sometimes, it's a one-way street and you can't go back. Now, I need to read something light, like a Walt Longmire or Andy Carpenter series. This review is for the audiobook version of The Deep Dark Descending by Allen Eskens. I have to say that the narrators for Eskens books have all been wonderful so far. This one is excellent. The voice works with the characters and the story and drew me completely in. The story was also very good and even though I didn't really like how this one played out in the end, I'm still a fan of Eskens books. They are very well written and I automatically read every one as it is released and have now started to collect the audiobooks and am working through his back list again. I highly recommend! no reviews | add a review

Homicide Detective Max Rupert never fully accepted his wife's death, even when he believed that a reckless hit and run driver was the cause. But when he learns that in fact she was murdered, he devotes himself to hunting down her killers. Most of his life he had thought of himself as a decent man. But now he's so consumed with thoughts of retribution that he questions whether he will take that last step and enact the vengeance he longs for. On a frozen lake near the U. S.-Canadian border, he wrestles with a decision that could change his life forever, as his hatred threatens to turn him into the kind of person he has spent a career bringing to justice.
