1.0 out of 5 starsToo Many Inaccuracies!
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2013
The story line may be a good one, I don't know as I won't finish this, but there are so many inaccuracies that I can't read with any sort of belief. Let me give you examples. In Chapter Seven Mallory and Mike go to a hamburger restaurant in a town the size of six. Mike is a resort owner and has been there before with other guests, yet has to introduce himself to the owner/cook. In reality, Mike would be an important man, and in a small town it's well known who can help you if they choose--the owner would have welcomed him, not had to introduce himself. The cafe owner tells Mallory that he is the postmaster, yet later, looking around the town (with six inhabitants???) they stop in front of the post office. (???? No, there would be no post office, just a sign designating the hamburger place as offering postal service; there would never be a separate building in a town with 6 inhabitants!! On the way back to the ranch, they come across a car that's been caught in a flash flood. Mike wades in up to his waist to see if anyone needs rescuing. (Sorry, but anything over 2 feet of rushing water is impossible to stand in.) On the way back to the shore, Mike slips and Mallory wraps the rope around her waist, another action that is not only dangerous, but would be impossible to perform while the man on the other end is being pulled downstream. Please! If the writer is ignorant of facts about small towns and flash floods, etc., her editor needs to contribute knowledge or urge research, interviewing firemen or someone with actual experience. When parts of the story are so unbelievable, I can't enjoy the book.
