Welcome to Litsy!

I really liked Celine, though not as much as other Heller titles. I enjoyed the relationship between Celine and her husband, Pete 😊

I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone

Scott, this was such a great read - I bought it based on your rec and it didn‘t disappoint! Celine is absolutely my kind of character - I just adore her. I wish he‘d write another book about her search for her daughter ♥️ Peter Heller fans, which of his other books should I read? @vivastory

The ending was satisfying in a way that left me wanting more. I wasn‘t ready for it to be over. There is a conclusion to what happened to the missing person. I was also left with curiosity about what happened to the characters next. This ending left room for the reader to draw their own conclusions, which I kind of like. It‘s fun to dream about what I hope happens next.

Gabriela's beloved mother drowns while she is young. Years later her father, a famous photographer for National Geographic, disappears in Yellowstone & is quickly declared dead. Gabriela hires the dignified titular PI to find out the truth. I hesitate to call this a mystery, because it is atypical of mysteries. Focusing on the characters themselves, the impact that grief can have on a person's life, the state of the nation & the world & (CONT)

These arrived yesterday, @TheAromaofBooks. I spent the evening going through Celine and enjoying everyone's comments. 💛 What fun!

I had some trouble rating this book because the book itself can't quite seem to decide what it wants to be. It‘s also not exactly a novel, but somewhere in between. A novel with some thriller aspects. A slow-paced suspense with a lot of backstory. A spy story not about the spy at all. A missing person case with a long explanation as to why the detective takes on missing person cases. Something like that. The point is, I really enjoyed it. But⬇

This was definitely a case of the right book at the right time. With so much holiday craziness I only had time to read in little sips, which turned out to be the perfect way to read this story.
In 1898 Alex joins a field study in Yellowstone National Park and shocks the other scientists by being a woman 😱 The story touches on conservation, Native American displacement, feminism, and the nature of science.

Just finished up my December #LMPBC. My first Heller book, and I enjoyed it. Won‘t go into detail as I want to preserve surprises for my group. 😉

I‘ll be getting this out in the mail after Christmas.
