The Mountains Wild
Book Feature - The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor
HBL Note: I first heard about The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor when I interviewed Deborah Crombie and asked her about the last book she read. Deborah had such an early copy I couldn’t even find cover art for it at the time. So when Sarah reached out to me to remind me that the book was about to release (Finally! Right? Why does it take so long to publish a book?) I was eager to feature it on the blog. Scroll down to read all about Sarah Stewart Taylor’s latest novel, The Mountains Wild.
Book Feature - The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor
From the publisher:
In a series debut for fans of Tana French and Kate Atkinson, set in Dublin and New York, homicide detective Maggie D'arcy finally tackles the case that changed the course of her life.
Twenty-three years ago, Maggie D'arcy's family received a call from the Dublin police. Her cousin Erin has been missing for several days. Maggie herself spent weeks in Ireland, trying to track Erin's movements, working beside the police. But it was to no avail: no trace of her was ever found.
The experience inspired Maggie to become a cop. Now, back on Long Island, more than 20 years have passed. Maggie is a detective and a divorced mother of a teenager. When the Gardaí call to say that Erin's scarf has been found and another young woman has gone missing, Maggie returns to Ireland, awakening all the complicated feelings from the first trip. The despair and frustration of not knowing what happened to Erin. Her attraction to Erin's coworker, now a professor, who never fully explained their relationship. And her determination to solve the case, once and for all.
A lyrical, deeply drawn portrait of a woman - and a country - over two decades - The Mountains Wild introduces a compelling new mystery series from a mesmerizing author.
