The overall idea sounded intriguing, so I was still eager to give it a try. And I did in fact go into this novel with no bias, lowered expectations, or belief that I would end up disliking it. At this point, I had already agreed to read and review it, so I decided to give it a fair chance. I believed it to be a mystery/thriller novel, however I did not realize that the author is known primarily for writing romantic suspense novels until I looked it up on Goodreads. Thankfully, this is a short novel, so I did manage to make it to the end, but there was really no payoff for my efforts once I got there.įirst of all, I will admit that I had the wrong impression of this novel from the very start. There was no aspect of this novel that was particularly memorable or that made me feel motivated to continue reading. The synopsis sounded fantastic when I first found this novel-and it was an extremely quick read-but the plot was rather poorly executed. You could potentially say that it left a “bitter” taste in my mouth. Carmichael’s work, and sadly, I really did not enjoy Bitter Roots at all. *I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review* When his old school friend Tiff Masterson, whose family owns a local Christmas tree farm, moves back to town, the two of them join forces to get to the truth about the murder.īitter Roots is the first of four Bitter Root Mysteries. On the surface Lost Trail is a picture-perfect western town, offering a simple way of life revolving around the local ranches and ski hill, but Zak knows the truth behind the façade. Synopsis: Dispatcher Zak Waller prefers working behind the scenes in the Sheriff’s Office of Lost Trail, Montana, but when a newcomer to the sparely populated town is brutally murdered-and the Sheriff is quick to pin the death on an unknown outsider-Zak starts his own private sleuthing.
