Rated Heartwood 6/10

A quick and easy read I picked up for a local mystery book club. I would've liked more writing from the point of view of the woman who was lost in the woods and also feel it took too long to find out how she got lost considering at least some of the chapters were from her POV. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the reason albeit a very terrifying reason which writing that I realize I didn't truly feel??<br/><br/>I also did a lot of skimming of the chapters from the POV of the elderly woman who ultimately figured out what must've happened to the hiker and called it in. Less of her would've been the trade-off for chapters from the hiker. I suppose also less of the interviews/calls with her hiking buddy.<br/><br/>I feel like I'm trashing this book, but I think my dissatisfaction is mainly from too many POVs that also weren't of interest to me. YMMV. I still kept reading to the end and enjoyed the core of the story well enough.
