Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 30, 2013
There are intertwined stories -- the hunt for a human killer and the hunt for a killer mountain lion, set in a prosperous mountain town in California.  The hunt for the human killer involved numerous viable suspects and keeps you in suspense until the end.  Which is the killer mountain lion is never in doubt, just where and how it will be caught.I pity and do not understand the people who gave up on the book early.In re suitability for younger readers: the method of the human death is gruesome. There is passing mention of prison homosexuality.  There is a bit of male-female romance where one can read behind the lines to imagine sexual activity.
