Charles Frazier has done it again! This is another stunning novel sure to delight fans of his previous work.

Just as the main character artist gets to know his host family, the wife disappears. The characters are multi-layered and super interesting, and Frazier does such a fabulous job of setting each scene in an evocative way so that the reader feels immersed in the story.

The narrative has a lovely cinematic feel to it - I could definitely see this one as a movie.

The plot moves along at a nice clip with the reader always wanting to keep turning the pages.

I especially admire the way this story lingers in the mind even after the reading experience is over.

Charles Frazier writes an intriguing story set in the Great Depression in "The Trackers". A young artist finds himself just out of school and jobless when he signs up for the government jobs program that is paying artists to do murals on post office walls. A rich man in the town where he is assigned offers him a nice cabin on his ranch and all seems well. The rancher has an attractive wife and there is one ranch hand that is also interesting. He has a history of fights and seems to be one of the rancher's favorites. Meanwhile, the young artist gets to know his host and hostess, and all of a sudden she disappears. The wealthy rancher hires our artist to find his wife and bring her back if possible and the real story of "The Trackers" begins. Interesting characters fill the book, the ex-husband of the missing wife and all kinds of stuff to sort out make this a book I couldn't put down. Thanks to #TheTrackers#NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this excellent book.

this was a great book set in the Great Depression, I never felt like it was done in a fake way and that the characters in the novel felt like people of the time. I enjoyed the way the plot was written and throughly enjoyed the journey of this book. I can't wait to read another book by Charles Frazier.
