Delia Pitts recommends
Hurt Mountain (2024)
Angela Crook
"Hurt Mountain crackles with the excitement of meeting sympathetic characters thrust into soul-breaking situations. At considerable emotional and physical peril, Dr. Olivia Blake and her ex-husband, Brandon Hall, set aside the tragedy of their missing daughter to join forces to help a traumatized teenage girl. Breakneck plotting plus a diverse cast of characters to root for make Hurt Mountain a thriller with heart."
