THE WILD INSIDE has all the elements required for a winner.That's why I kept reading in spite of my disinterest. I thought it must be my fault, not the author's.

This is a novel of suspense.Ted Systead, an agent for the Department of the Interior, investigates a murder in Glacier National Park, and the reader accompanies him throughout.He is haunted by a bad memory that happened to him when he lived around there when he was a teenager.

But the story never grabbed me, made me anxious to read further.I did only because the story seems to actually be a buildup to a story that will finally grab me. But it didn't happen for me as much as I would have liked.
