But Max is dealing with his own demons. Three years ago, his wife … wife disappeared and his daughter was murdered. The police presume she is dead, but Max knows better.

I love dogs, I love mystery, and I love suspense, so it’s no wonder that I loved reading HARVESTED: A MAX BOUCHER STORY by Troy Lambert.
No spoilers here. I’ll just say that I fell in love with the engaging characters, the storyline was captivating, and my heart raced with every turn of the page. When I reached the end, my only thought was, “Hurry up Lambert, and get the second book in the series written!”
Kind,Heart warming, not enough people helping to find this person who may have done this to their owners. A few women are more than happy, to help him out while he has offer to donate him time.

Harvested by Troy Lambert
Max Boucher #1
Max is a likable character that must be attractive the way the women seem to fall all over themselves when they see him. He is, of course, not interested because his wife disappeared but he feels she is still out there and he is still married. When the case of the missing dogs comes his way he thinks the payment offered is good enough to take it on and as he begins to investigate he finds the missing dog situations to have more to it than he first thought. The clues come in slowly but each one leads to his finally determining what might be behind the dogs disappearing. There are a few twists and turns and a red herring or two along with a tough situation Max finds himself in that is rather dicey. By the end of the book Max is beginning to heal and put his life into perspective but he still is unsure who was behind the loss of his daughter, wife and dog and my guess is that in book two he will continue to look for the evil behind what happened.
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
3-4 Stars
I found this to be a very interesting story and a topic that I have never seen discussed, this book is very well written and I find the characters are easily imaginable with twists and turns galore.
I really enjoyed the will they won’t they between Max and Helen and also the fight descriptions were spot on.
Well done on another great story Troy.
I received this audiobook for free from #storyoriginapp and wanted to give an honest review.
This is a wonderfully written story that captured my attention from the beginning right through to the end. There are many things I enjoyed about the book, the great storyline, the interesting mystery and the well crafted, engaging characters. I found the story flowed well and quickly. The narrative was excellent. The author crafted a story that triggered my imagination, allowing me to visualize the setting and characters, creating an unique experience for me. The mystery was complex, with subtle clues, numerous viable suspects, unexpected twist and turns, danger, action and suspense. The hero was charismatic yet humanize with his addiction and other foibles. I enjoyed his determination, perseverance, compassion and loyalty. I also liked how the author made the character develop as he went through the story. I enjoyed this story and would definitely read or listen to more of his work.
