Talking to Wendigo

by John C. Goodman

When a local guide goes missing in the woods north of Lake Superior, William Longstaffe, a retired English professor who retreated to the isolation of his cabin in the wilderness after the death of his wife, unwillingly becomes involved in the search for the missing man--and the eventual discovery of his body. The trail soon leads to more deaths and the haunting legend of a lost gold mine.

I decided to give up on this one after 152 pages. I was so disappointed that the plot and characters turned out to be so utterly boring; the blurb on the back makes the book sound fascinating and intriguing. The pacing was too slow and the "action" was hardly there. The characters were sort of unlikeable, from the main ones to the secondary ones. Overall very disappointing.
