Cache a Predator: A Geocaching Mystery by Michelle Weidenbenner #BookTour, #BookReview, & Giveaway

Cache a Predator is a geocaching thriller about a father’s love, justice, and the unhinged game of hide-the-cache.

Officer Brett Reed will do anything to gain custody of his five-year-old daughter, Quinn. But when a judge grants Brett’s drug-addicted ex-wife custody and slaps him with a protective order for losing his temper, he fears for Quinn’s safety. Who will protect her now?

When Quinn is found abandoned on the streets, she’s placed in a temporary foster home until Child Protective Services can complete an assessment. It should only take a few days.

But a lot can happen in a few days.

Especially when there’s a deranged psychopath on the loose, someone who’s attacking pedophiles, someone who wants to protect children like Quinn, and someone who’s planting body parts in geocaching sites.

This book is hidden in cache sites all over the US and Canada with the goal for it to travel to all 50 states. It’s mission is to spread awareness of child abuse and how it harms victims, families, and communities.

“The author has developed her innate talent to frame events with a clarity and color that keeps the reader anxious to turn the page to get to the next level of interest.”

“”This book is like watching Criminal Minds or Law and Order.”

Midwest Review said, “Any who look for deep psychological elements in their mysteries will find this a satisfying read, moving beyond the usual one-dimensional focus on mystery to reach out and tweak the reader’s heart.” – D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer

What caught my eye first about this novel was the title. Our family are slightly obsessed with Geocaching, the kids adore it. What I wasn’t expecting was the obsession the novel became to finish it.

The story has a little bit of everything, a divorced couple that doesn’t think the other can properly care for their child, a murderer that disassembles bodies and hides them in geocaching locations. Which honestly, gives me reason to pause the next time we all head out on our adventures in caching. What is even stranger is that I am not all that against some of the victims that the murder chooses. A novel that causes me to think who really am I routing for is a rare experience for me. Once the media catches whiff of this unusual murderous spree- it takes on a whole new level of understanding human behavior. Would you be one of those people that could not be curious enough to go geocaching just to see what you find? I know we all initially say “Yes, I could or would never knowingly search that out!”, but deep down we are a curious breed.

Cache A Predator is one of my favorite reads this year, which I plan on reading again. While it may be disturbing in nature at time, it is still an amazing well written book. Keep in mind that the book is written to bring awareness to child abuse and truly is supporting the spread of exposing the very tough heartbreaking topic.

For the sake of sharing: Here are a few photos of the kids Geocaching- even one of my son Dylan, a month before he passed. He was helping teach his 3 year old brother how it is done.
