Abandon

Fiction by Blake Crouch


Abandon is an Old West ghost town in Colorado with a mystery attached: Where did all the town's inhabitants go? The town was found empty just after Christmas 1893 and no one has ever figured out what happened to the people.

In 2009, reporter Abigail decides to take on the story by heading into the area with a pair of ghost hunters and a history professor who happens to be her estranged father. What they find is a real surprise.

The book jumps between the original story in 1893 and the mystery seekers in 2009 with a rapidity that keeps the reader on the edge of her seat, and the conclusion is amazing. I love that a fiction author can answer all of your questions in a way that real life never would.

I also read recently by this author: Run
