Book Review of Tensleep (Em Hansen, Bk 1)

Tensleep (Em Hansen, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 1


As one of only two women connected with an oil-drilling rig, "mudlogger" Emily ("Em") Hansen endures sexual innuendo, a drunken trailer-mate, and long hours.But then two suspicious deaths within a week make her even more leery of her surroundings.The first death claims Em's mentor Bill, a careful man whose car skids out of control; next to go is young Willie, apparently crushed to death by wild horses.Afraid at first to articulate her misgivings, Em limits her actions to visiting the "crime" scenes, then taking notes, and finally sharing her concerns with a trusted co-worker.
