Book description:
A missing person. A murder victim. And two hurting people seeking justice, connected in ways they could never imagine.
Montana Detective Trevor West is desperate to learn what happened to his sister, who went missing in Alaska over a year ago, leaving nothing but a few photographs as clues to her whereabouts. At the advice of Police Chief Autumn Long, Trevor enlists the help of an experienced bush pilot. If Carrie James can't help him find the places in the photographs, no one can.
But Carrie has her own agenda. Grieving the death of her closest friend and the only person she could trust, Carrie will help Trevor find his sister on one condition--that he help her track down her friend's killer.
My review:
I thought the first book in this series was good, but this second one is even better. Though Grier, the male lead in the first book is one of the best characters in a book I have read for a while.
Shadows At Dusk had likable characters also. Trevor and Carrie both had their painful stories and their reasons for chasing down the truth.
I found the plot to be somewhat of an intricate one, but yet it was easy to keep up with. The author did a great job on describing the areas and locations Trevor and Carrie went to as they flew all over Alaska looking for his sister and for a killer. Though I have no desire to go to Alaska, it was easy to picture the landscape and people through the author's vivid descriptions.
This might sound dumb: but the last book was set during the winter and had a lot of ice and snow, whereas this one was set in warmer weather, so I definitely enjoyed the landscape descriptions better.
And the suspense was non stop. With bad guys after both Carrie and Trevor, this was a page turner and nail biter.
Books like these are romantic suspense, so there was romance....but it flowed well, and I admit hoping they would move it along a little faster. :)
The book had a great climatic ending, with a few surprises and some tense moments. Especially for Trevor.
But all is well that ends well, and this book definitely ended well. Goddard outdid herself on this one, and it may be her best yet.
I was provided a copy of this book for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own.
