Amazing Adventure! 'Cold Light of Day' - Missing in Alaska 1 - by Elizabeth Goddard

 


About the book:

Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.

My review:

What an amazing adventure!  Not only is the setting wonderful but there's nonstop action and a long-buried secret.  I felt bad for Autumn because not only did she have challenging cases to solve but she was being undermined at every turn by a man who hadn't wanted her to get the chief job.  She also had an alcoholic father to take care of, all while falling for a man she wasn't sure she could trust.  We kept getting teased about how Grier had a secret and that he wanted to stay hidden but we don't know why.  They also both have a faith in God but obviously being tested every step of the way!  There was also sweet romance as they both feel a pull toward each other but resist.  I highly recommend this suspenseful story and can't wait for the next!

I received a free copy of this book from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
