Elizabeth Goddard brings another page-turning romantic suspense with her latest novel Shadows at Dusk.
Book Blurb
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.
As the two close in on the answers they crave, they’ll face dangers and connections they could not have imagined. They’ll have to learn to trust one another– and face the dark secrets of the past–if they are ever to discover the truth and bring a killer to justice.
My Thoughts
Shadows at Dusk is one of those books you gobble up in one sitting, at least if you’re not constantly interrupted by life. I genuinely did not want to put this book down.
Goddard provides plenty of twists and turns as Carrie and Trevor seek answers. Those twists and turns then provide the perfect background for Carrie and Trevor’s reluctant relationship. These two hurting hearts have a lot of healing to do, but it was nice seeing them slowly begin to trust each other and work together. That made the romance even more satisfying and enjoyable.
There’s also a nice faith arc about trusting God and leaning on Him. I loved seeing the characters turning to Him for help.
Overall, Shadows at Dusk is a fast-paced suspense with a sweet romantic arc.
