Shadows at Dusk + Giveaway

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 Review:

Whoa! What an adrenaline rush of a read! Oxygen tank and defibrillator might just be necessary standbys for sensitive readers! 🙂

First, love the Alaskan setting. There’s something so alluring about stories set in this state…at least for me. Have no idea why because I’m definitely not the rugged wilderness type. I’m much more of the curl up by the roaring fire reading about rugged wilderness types kinda gal. But there’s something modern day wild west-ish about this setting which makes it quite brilliant for suspense.

And too funny — I grabbed this book to help me ride out an epic snowstorm only to discover the story takes place in the spring/summer. Still lots of scope for fighting against the elements even if it’s rain and the wilderness is just as untamed so that kind of thrill carried all the way through.

Love that our heroine is a bush pilot and that our hero isn’t all that keen on flying. They have great chemistry that’s all tangled up in complicated back stories and current agendas. Goddard is a master at weaving all of that into the increasingly difficult situations Carrie and Trevor find themselves in.

And the suspense! A reader practically needs climbing gear to navigate all the treacherous fissures cracking through the plot! So many twists and turns and downright bottomless pits to tiptoe around. And the stakes just kept getting higher as the story progressed. Danger, corruption, deceit run rampant. Oh and that prologue!!! Jaw-dropping, gasp-out-loud, what-just-happened good.
