Shadowed Witness + Giveaway

Murder–that’s what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs of her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her. 

Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye’s report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again. 

Angela Carlisle once again presents cutting-edge romantic suspense laced with danger, deception, and justice.

My Review:

Angela Carlisle is back with another riveting romantic suspense and I am making it official – she is now a read to zero author and, since she only has two books out so far I am totally caught up. 🙂 Planning to stay that way too because this author can write!

Attention grabbing opening scene put me on edge and the situations Allye finds herself in…hello, stalker vibes! She’s all muddled up – what’s real, what isn’t and how can she get anyone to believe her?

Seriously sinister low-life bad guys, a police detective who wants to believe her but is short on evidence. So many twists and turns along with a few creepy, heart-in-throat hair-raising scenes. Phew, this one kept me on edge right to the very end.

Carlisle is really good at slowly building tension as she weaves seemingly unrelated plot threads into a cohesive whole. I figured some things out, but not enough to keep me from being blindsided a time or two!

And adrenaline rush of a read with just enough romance to make things interesting…and complicated!

  3. She was sitting behind me at the Columbus book festival and I had not seen a picture of her, and didn’t realize it until later! I was so sad at the missed opportunity of meeting her. I would love the opportunity, thanks Kav 🙂 cilydav at hotmail dot com
