Cold Light of Day (Missing in Alaska #1) by Elizabeth Goddard, New Release & Review

Book Summary:

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 even 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 so 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.

As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

 My Review:

Masterful suspense and intricately woven webs, Goddard has written a nail-biter of a novel! Set in the tiny town of Shadow Gap, Alaska, I was instantly pulled right into the story. Goddard paints the scenery so beautifully I felt like I was watching every detail unfold.

Each character was memorable from the main ones to the side ones. Each character felt real. Chief Long (Autumn) with her spunk, drive, and determination. I loved her fortitude and her never give up attitude. Grier with his mysterious background and kind heart. The entire mystery surrounding Grier and then the sudden onset of violence in the small town of Shadow Gap kept me page turning until the very end. Goddard gently weaved faith into the story and it was the perfect balance of suspense, mystery, romance, and faith.

I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
