Shadows at Dusk ~ Review

Shadows at Dusk

Missing in Alaska #2

By Elizabeth Goddard

Shadows at Dusk is the second book in the Missing in Alaska series, and I just have to say danger seems intent on calling Alaska home. That's not to say it doesn't lurk elsewhere but goodness the dangerous doings are rather frightening, makes me think couch travel through videos is the way to go. Not really. the descriptive detail of the scenery actually makes me want to travel there despite the on-page that exists.

This time, we get to know Carrie James, thanks to Police Chief Autumn Long directing Detective Trevor West to her. Trevor calls Montana home, but a year his sister went missing there, and a newly discovered clue has drawn him to Alaska in search of answers. And Alaska, being Alaska, travel by water plane is the only way to get to some of the remote locations he needs to see.

This book is most definitely high on the Suspense factor, with a liberal pinch of romance blended in. But when danger and tragedy hit close to home, Carrie needs Trevor to help her bring a murderer to justice. Could they be searching for answers that will open a whole new pile of problems? Or will they be able to put the past and its dark secrets firmly where they belong,  in the past?

Once again, Elizabeth Goddard has created a world that intrigues and delights the senses. The characters have dimensional depth, which helps draw one more fully into the book. This is a page-turning, late-night read fest waiting to happen as soon as the book is opened. This is sure to be a book club win!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

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.
