Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard Book Review

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 Thoughts:

 Another fast-paced adventure from author Elizabeth Goddard. This is book one in the series, “Missing in Alaska”. The series starts out intriguing and keeps you engrossed in the story. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough in this gripping tale.

 

In the small town of Shadow Gap, Alaska everyone knows everyone, and there aren’t many secrets that aren’t known. Police Chief Autumn Long, dad was the former police chief along with other members of her family being in law enforcement.

 

A new resident, Grier Brenner whom everyone likes but, they don’t really know anything about him. He’s handsome and he has his own secrets that he’d like to keep a secret. He is trying to stay low while his name is being cleared.

 

The main characters are well-developed and relatable. The locals you can’t help but not get invested in their characters. Then you have Alaska, with all the intrigue to it. The book makes you want to take a trip there. This book has a movie in the making that I’d like to watch!

 

Things start happening and a series of unexplained crimes and murders have been happening.  This peaceful town has had an onslaught of activity that brings Grier and Autumn together to find the one responsible for the murders, kidnapping, and other unexpected criminal activity. The book has several plot twists throughout and a few surprises.

 

I received this complimentary product through Revell in exchange for my honest thoughts.
