Book Review - Cold Light Of Day

Elizabeth Goddard kicks off her latest series, Missing in Alaska, with double barrels of action and intrigue. Cold Light of Day finds Shadow Gap police chief Autumn Long fighting for her job and ultimately her life. As suspicious deaths start to add up in an area where death is usually clearly related to the harsh landscape, details about the mysterious-but-helpful newcomer in town begin to trickle to light. There’s no reason for Autumn to trust Grier, but intuition tells her he’s the only outsider she can trust. Even when her investigation leads directly to his doorstep, she knows there’s more to the story than he is telling her - a story which implicates, but ought to exonerate him. Losing her position as chief may be more blessing than the curse it seems, and when the truth about Grier brings Autumn face to face when the mother she thought had been long dead, reality becomes stranger than fiction. Goddard has laced her boots tight to forge a path of action adventure and romance worthy of lacing up your own to follow where she goes.

Book Review - Elysium Tide

James Hannibal has firmly established himself in my must-read list and Elysium Tide is the latest addition to the collection. Dr. Peter Chesterfield, senior attending neurosurgeon at Royal London Hospital, is plummeting toward burnout and a forced vacation is just what the chief medical officer ordered. Detective Lisa Kealoha has worked hard to overcome the circumstances of her youth and return home from L.A. to head up the gang task force for the Maui Criminal Investigative Division. Things are already getting hot on the island when the two collide after Peter tries to save the life of Lisa’s friend, and then continue to collide through the course of her investigation into Kelly’s murder and a host of other criminal activity surrounding it. Peter has his own investigation to conduct after he fails to save the woman he found floating in the surf outside his luxury hotel, and he will conduct that investigation with or without Lisa’s help. 

Sabotage and auto theft, murder and intrigue keep the plot flying like a modified Mustang over hidden smuggler’s tracks toward a satisfying conclusion. Written with great still to keep the reader engaged until the very end, Hannibal has delivered yet another gloriously successful action novel, further solidifying his must-read status.

Book Review - Point of Danger

I have a rule about suspenseful books.

It says that if you open your book with a statement like, "The package was ticking," you had better deliver. Thanks, Irene Hannon; you kept my heart pounding until the very last word of Point of Danger. There is no doubt the first novel of her Triple Threat series snatched my attention from the get-go and didn't let go.

Eve Reilly is a conservative talk radio host who holds nothing back for the sake of being politically correct, so it's no surprise that she has gotten used to hate mail. Neither is it surprising that she's not going to back down when things escalate to a point of action. Police detective Brent Lange is tasked with trying to determine the source of the particularly nefarious package as other suspicious incidents unfold around Eve. The deeper he digs, the more involved the plot seems... and the more involved his heart becomes.

Irene Hannon has woven an intricate web of social and political intrigue based on events we have seen unfolding as we watch the evening news, which made Point of Danger very relevant, very real, and very intense. I picked up this book, read her opening declaration, and promptly informed everyone in my house to go away until I had completely devoured it. (Thankfully, they love me enough, and know me well enough, to do just that!)

Point of Danger is currently available from your favorite bookseller. Here are some links, because I'm helpful like that.
