I’ve always been a huge fan of Elizabeth Goddard’s writing, but with
Cold Light of Day, well, she knocked
this book out of the ballpark. I honestly couldn’t put it down!
The story opens with a cliffhanger, as Goddard takes her
readers to the small Alaskan town of Shadow Gap where Police Chief Autumn Long
is on a race to figure out who is behind the mounting deaths taking place in
her town, as well as figure out what Grier Brenner, the newcomer to Shadow Gap, is
hiding. Grier seems to possess skills that go way beyond what is necessary for
a diver. Autumn has no doubt Grier has secrets, but she needs his help to
figure out who is coming after her. As the threats against her continue to mount,
and the body count rises, Autumn is drawn to the mysterious Grier. But will the
secrets he is keeping destroy her life as well as her heart?
COLD LIGHT OF DAY had me hooked from page one. Goddard’s
fast-paced writing style kept me turning pages. This is a simmering romantic
suspense with an explosive ending. Once more Elizabeth Goddard proves she is a
master storyteller and deserving of her place as one of the best Christian
romantic suspense authors of our time. COLD LIGHT OF DAY is Book One of her
Missing in Alaska series, and one you will not want to miss.
Here is the book’s back cover blurb:
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.
