Review – Shadows of the Past

April 15, 2014 By The Suspense Zone

About the book –

Psychology professor and criminal profiler Taylor Martin prides herself on being able to solve any crime, except the one she wants most desperately to solve–the disappearance of her father twenty years ago. When she finally has a lead on his whereabouts, Taylor returns home to Logan Point, Mississippi, to investigate. But as she is stalking the truth about the past, someone is stalking her.

Nick Sinclair pens mystery novels for a living, but the biggest mystery to him is how he can ever get over the death of his wife–a tragedy he believes he could have prevented. With his estranged brother the only family he has left, Nick sets out to find him. But when he crosses paths with Taylor, all he seems to find is trouble.

Join the chase as this determined duo search the murky shadows of the past for the keys to unlocking the present and moving into a future filled with new hope and love. Readers will be swept into the sultry South in this debut novel from a promising and already award-winning writer.

My Review –

WOW! I love mystery and suspense and this book was all that and more!  I had to double check, but for a debut novel this one is a HOMERUN!! I can’t wait for book 2 in this series. As always I like to try to figure out who the bad guy is, and I had him pegged, but I was SHOCKED by the reasons.

OHH my.

You will not want to put this book down.  

There were a few slow points but nothing to take away from the story.  

Great book! Great debut! 5 stars from this reviewer.
