When Tom Harbour came to, he was lying face down in wet sand. And he was bleeding. Hazy memories became clear as the last twenty-four hours came flooding back to she was gone. They had killed her, and she was gone...and he would make them pay.
Yesterday, Tom and his wife Kate were just a regular couple looking for some much-needed down time. After deciding on a cottage country getaway, the two had settled in at the Wolf Paw Couples Resort in small-town Rouge Valley, a scenic but remote woodland locale. Their serene vacation would be short lived, though, as the couple make a grisly discovery in the woods nearby...sending them spiraling into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in which the stakes are survive, by any means necessary.
Across town, newly transferred deputy Marvin Blum begins to suspect that something isn't quite right with Rouge Valley...that this simple town may hold a dark secret, unraveling a deep rooted mystery with dire consequences.
An interesting debut crime/thriller novel. I enjoyed the little nuggets of names used for locations throughout the story that people from the GTA/Durham Region would recognize.
I wasn't sure where this story was going from the beginning, but it kept me interested and invested in Tom, Kate, and Bear's well-being.
I hope Evan has more stories to share with us readers!
