Shattered

Body Hunters #3

by Kathleen Long

When hotel manager Eileen Caldwell leaves Isle de Cielo to return to the life she left behind, she never imagined she'd walk into her past. Literally. After working to escape the mystery of her older brother's disappearance and suicide, she now finds herself searching again, this time for her younger brother, vanished in exactly the same way. Has history repeated itself? Or is there time to save this life, avoiding the outcome that's haunted her dreams-and nightmares-for the past five years? Kyle Landenburg has tried to forget the hotel manager who turned his head during the Body Hunters' Cielo investigation. Blaming himself for the death of the only woman he ever loved, he's vowed never to let his emotions again be vulnerable, yet he hasn't been able to shake the impact Eileen Caldwell blazed across his memory and his heart. When the Body Hunters take on the case of her missing brother, he'll use his intuition and skills to do whatever it takes to bring the man home alive. But when the past turns out to be far more complicated than anyone ever imagined and the present becomes a maze of dead-end clues and life-threatening twists, he'll be fighting more than the romantic tension building between him and Eileen. He'll be fighting an invisible foe determined that this time Eileen's family will be shattered...forever.

From kidnapping to sex scandals and murders, Eileen Caldwell uncovers horrific facts about her family and their pasts, when she starts to investigate the mysterious disapperances of both her brothers. One brother disappeared 5 years ago and her second brother disappears a few days ago in the same location as the first. Both were set up to look like a suicide and all the same clues were there. Were both her brothers dead? Was it suicide or something more?... and was her parents deaths connected to the disappearances of her brothers. The Body Hunters help her uncover all the scandals, truths, lies, and murders, both of the present and past.Through all the turmoil, love also finds it's way to her. This book was ok but I think a little more action would have helped it flow just a little better.

The perfect palette cleanser while taking a break from an enormous draining read (A Little Life). Romance Suspense has just enough thrill, relationship tension, soft plot to keep me interested and ready for more reading. This was a great library sale find. I will read the other books in the series.
