From the brief description of the first case to the more detailed description of the second case many years later, Detective Storm definitely has her work cut out for her.
Is her colleague's anti depression medication a side screen? Why the long gap between victims? Had the perpetrator been in jail?
All of these thoughts were flashing through my mind the closer I got to the end of the book.
Detective Storm also has to balance her memory of her friend being the first victim and being able to conduct the case in a calm, clear and professional manner.
The sub characters were also spot on. You can almost feel the atmosphere in an out of the way police station that now has a serial kidnapper and possible murderer on their hands.
I loved every second of the story and had I been given it an honest personal review of 5*.
I am so much looking forward to reading the next episode.

Young girl's abduction matches a similar event seven years earlier - 3.5 stars
Harper is now a police person in the town she grew up in. Seven years ago, her best friend was abducted; now there seems to be an identical incident.
The mystery/thriller plays out in the early morning hours in the police building and the crime site, less than a day after the second child snatching.
Harper is good at coaxing the girl's younger brother to explain what had happened. You will remember this extremely short mystery/thriller story.

Hidden Memories (Shadow Man Book 1), my first read from author B.P Stevens, was a 60-page-read that grabbed me and kept me reading until I finished it in less than an hour. “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author and in particular Chasing Memories (Shadow Man Book 2), the next book in this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

3 1/2 STARS
Interesting first in a murder mystery/thriller series. A cold case may become hot again as a crime is committed that echoes another that occurred years before. Harper is an interesting protagonist who keeps her past involvement close to her chest. The novella has alot of information and creepy elements in its pages and the unexpected ending has you needing to follow ... NOW.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my honest and unbiased opinion of the tale.

This is the first book in this series of six episodes. Ends in cliffhanger. Two girls kidnapped many year a apart. Harper witnessed the first one at age 13. Now she is a police detective and is determined to find the kidnapper. She dubbed him The Shadow Man.
It's realistic. It's heartwrenching. It's creepy. It's dangerous. It's a page turner. I need book 2.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Seven years ago, 13-year-old best friends Harper and Beth walk into the woods. Beth doesn't make it out. Because of this trauma, Harper becomes a police officer at 19 and at 20 becomes a detective after closing several cases. Now another 13-year-old girl has gone missing and the only witness is her young brother. Harper is bound and determined to catch the Shadow Man this time. This quick read is nerve-wracking, ending with a cliffhanger. Very highly recommended.

I really liked this book. All the characters were well defined! I loved Harpers determination and the fact she would do whatever it took to solve the mystery! The plot was well timed and original! I’m glad I have the whole series to read at once because I didn’t like the cliffhanger. I was glad i didn’t have to wait to read the second book in the series!

An excellent start to a series with lots of tension, some unusual twists and compelling characters.
Police procedural but with a difference, an easy read in a single session.
I will be looking out for the next one.

Great Book
I it was a really good book. I’ve already ordered the next two. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the length of the book. It was just too short. I think the first and second book could’ve been combined to make a decent size novel.

Good start, intriguing plot.
Whenever I start a new series, I hope the sequels will hold up the storyline. This appears to be a great beginning with interesting characters and the ever popular cliffhanger. Well done.

Definite must read
This story has it all. The story line has twists and turns and leaves you wanting more. The cliff hanger ending guarantees to keep you coming back for more.

Mystery
Story ran as a Mystery-cop vibe. It left a lot of room for more to come with just enough curiosity.

Too short
I found this to be an interesting read but it was too short. What is going to happen next? I am curious where this is going.
