A Thrilling Roller Coaster Ride
Ten years ago friends and roommates, Eli, Nathan, Tenile, Landy, Nicole, and Kareem called themselves 'The Mod Squad.' They thought they had the world by the horns and felt they were invincible. That is, until one fatal night changed their lives forever. Landy, destined to become a lawyer, has her life snuffed out brutally. The last person known to have seen her alive was Nathan and, of course, the finger of suspicion pointed to him. In the small town of Tanner, a little gossip and a little suspicion was all that was needed to turn his girlfriend, Tenile, against him and put him on the run, so to speak. With no real hard evidence against him and his feelings for Tenile apparently a dream gone badly, Nathan leaves Tanner for New York where he would complete his education to become a doctor. ~~~~~~~Courted briefly by Eli to take over as Head of Obstetrics in the local hospital, Nathan seizes the opportunity to return to Tanner after ten years to not only clear his name and find Landy's killer, but to reclaim his lost love. His tasks seem impossible, as the town gossip still believes he is guilty and it appears Tenile has moved on with her life. But surprisingly, someone is really interested in the truth coming out. And Tenile eventually begins to warm up to him again. Yet, on the other hand, someone else is desperate that neither he nor Tenile discover the truth. As the two of them begin to investigate what happened to Landy years ago, someone is lurking in the shadows causing havoc with their progress. ~~~~~~~~'In Within The Shadows', author A.C. Arthur does it again, she manges to pull you into yet another thrilling ride of murder, mystery, suspense and love, like only she can. While she holds you captive with a riveting murder mystery, she also keeps you enthralled with the steamy, heated romance between Nathan and Tenile. Her style of writing always seems to flow flawlessly and keeps you turning the pages and wondering what's going to happen next. Her characters are well developed and so appealing, you even find yourself bonding with the secondary characters, because their storyline only aids in adding more intrigue to the main characters. Every time I thought I knew whodunit, she would come at you from another angle and SURPRISE, more mystery and suspense. Just a thrilling ride from beginning to end. You will not be disappointed!
