The day Chief of Police Simon Wolfe anxiously awaited arrives when Evie Madison returns to Beauchamp Island after a six-year absence. Unfortunately, Evie wants little to do with him on a personal level. He suspects she's hiding something - a secret so horrible she cannot confide in him, her trusted friend.
When an island resident is heinously murdered Simon enlists Evie's help with the investigation.
What trace evidence is left behind is virtually useless until they have a suspect.
As Simon and Evie become closer and the investigation progresses, he uncovers evidence which leads him to believe Evie is the killer. Evidence has mislead him before. Is this the case this time?
This murder/mystery/romance novel started out a little slow, and honesty I didn't know what to expect. As the story continued, as happens with every mystery I read, I found myself trying to solve it before the murderer was revealed. This story provided a surprise ending, although the handling of that ending I thought could have been done a little better. I was pleasantly surprised with the book, though, but I would have preferred a little more drama in it, and not had it wrapped up in such a neat little package to take care of. A good read, though, all things considered.
Anyone that likes this type of suspense and different cultures. I rate this book just as I would rate any other book, if it keeps you interested in the story, then it's a good book.
There's a lot to like about this book with its interesting twists and turns. The characters are believable and the dialogue is realistic. Kept me guessing right to the end. A romantic suspense that I found hard to put down.
