Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.

MY REVIEW:  

 

⭐  ⭐  ⭐  ⭐  ⭐ 

 

A riveting story built on a strong foundation of loyalty, duty, faith, family, and love . . .

 

I am a big fan of this author's previous two series, so I was looking forward to reading this novel which is the kick-off of her new 'Missing in Alaska' series. I have read dozens of Christian romantic suspense books in the past few years, and I found this story to be unique in several ways.

 

While the story contains a lot of action, the main focuses are on relationships and on solving an intricate set of mysteries which involve many of the main characters. A tight-knit team of professionals works together to get to the bottom of what is happening in the small town of Shadow Gap, Alaska.

The lead female character, Police Chief Autumn Long, is a skilled police officer whom I came to admire greatly as the story progressed. She has a sixth sense about her that makes her a tenacious investigator and a formidable opponent to anyone who crosses her in her professional and personal lives. She is driven to accomplish her goals no matter what obstacles she encounters.

The lead male character, Grier Brenner, is a mysterious newcomer to the town. He becomes somewhat of a local hero after he saves a drowning woman. He is secretive about his background, but he is loyal to his cause of helping others in need. He is a courageous, compassionate man. He is a protector at heart, and I feel that his presence and contributions to the story were my favorite part of the plot.

In addition to well-developed characters, readers are treated to the author's skill at building a believable and credible setting in rugged Alaska. Weather events and geographic locations play an important role in this plot, and I never knew what to expect next as I read the story!

Autumn's relationships with her brother and grandparents are close and affectionate. They support and encourage each other in times of need. They also work together to resolve problems. 

 

The faith thread was woven into the story from start to finish. The scriptures featured throughout the story were meaningful to the characters and to me as a reader.

 

The author's attention to detail and the emotion she wrote into her characters' words and deeds make this a satisfying read for fans of Christian/clean romance and Christian/clean romantic suspense. The book is completely clean in language and content.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through their Revell Reads Blogger Program. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.
