My Review
As the book begins we meet Erin Delaney as she arrives in Sanctuary Tennessee, at a cabin in the Smokey Mountains. She is awaiting the arrival of her friend and mentor Kaely Quinn-Hunter, and hoping for some relaxation and healing!
Erin is an ex-St Louis Policewomen and a best selling author, and Kaely she is a former FBI. Wow, very interesting women!
Peace of the area is soon shattered, even before Kaely arrives, Erin is asked to look at a body, and soon there is a serial killer in the area.
Your going to find your heart in your throat and I was holding my breath as the danger seemed to be coming to their door. Why? and Whom is the culprit? I thought I knew, but then maybe not. I did love the one fellow that comes to their door, and into their hearts.
There is another book coming in this series, and with the surprises offered at the end, I want some more answers, but this one sure kept me guessing, and often wrong!
I received this book through the author, and was not required to give a positive review.
