Shadowed Witness

Book Description:

Murder--that's what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs of her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her.

Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye's report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.

Angela Carlisle once again presents cutting-edge romantic suspense laced with danger, deception, and justice.

My Review: 

Suffering from a mysterious illness that sometimes makes Allye fuzzy headed, she is not quite sure if she really witnessed a murder or if she was hallucinating. But, the bruises she sustained are real. How can she get anyone to believe her and check further into her claims? 

Detective Eric Thornton at first doesn’t believe Allye but the more frightening things happen to her, the more Eric believes she is being targeted. I liked that Eric and Allie had a past and the relationship between them was a natural progression to go from friends to more. Eric has a big heart and hates to see anyone endure what he went through as a child. I was happy to see him take Lucky and Dion into his home, and I love that he was willing to take a chance on making their lives better. 

Suspenseful with a plot twist at the end, readers of romantic suspense are sure to enjoy this second book in the Secrets of Kincaid series. I highly recommend reading this. Even though it is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. 

I received this complimentary copy of the book. Opinions expressed in this  review are my own.
