Description:
For historical anthropologist Cara Tucker, the chance to spend a sabbatical semester on a remote country estate--with full access to its vast library and centuries-old journals--is a dream come true . . . until a series of strange incidents begin to turn her dream into a nightmare. Someone, it seems, does not want anyone diving into the past and unearthing old ghosts.
Sheriff Brad Adams has seen his share of suspicious activities during his law enforcement career, but what's happening at the isolated estate is out-of-pattern in his quiet, rural Missouri county. Beset by danger, Cara and Brad work together to try to untangle the clues. But when the peril turns lethal, the situation takes on a new urgency, and their mission is clear: Find out who is behind the string of menacing incidents before the perpetrator strikes another deadly blow.
Review:
Cara Tucker is on a unique sabbatical from her professorship as she and her elderly friend, Natalie, work on translating a set of journals that are written in a dying language. There are several things happening in this story which creates a suspenseful story.
Readers will enjoy this romantic suspense that includes several points of view. Cara also has a cochlear implant that I thought lent interest to her character. I was happy to see her family in the story who were featured in the previous books in the series. This did not affect the story, but it was fun to see them taking care of their sis.
I didn’t know anything about this particular language nor about the old Mines settlers who spoke it. I found that very interesting and read more about them after reading the book.
I received a copy of the book from Revell as well as NetGalley. All opinions in this review are my own.
