When evil just won't quit, good must prevail
Investigative Services Branch ranger Ainsley Beaumont wishes the visit to her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, was under better circumstances. When she arrived to investigate the murder of a pregnant teenager, she never imagined that she would become the killer's next target--or that she'd have to work alongside an old flame.
After he almost killed a child, former FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn't bring himself to fire a gun, which had deadly consequences for his best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc is working at Melrose Estate as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her.
The only question is, will it be too little, too late?
This suspense set in Mississippi really kept me guessing. There were twists and turns and danger. There was a great build up of suspense with a sweet family story as well as a second chance at love for Ainsley and Lincoln. I loved Rose and Cora and all the aspects of small town life. I would have never thought there could be so much intrigue in overlapping stories.
It was a tangled nest and Lincoln and Ainsley needed a lot of support to get through it. With Grandma Rose worrying about Ainsley and unresolved issues with her dad, she has a lot to deal with when she is called to come home to Natchez to solve a murder on Forest Service Land.
I was very pleased with the pacing of this story and the way things unfolded.
I received an early copy from the Publisher and NetGalley and this is my honest review.
