I am so happy to be able to post my review for the book tour of Edge of Dusk by Colleen Cable. With thanks to Wendy of Partners In Crime Tours for my invite and copy of the book.
Even though secrets lie off the coast of Rock Harbor, the truth will set Annie Pederson free—if it doesn’t kill her first.
Nine-year-old Annie Pederson’s life changed the night her sister was kidnapped. The two had been outside playing on a dock, and Annie never forgave herself for her role in her sister’s disappearance. Twenty-four years later and now a law enforcement ranger, Annie is still searching for answers as she grieves a new loss: the death of her husband and parents in a boating accident.
But Annie and her eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, aren’t the only people in the town of Rock Harbor whose lives have been marred by tragedy. While managing the property around the Tremolo Resort and Marina she inherited, Annie discovers a dead body floating in the cold Superior surf and begins to work with the sheriff’s office to tie the death to a series of other mysterious reports in the area.
At the same time, her first love, Jon Dustan, returns after nine years away, reigniting the town’s memory of a cold case he’d been suspiciously linked to before he left to pursue his orthopedic residency. For the sake of her investigation and her heart, Annie tries to stay away. But avoiding Jon becomes impossible once Annie realizes she is being targeted by someone desperate to keep secrets from the past hidden.
In this new series, bestselling romantic-suspense author Colleen Coble returns to one of her most beloved towns, where familiar faces—and unsolved cases—await.
My first experience of Colleen Coble’s work, I had no idea what to expect. The first book in a new romantic suspense series featuring Annie Pederson. I was looking forward to sitting down and diving in.
We are introduced to Annie, her daughter Kylie and Annie’s first love, Jon Dustan. We learn that when Annie was nine, her five year old sister was kidnapped and the Annie has carried the guilt ever since.
Now thirty three, her parents and husband all dead from a boating accident 2 years previously, she is a law enforcement ranger and also runs the Tremolo Resort and Marina,along with raising her eight year old, Kylie. A dead body is found in lake Superior and Annie finds herself working with the Sheriff to try to solve the crime. To add to the mix her ex, Jon Dustan, returns after nine years. His return is looked at suspiciously by some. Is his return as innocent as it seems? Will Annie be able to keep her head in the game?
A romantic suspense thriller set in the USA, one that had a setting that I could imagine throughout. Colleen Coble’s characters are created to a depth that I could easily relate (or not), to them. Annie is a woman with so much tenacity, a character I could understand and commiserate with. The amount of loss she has had in her life, has affected her at a primal level and this has marked her.
Colleen Coble has written a twisty, multi-layered story with several plot threads that she interweaves together to create an engaging, atmospheric and intriguing read. Characters that you can get behind and a setting that takes you there. A great start to a new series that I am so happy I was introduced to.
