Cold Light of Day

By Elizabeth Goddard

Book Overview

"In this first installment of the Missing in Alaska series, Goddard weaves a gripping mystery set in southeast Alaska. Readers will be eager for the next in the series."--Publishers Weekly

Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.

"The first book in Goddard's Missing in Alaska series will keep readers glued to their seats as the tension escalates."--Booklist

Customer Reviews

I think this maybe her best book yet!

Cold Light of Day is the perfect suspense novel- a great wilderness setting, lots of intense action, missing persons, a small town with caring local folk, dashes of well-written romance, and a police chief who won't stop until she solves this mystifying case. This book is awesome and it's squeaky clean, so I'd recommend it to any age romance or suspense reader. Y'all seriously need to get this book! I received a complimentary paperback from the publisher through LibraryThing. I also received a e-book copy from the publisher through Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review although I was glad to, and the thoughts above are my own.

Alaskan Romance

Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard is the first book in her Missing in Alaska series. Police Chief Autumn Long is determined to keep her small Alaska town safe. When that safety is threatened, she has no alternative but to turn to Grier Brenner, a relative new-comer. Together they face opposition from all sides. The question is will they survive long enough to find the answers. This was a great beginning to a new series! The action was non-stop. The scenery descriptions were so descriptive that I could picture myself back in the region. I can’t wait for the next installment! I received this book from the author for my honest review.
