Publisher's summary

The first suspenseful thriller in the Midnight series from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

When two hikers disappear from their hometown in Maine, everyone blames the blinding storms. But the truth is far more sinister. Unaware of the danger, tabloid photographer Jayne Sullivan follows an anonymous tip to find the most reclusive sculptor in the art world. Instead, she finds mysterious handyman Reed Kimball - and a small town full of fatal secrets.

Five years ago, Reed buried his homicide detective career along with his wife. But when a hiker is found dead, the local police chief asks Reed for help. Why was a Celtic coin found under the body? And where is the second hiker? Desperate to avoid the media, Reed doesn’t need a murder, a missing person, or a nosey photographer. Until Jayne is attacked, and he realizes that her courage is his undoing. Reed must risk everything to protect her and find a cunning killer.

A fun who done it.

Well crafted and unpredictable but lacked detail and character development that immerses you in the people and setting. Main problem was narrator, who did a good job overall but did not have a talent for female voices, especially for lead female character, who was described as a tall beautiful "Celtic goddess" sort of woman. She is supposedly a woman of strength, intelligence, and experience, but the narrator's voice made her sound like an a fragile, innocent, helpless, little toddler. Very difficult to maintain a mental picture of the character described by the author when the narrator turned her into a third grader. There were very few female characters in this story and in fact the narrator's voice turned them all into little girls. I suspect his very masculine range simply cannot perform mature female voices. Instead, he compensates by making them sound super child-like. There is a part 2 to this story but doubt I'll listen to it. Maybe. I'm curious about some loose ends that part 2 might tie-up but not curious enough. I'll think about it.

Interesting start to a new mystery/romance

Maybe I've read too many Melinda Leigh books, but while I find this book and a good mystery/romance, sometimes it seemed a little predictable.

I still will try next book in series and look forward to it.

I acquired the book through Kindle Unlimited and primarily listened on Audible.

I enjoyed the change of characters

I enjoyed the change in scenario and subject matter in this book. I imagine it took alot of research for this series.

I have one dislike and the intimatcy scenes can be done differently. I have read in other books where intimatcy has become obvious and the author states at a certain point and they got to know one another. kind of classy. I fast forward in yours.

thank you for the books

Pretty good but like other books of Leigh more

I liked the story and the narrator did the best he could with all the characters. I really like Leigh’s other series, that this one was a bit of a disappointment. I’ll try the next book and see if I like it better.

Language

Would have given this 5 stars for the story but did not appreciate some of the language, not necessary.

Looking forward to the next book. Couldn't put the book down, definitely a cliffhanger for me.
