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 even 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 so 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.
As the stakes rise and the dangers increase,
Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

Thoughts:
Cold
Light of Day of Elizabeth Goddard is a romantic
suspense novel featuring characters in Alaska. I love the concept of Alaska
with the wilderness and no one around for miles. I would love to live there.
Anyways, Cold Light of Day features Autumn Long, the police chief, in this
small town. She has followed in her father's footsteps by becoming the police
chief. She fights the stereotypes and wants to make a name for herself. Along
the way, she meets obstacles that want to stop her from succeeding. With a dead
body showing up on the scene, she encounters Grier. A hero who is running from
his past. The characters move around in the nicely written scene. Goddard does
a wonderful job at telling her story. As for the plot, I wanted more dead
bodies or action. It was a pretty tame suspense novel. Many moments of why are
we still thinking about this. Why isn't there life in more danger? Similarly,
the romance was not top priority, which I highly thank Goddard for doing, but
then the hero and heroine fall in love, and I did not believe. Overall, Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard
has the potential to be a pretty awesome series, but as for the suspense
element, it was lightly covered. Not one of her greatest stories.
I received a complimentary copy of Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard
from Revell Publishing but the opinions stated are all my own.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
