At the behest of her ailing mother, former FBI special agent
turned rare-book collector Ivy Elliott arrives in Alaska to secure an
unpublished Jack London manuscript kept secreted away for decades. But when she
arrives, she learns the manuscript is gone--taken by the granddaughter of the
woman who possessed it. Ivy sets off in pursuit, not just to save the
manuscript but to save the vulnerable girl, who was previously trafficked and
has no idea what she's getting herself into.
Joining forces with Alaska State Trooper Nolan Long, Ivy must battle a
blizzard, sabotage, and the worst of an Alaskan winter as the search goes on.
But every answer they find only raises more questions--and the danger to their
lives and to the missing girl may only be the tip of the iceberg.
Don't miss this breathtaking race for truth set amid the glorious--and
deadly--Glacier Bay from USA Today bestselling
author Elizabeth Goddard.
My Thoughts:
Hidden in the Night
by Elizabeth Goddard is the third book in a series, which each book could be
read individually. As a romantic suspense novel, readers will expect romance
and suspense to progress as the story progresses. It does. The plot moves along
nicely with the hunt for a manuscript and what surrounds it and a missing girl.
Plenty of thrills and chills for the best suspense lover. As for the romance,
it was predictable and happened a little too fast for me. I noticed in most
novels where the romance starts in the beginning of the book or in a previous
book, it is still too soon for me. Just a personal preference. I would like to
see the relationship develop more before they end up in a marriage proposal at
the end of the novel. One of my favorite aspects of the novel was the setting.
I hope, someday, to be able to visit Alaska, so I love seeing in my imagination
and reading about characters as they maneuver through the wilderness of
Alaska’s back country. There are some moments of spiritual reflection, but
nothing that is really forced down the readers’ throat. Overall, Hidden in
the Night has the suspense element down, but the romance needs to be paired
back a little bit.
I received a complimentary copy of Hidden in
the Night by Elizabeth Goddard from Revell
Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
3.5 out of 5 stars
Purchase Hidden in the Night
