Cold Light of Day

by Elizabeth Goddard

February 20 - March 17, 2023 Virtual Book Tour

Synopsis:

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.

Praise for Cold Light of Day:

"Thrilling!"

DiAnn Mills, author of Concrete Evidence

"An exhilarating, page-turning race to the finish!"

Carrie Stuart Parks, bestselling author of Relative Silence

"Gripping and hard-hitting."

James R. Hannibal, award-winning author of Elysium Tide

"Elizabeth Goddard has created a novel that immerses the reader in small-town Alaska. From the first page, it's a race to stay alive and solve a number of ever-spiraling mysteries. I highly recommend this novel."

Cara Putman, award-winning author of Flight Risk and Lethal Intent

"A simmering romantic suspense with an explosive ending. Once more Goddard proves she is a master storyteller and deserving of her place as one of the best Christian romantic suspense authors of our time."

Mary Alford, author of Among the Innocent

I received an advance review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Elizabeth Goddard and Partners In Crime Tours. I'm excited to be a part of this tour.
This is my first book by this author and won’t be my last! Elizabeth Goddard’s new Missing in Alaska series is phenomenal! If this first book is a prelude to how unique this series is, I am hooked!
In the Cold Light of Day, the author does an excellent job of transporting the reader into the culture of small town Alaska. I’ve never been, and this book makes me want to visit even more. The descriptions are vivid, and I felt like I was there. The scenery is so well written, it literally becomes one of the characters.

The cast of characters is big and eclectic yet needed as they each play their own part in the story. Figuring out how they intersect with one another was a lot of fun. The authors ability to weave together such a desperate group of people cohesively is impressive. I enjoyed Grier and Autumn; each are likeable and full of empathy. Grier’s mysterious past added a level of depth and had me wanting to know more. Full of twists and turns you won’t see coming, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I highly recommend!
