VANISHED IN THE MOUNTAINS
A search for missing women leads to a deadly pursuit.
When domestic violence counselor Dulcie Parker uncovers evidence of a human trafficking ring in the Four Corners area, she's determined to stop it or die trying. With corruption all around her and killers on her trail, Deputy Sheriff Austin Turner's the one person she can trust. But can they work together to expose the crime ring before she becomes the next victim?
My Review:
I don't what has me more rattled -- the rabid-over-the-shoulder-checking nail-biter of a plot or the fact that this is my first Tanya Stowe novel. Seriously, how did I miss her previous books? You can be sure I'll be back-tracking!
This is one intense suspense with a few interesting twists that bring a fresh perspective to this LIS. Like the Navajo nation setting. While neither of the main characters are Native American, Stowe has woven in details of the culture, history and geography which I found fascinating.
And I love that Dulcie isn't your typical kick-butting heroine (though I do love those ladies as well!) but I could relate to Dulcie's more timid nature and found her all the braver for battling past her fears in order to find the missing women. She might freeze up in terror on occasion but she is relentless in her pursuit of justice.
And then there's Austin. Disgruntled, overworked and not sure what to make of Dulcie's wild claims. You'll want to seat belt yourself in for this read 'cause there's tons of twists and turns and breath snatching moments. Along with some emotionally romantical ones as Austin and Dulcie learn to open up and trust each other.
A page-turner from start to finish!

DeleteThank you for you enticing review of "VANISHED IN THE MOUNTAINS" which most definitely had me placing this book on my ever growing TBR list. I like a good long list cause it lets me know I'll never run out of reading material cause since I keep adding to it I'll never live that long. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful LIS and the native America makes it unique and interesting. The great cover makes me think so place that I would enjoy staying at during a winter's snow - peace with nature and critters. And then you see the handcuffs and the mind goes off in the suspense angle and wants to know how they come into play in the story.
Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy!
