Ridley Sawyer’s twin sister was abducted when they were in college. Years later, Ridley funnels her guilt and sorrow into her true crime podcast, where she travels the country tackling cold cases – and she’s really good at it. She’s now on her most ambitious and life-changing case yet. But when she arrives in a small town that has been rocked by an attempted abduction, Sheriff Colter Brooks isn’t interested in Ridley spotlighting their trauma. But Ridley isn’t one to take no for an answer, and Colt soon finds her ingratiating her way into the community. But the deeper she gets into researching what happened, the more questions arise. Soon, Colt finds himself drawn back into the case, which is also very personal to him, and as they get closer to the truth, the danger only gets greater – and so do the feelings between these two people who thought their lives would be defined by tragedy rather than love.
I absolutely love going into new books by new-to-me authors with zero expectations and finding a wildly entertaining read! Romantic suspense is becoming my favorite niche genre, and this one delivered on the premise very well! Ridley was a fantastic character and how she and Colt played off of each other was excellent. I would have loved a little more post-villain-reveal explanation of things to tie up loose ends, but other than that; this was such a fun one and an author that will definitely be on my radar for the future.
