Here's my review of this thrilling read:
First of all, I would like to extend
a heartfelt “Thank you” to Patricia Bradley and her publisher for sending me a copy
of "Shadows of the Past" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this
generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a
reviewer copy available to me.
From the opening phrase, “Shadows of the Past” by Patricia
Bradley takes off at a run. College
professor and criminal profiler, Taylor Martin, is being stalked. Mystery author, Nick Sinclair, is looking for
his only surviving family, his missing brother who also happens to have taken a
couple of Dr. Martin’s classes.
This novel is a non-stop thrill ride that packs plenty of
suspenseful twists and the thrill of romance.
Thick characters and the rich backdrop of Mississippi add depth and
dimension to a meticulously crafted plot and a narrative that plays like a
great film in the mind’s eye. I was
excited to read that book 2 in the Logan Point series is due out in the fall of
2014. I have a new author to keep an eye
on and a terrific new novel for my keeper shelf!
