What
it’s About:
Even though secrets lie off the coast of Rock Harbor, the truth will set Annie
Pederson free—if it doesn’t kill her first. Return to the beloved town of Rock
Harbor in the first installment of a new series by bestselling suspense author
Colleen Coble.
Nine-year-old
Annie Pederson’s life changed the night her sister was kidnapped. The two had
been outside playing on a dock, and Annie never forgave herself for her role in
her sister’s disappearance. Twenty-four years later and now a law enforcement
ranger, Annie is still searching for answers as she grieves a new loss: the
death of her husband and parents in a boating accident.
But Annie
and her eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, aren’t the only people in the town of
Rock Harbor whose lives have been marred by tragedy. While managing the
property around the Tremolo Resort and Marina she inherited, Annie discovers a
dead body floating in the cold Superior surf and begins to work with the
sheriff’s office to tie the death to a series of other mysterious reports in
the area.
At the same
time, her first love, Jon Dustan, returns after nine years away, reigniting the
town’s memory of a cold case he’d been suspiciously linked to before he left to
pursue his orthopedic residency. For the sake of her investigation and her
heart, Annie tries to stay away. But avoiding Jon becomes impossible once Annie
realizes she is being targeted by someone desperate to keep secrets from the
past hidden.
In this new
series, bestselling romantic-suspense author Colleen Coble returns to one of
her most beloved towns, where familiar faces—and unsolved cases—await.
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed going back to Rock Harbor and thought the appearances of characters
from Coble’s other Rock Harbor books was a great addition to the story. Coble’s layering
of emotion, experience, and determination creates depth in the characters and
makes the story more intense. Lots of mystery and uncertainty make Edge of
Dusk a true page turner, and without giving anything away, the ending makes
me want the next book in the series now. The setting is beautiful, yet full of
mystery, like another character added to the story. If you enjoy romantic suspense,
you’ll want to read Colleen Coble’s Edge of Dusk. I’ve never read a
Coble book I didn’t like. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
