The mysterious death of a local teen leads to a hunt for
a killer in the sixth Widow’s Island novella by #1 Wall Street Journal
bestselling author Melinda Leigh.
On Widow’s Island, the secrets are dark…and everybody has one. So when Deputy
Tessa Black responds to a call about an explosion in a quiet neighborhood, she
gets more than she bargained for: the body of a teen who went missing weeks
ago.
Until recently, Gavin was living in a reputable foster home. But now that he is
found dead—Tessa can’t help but wonder if sinister forces are at play. Who
would want to hurt him, and why?
With the help of her partner, Park Ranger Logan Wilde, Tessa tries desperately
to decipher what happened to Gavin before another life is cut short. Someone on
Widow’s Island knows the explosive truth. Will Tessa find the answers she needs
before someone else turns up dead?
Sophia Rose's audio review:
Just another day at the office? Not on the atmospheric Widow's Island. A series of well-developed, novella-length,
thrilling romantic suspenses. Set in a
remote location where natural beauty, folklore, and quirky locals are the
backdrop, these tales deliver on riveting plot, complex characters, and
engaging relationships. Authors and
narrator always bring the listener along for a fabulous story every time.
A Broken Bone is the sixth of the Widow's Island series and
there is a build on what came before so in order works best.
The latest has Tessa and Logan responding to a call about a
bomb going off in an abandoned house.
The situation turns into a murder investigation when a decomposing body
is found at the scene along with evidence that someone was squatting. I loved following the deputy and her forest
ranger boyfriend along as they follow the evidence into a surprising
situation. They are a great team on and
off the job.
Tessa is stretched to the limit taking care of a mom with
Alzheimer's a teenage sister, and a full-time job, but she is learning to lean
on her friends and neighbors to let them help including Logan. She must also face up to the inevitable about
her mom's growing needs. Logan is still
working with his PTSD issues, but the therapy and his move home and
relationship with Tessa is helping. He's
ready to take on more and that includes dangerous work at Tessa's side and
being in her life permanently.
The victim is a foster kid and my heart both broke and
warmed for how the foster system was part of the story. There was one point where I felt such a lump
of sorrow and disappointment. But,
happily, a huge twist, that restored a little.
The mystery was a good one.
Christine Williams told it well and infused so much energy
and emotion as is usual that I was utterly captivated by her narration work.
In summary, another visit to Widow's Island made me feel
part of a wonderful group in a gorgeous setting while a murder was solved
satisfactorily. Those who want
quick-listen fully developed romantic suspense should grab these up.
My thanks to Brilliance Audio for the opportunity to listen
to this book in exchange for an honest review.
