Blockbuster bestselling author Christina Dodd delivers a novel that will leave readers breathlessly turning the pages in this "truly stunning work of mystery, danger, and romance" ("RT Book Reviews").Twenty-three years ago, in the coastal town of Virtue Falls, Washington, four-year-old Elizabeth Banner witnessed her mother's brutal murder. Elizabeth's father was convicted of killing Misty and sentenced to prison, and Elizabeth was sent to live with relatives. Now she is back in Virtue Falls, a geologist like her father, her life guided by logic and facts. But nothing can help her through the chaos that follows the return of her ex-husband, Garik Jacobsen, an FBI agent on probation and tortured by the guilt of his past deeds. Nor can it help her deal with her father, now stricken with Alzheimer's and haunted by Misty's ghost..."Intense and suspenseful, with touches of romance, humor and mysticism."-"Kirkus Reviews"""When a massive earthquake reveals long-concealed secrets, Elizabeth soon discovers her father is innocent. Is the killer still at large, stalking ever closer to the one witness to Misty's murder? To Elizabeth herself? Elizabeth and Garik investigate, stirring old dark and deadly resentments that could provoke another bloody murder-Elizabeth's own."With this Nail-biting suspense...but the novel's sexy romantic core will still please [Dodd's] longtime fans."-"Booklist "(starred review)

The story starts with a major earthquake and tsunami. Elizabeth came back to her hometown to spend time with her father convicted of her mother‘s murder. Yet her ex begins to wonder if the father was a murderer or if she was the 1st victim of a serial killer. Interesting characters and a little romance are included.

The book started out a little hard to follow with all of the changes. But the book turned out good and had me changing my mind on “ who done it” looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

For me, this book was not as fantastic as Because I'm Watching (book #3 in the series; this was book #1). Too many POV changes in the first couple hundred pages, and from too many people, gave it a soap opera-like vibe and kept me from really engaging with the story.

But it was a good story. I enjoyed it. I'll give it four stars and will write my full review tomorrow (or sometime this coming week, more likely).

I meant to start this book today (I got it in today's mail), but it's now so close to midnight - tomorrow - that I think I'm going to go to bed instead. So, no books read today.

I have been reading... I'm just being bad with reviewing. So I haven't been around Litsy much lately. I'll try to do better...tomorrow.

#dogsoflitsy #ReadingWithDogs . . . eventually.

2nd used bookstore trip in two days. Decided I HAD to find some historical romances by Lisa Kleypas thanks to a recommendation from @EloisaJames :) Of course then I couldn't leave without bringing these home as well. Good thing I didn't resolve not to buy books in 2017! LOL!

EloisaJames I love Mine Til Midnight! Funnily enough, Lisa and I are long time friends--with Christina too! 7y
Samantha.1020 @Reviewsbylola I was so excited to find The Likeness! Now to find the time to read it :) 7y
Samantha.1020 @EloisaJames What a coincidence! I couldn't find the exact titles you mentioned by Kleypas so I grabbed these and will order the others off of Amazon instead. This is my first book by Dodd as well! 7y

Gave this romantic suspense novel 100 pages, but the narrative was just too fractured for me. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, so it's time to move on!

Great suspense and great romance. I was questioning who the killer was until the end.
