I read this as a recommendation from a fellow bookstagrammer. It is the fifth in the Detective Madison Harper series; the first one I have read. Although there is a lot of tragedies the histories of the main characters, I think this does work well as a stand alone, although I was left with some unanswered questions about their background.
The snow is falling, Christmas is neigh, and a woman is found bludgeoned to death in her car in her parking lot; her young son in the backseat is untouched. After a second similar murder, Lost Creek, Colorado wonders if there is a serial killer afoot. Madison Harper, a detective who had spent years wrongly incarcerated is on the case, along with her new partner, who seems more a hindrance than a help Her father, a former fed who chased serial killers in Alaska, has recently reentered her life, as has her son. Supporting her is good friend and private investigator, Nate, someone also who was also wrongly imprisoned for a period of time.
This is a suspenseful, engrossing read. I stayed up late into the night to finish it. The main characters are damaged individuals striving to do their best. Some of aspects of the story strain credulity, but that didn’t take away from it. This is not a cozy mystery; there are some gruesome murders here.
I enjoyed this book. I don’t think I will go back and read the prior ones, but do look forward to the next one in the series.
Thanks to @netgalley and @bookouture for the ARC… (altro)

Shadow Falls is the first book in the Detective Madison Harper Series. Madison is an ex-cop that has been wrongfully accused of murder. She wants to clear her name, so she enlists the help of P.I. Nate Monroe. He reluctantly agrees to help, but only after they solve a case he's been recently been hired for, a girl has disappeared at camp. The girl's parents aren't being honest and no one at the camp seems to want Nate and Madison there. How will they find Jenny Lucas and will they find her alive?
I really enjoyed this book. It had some plot twists I wasn't expecting. It kept the pace pretty well. You definitely want to read the second book after finishing the first. Would recommend. Thanks NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC.… (altro)

Nice, quick read. Check the content before you dive in as some of it is confronting and difficult as expected.
