Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard.
About the Book
Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.
Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are–to disappear–when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he’s not sure even Autumn could save him.
As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

Danielle’s Review
I received a complimentary copy of this book.
I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with FTC guidelines.
Cold Light of Day is the first book in Elizabeth Goddard’s new series, Missing in Alaska.
I love Alaska stories and this one is set in a secluded little town in the panhandle. We met Autumn in the prequel novella Dawn’s Hidden Threat (from the collection Heroes in the Crossfire). In this book, she had a lot challenging her, from those who want to remove her as police chief to those who want her dead.
Then there’s Grier. I love how we slowly learn about his past, yet we trust him completely from the beginning. Like Autumn does. Because, of course he has to be a good guy. Right?
I enjoyed how the plot wove together in such a complex, twisting way. It would be a good book to re-read because I’m sure I missed something! And that makes the best type of suspense because the details all come together, but not until the end.
If you love romantic suspense, especially when it’s set in Alaska, then definitely grab a copy of Cold Light of Day. I can’t wait for Book Two!
