Eagle Mountain: Criminal History (Book 3)
Finding his twin could get him killed…
Fifteen years ago on a family camping trip, Vince
Shepherd's twin vanished without a trace. Her body was never found. The cold
case makes headlines again when local reporter Tammy Patterson interviews
Vince…and a series of taunting notes makes them suspect his twin might be
alive. Hope collides with passion as Vince and Tammy chase down leads while
trying to resist their attraction. Every step brings them closer to the
shocking truth…and someone who has waited a long time for vengeance.
Terrific story that kept me enthralled from start to
finish. The suspense was intense, and the frequent flashbacks gave insight into
the events that continue to affect the lives of those involved.
Vince is a relatively new member of the Search and Rescue
team. The story opens with him as part of a team investigating a sighting of
bones in the mountains. The site isn't far from where his family camped fifteen
years earlier when his twin sister disappeared. Vince is on edge, wondering if
the bones could belong to his sister, Valerie. He's still thinking about it
that evening when reporter Tammy Patterson approaches him.
Tammy is a reporter for the local paper. She wants to do
a series of articles about the SAR team celebrating its twenty-fifth
anniversary. She plans to start with the story of the search for Valerie, which
had a lasting impact on future searches.
I liked Tammy's sensitivity when interviewing Vince and
his parents. She looked for accurate information rather than something to
sensationalize the tragedy. She was easy for Vince to open up with. Having lost
a sibling, her empathy was a big part of their connection.
Tammy's article was well received and stirred up some
renewed interest in the case. But neither she nor Vince expected the odd things
that began to happen. From strange notes accusing them of lying about the
disappearance to vandalism and attacks claimed by a mysterious person who signs
their work with a V, both wonder if it is a scammer or Valerie. And if it is
Valerie, why are there negative actions? The attacks intensified until a
nail-biter of a final confrontation that left everyone shocked.
There were sparks of attraction between Tammy and Vince
from the moment they met, but their connection went beyond the physical.
Because both had tragedies in their pasts, they found it easy to talk to each
other. As they worked together to identify V, their feelings for each other
grew stronger. I loved Vince's protectiveness as the threats intensified and
Tammy's desire to be there for him during these weird occurrences. I loved the
emotional ending and commitment to get through life together.
