Light in Shadow description Hiding behind an expensive, black-market-created identity, Zoe Luce has built a successful interior design business in Whispering Springs, Arizona, and hopes that she has just as successfully buried her past. She can't ignore her unique psychic abilities, however, and when she walks into a new client's bedroom and hears the walls scream and moan, she knows something terrible has happened in the house. Did her client murder his wife? She's determined to find out, but investigating a possible murder is beyond her expertise, so Zoe turns to Ethan Truax, a private detective new to the small Arizona community. Solving the murder of the businessman's wife is a piece of cake for Ethan compared to the complicated enigma that he finds in Zoe. Mysterious nightmares haunt her and when a would-be blackmailer is found dead, Zoe's past inexorably collides with her new life, threatening their dreams of a future together. Author Jayne Ann Krentz is at the top of her form in Light in Shadow, a nonstop roller coaster ride of thrills and chills. Romance, suspense, humor, and danger challenge an intriguing cast of characters and blend seamlessly in a plot that twists, turns, and surprises. --Lois Faye Dyer |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Suspense and mystery makes for a great read |
| Cool and poised, Zoe Luce is the epitome of a successful businesswoman. With her eye for detail, she has made a living as an interior decorator. But beneath the exterior lies another "talent" that once saw her locked up in a loony bin--Zoe has psychic ability that enables her to hear the anguish of anyone who has once inhabited a room. And it is this talent that forces her to enlist the help of a private investigator--the man whom she will eventually turn to when her past catches up with her.
Ethan Truant is new in Whispering Springs. While he was suspicious of Zoe's request, he has no choice but to accept the job even if he doesn't believe in all that sixth sense nonsense that she claims to possess. But as he comes closer to unraveling the house's secrets, he soon realizes that Zoe may indeed be telling the truth. To make matters worse, Zoe's life is endangered when the people she's been running away from tracks her down in Arizona. And heaven help those who try to hurt her! Wow! What a great introduction to Jayne Ann Krentz. This book oozes mystery and suspense right from the first chapter. I admit that, initially, I was a little skeptical about the whole I-can-hear-the-walls-screaming-in-agony concept; however, the author has done well in building up the suspense through the heroine's psychic ability. The mystery of Zoe and her friend Arcadia's past also adds to the suspense. And while the romance side doesn't ooze sensuality like a typical Linda Howard novel, the interaction between Zoe and Ethan provides enough sizzle. Some of the secondary characters are also interesting-- like Arcadia, Ethan's sister and nephews right down to the villains. LIGHT IN SHADOW is a suspenseful romantic-thriller that is guaranteed to hold your interest. While I cannot say yet that this is the author's best, I can definitely say that this was a fantastic read and I look forward to reading Ms Krentz's other novels. |
