My Thoughts-SHADOWED WITNESS by Angela Carlisle

 

SHADOWED WITNESS by Angela Carlisle July 7 - August 1, 2025 Virtual Book Tour

THE SECRETS OF KINCAID    A haunting attack. A killer in the shadows. A protective love. Murder--that's what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs outside her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her. Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye's report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.

Catch Up With Angela Carlisle: AngelaCarlisle.com Amazon Author Profile Goodreads BookBub - @AngelaCarlisle  Instagram - @angelacarlislewriter Facebook - @AngelaCarlisle.Writer   My Thoughts  Shadowed Witness is book two in the Secrets of Kincaid series that is written by y Angela Carlisle. I have read the first book but they can be read as stand alone.  In this story, we meet Allye Jessup. She feels that she witnessed a murder. However she seems to have survived an attack, but no one seems to believe her. I was drawn into this book as soon as I started reading. The author has packed in so much suspense, mystery and romance.  Detective Eric Thornton is the one who takes Allye’s case. He’s overloaded with other cases but he sees some things that others have dismissed. I loved the twists and turns and the evolution of our characters.  The author has not only written an amazing story, there is faith woven in throughout. Learning to trust God fully is a hard thing to do sometimes but we see Allye make strides in her faith.  I’ve enjoyed being in Kincaid, Kentucky and this is a series I hope never ends. Thank you to the author, publisher and Partners in Crime Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
