Dani Jones left a broken marriage
and more behind when she moved to Tyler, Texas. Her new home is a two story log
cabin nestled in the woods of East Texas. Not only is she many miles away from
the Austin neighborhood and her jerk of a husband, she is finally pursing her
dreams starting with grad school at the University of Texas at Tyler.
She certainly hadn’t planned on
getting involved in a missing person’s case. The plan had been to focus on
school and her career long denied. Romance was the last thing on her mind as
well. But, when you unwittingly purchase a home with a dark history, one can’t
help but become involved. Especially when, after asking a few questions, things
start happening that may or may not be the actions of someone trying to scare
your off. Good thing your nearest neighbor happens to be not only a police
officer, but a very good looking one at that.
What follows is a cozy style mystery
that is heavy on the romance side of things. Dani has a growing
relationship with the officer next door, Noah Russell, while also dealing with
the rigors of being a grad student, and being the target of somebody bent on
driving her away. Things slowly escalate as the weeks pass to the Christmas
Holidays and snows come to Tyler.
Those who expect a more police
procedural style read will be disappointed as this is primarily a romance with
a mystery element. As such, not all the mystery related questions are answered and
all the loose ends are not resolved. A comfortable and enjoyable read from
Texas author PJ Nunn, Shadow In The Pines will appeal to
readers who primarily like suspense and romance with a side helping of mystery
all combined into a heavily atmospheric tale set in the piney woods of East
Texas.
