Carla Kovach's "Her Hidden Shadow" (Detective Gina Harte Book 14)

 



Her perfect night out just became her worst nightmare…

Lauren returns home from celebrating her engagement with friends and stumbles as she gets out of the taxi. So what if her best friend Sienna didn’t show up? Lauren had a good night anyway. As she walks towards the small house she shares with her fiancé, Robbie , she’s surprised to see every window in total darkness. And when she calls his name, the house remains silent. Where is Robbie?

Kicking off her red heels, Lauren heads towards her bedroom, feeling more nervous with every step. And when she opens the door, she immediately knows something is very wrong. The sickly metallic smell sobers her up instantly. And there is someone in her bed…

Moving closer, her heart races in her chest. Instead of her fiancé, in the bed lies the lifeless body of a young woman, and although long dark hair covers her face, Lauren can already see who it is… her best friend, Sienna.

As Lauren’s scream breaks the silence, someone stands outside the bedroom, tracking her every move. Did Lauren’s perfect little home just become the most dangerous place she could be? 

Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter and Clare Mackintosh, Her Hidden Shadow will have you hooked from the very first page. ~taken from Goodreads


Another banger from Author Carla Kovach! The Detective Harte series is just phenomenal. You really can't go wrong when you pick up a book from this series. They all work together or as stand alone books. 

This time Gina is back with an old flame and they are figuring out their newly rekindled relationship. Meanwhile, a series of murders happens and Gina's work partner seems to be a suspect. To make matters worse, an old work nemesis from Gina's past is put in charge of the investigation, meaning Gina is no longer lead and answers to someone else. She will have to put everything she has into proving her partner is innocent. 

The current murders seem somehow linked to past assaults, but the assaults have gone unsolved. Somehow there has to be a link to all the victims and Gina needs to figure it out and fast. 

There was a weird subplot about eco-activism thrown in to this plot that was irrelevant and boring. I see what the author was trying to do, but find that taking it out completely wouldn't have changed the story much. 

The twists and turns kept coming up until the end. An intriguing mystery novel.  Another 5 star read!
