A SHADOW IN THE WINDOW
Nia Hollister doesn’t scare easy. Come hell or high water, she intends to find her cousin's killer, and so she returns to Ash, Kentucky, for answers. What she doesn't expect is to ache with desire every time she sees Law Reilly. If any man can help her escape the nightmares for a while, it's him. But can she allow herself to take comfort in those strong arms when a murderer still roams free?
Unbeknownst to Nia as she quietly slips into Law Reilly's home, she's being watched-by someone who is waiting for an opportunity to strike. Timing is everything, though he can't wait forever. If Nia's not frightened now, she soon will be. Nia has made a vow to find her cousin's killer. She should be careful what she wishes for.
REVIEW
So we come to the final instalment of the Ash trilogy, the one where we finally find out the killer's identity and see all of our three couples walk off into the sunset. On paper, this should be the best of the series, with the stories' climax and the romance of Law Riley, the most consistently featured character throughout, but it wasn't. In fact, it was my least favourite. Go figure.It had some good moments. Especially sections where the killer was in the room; you knew he was because you got a section from his POV (where he's only ever referred to as 'he') but it's a crowded room so you still don't know who it is. Only that's he's one of them. I thought that was clever. It's certainly a new twist on the whodunnit trope and I've never seen it told quite that way before.
But that was about the highlight to an otherwise rather dull plot. Once we found out who it was there was still quite a bit of book left and the end section really dragged because the intrigue was gone and I was no longer interested. And Law and Nia's romance was the least exiting and romantic of the three, so I didn't even really care where that ended.
All together, that adds up to 2.5 Stars ★★★
