Dale Mayer's Haunted by Death

[Eva Millien]

The second book in the series is an intriguing thriller that keeps the reader reading until the very end.

Seventeen years ago, a group of young friends’ lives were destroyed when one of them disappears on a camping trip.  Meg left everything behind including her lover and now concentrates more on her career than anything. Chad the one she left behind, is a detective and has spent the last seventeen years trying to solve the mystery.  When Meg returns she makes a gruesome discovery that sets things in motion that will turn their life upside down.

The plot is set at a slow and steady pace that keeps the reader engaged with solving the mystery.  The suspense builds as more clues are uncovered that leaves them with more questions. This book is very intriguing and keeps the reader guessing until the very end with some surprising twist and turns.

The author conveys the suspense in such a way that the reader is taken along with the compelling characters as they discover the horrible truth to what happened to their friend. The book is a romantic suspense but it concentrates more on the mystery than the romance, but what is there is well written and fits into the story at a believable pace.  Though this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone book.  I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

I received this review from NetGalley in exchange for a hones review.
