BLURB:
Alone in a hunting cabin, off-grid in an
untamed wilderness. How does a marriage come to this?
After John disappeared while hunting—presumed dead
from a bear attack—Cameron found the crime photos. His role in the recent
Seattle serial murders was discovered. The media destroyed her reputation. She
lost her dental practice, is on the brink of losing her home.
Everyone has a secret. But if her husband could
hide the unimaginable from her, who’s to say he’s truly dead?
“What brings you so far from home?” the Alaska
State Trooper had asked. The truth.

Excerpt One:
The next photo sent goosebumps down Cameron’s limbs and to the top of her scalp. Despite the fire crackling next to her, the cabin suddenly felt cold. The same woman was now obviously deceased.
She lay on her back. Naked. Her skin mottled and a marbled gray. Her lips were a bluish purple, and her eyes were closed. Severe bruising lined her neck. Cameron put a hand over her mouth and clicked to the next photo. It was of the same woman, only zoomed out.
The woman was lying on a bed. Her skin looked even more ashen next to the red bedspread. Cameron looked away and racked her brain for why John would have had these photos. Maybe he’d gotten them from a client he defended. Though it was unlike him to keep evidence like this lying loosely inside his bookshelf.
Cameron clicked to the next photo. She gasped as her glass slipped from her fingers and shattered on the wood floor between her feet.
She stared at the hand-carved cedar bedframe the dead woman was lying on. It was the same bed Cameron had slept in last night. A shirtless man stood at the end of the bed, his reflection captured in the photo by a large mirror above the headboard. He was looking down at the dead woman, and he aimed his black Nikon toward her for the photo.
Cameron recognized the man immediately. She’d know that face anywhere. It was the face she’d been missing and grieving over for the last three months. It was John.
My Thoughts: A fast paced short chapters story all of which I LOVE! I hate reading books with long over explained chapters. Easily held my interest even though alot of it was a bit predictable but it was told in such a way that that didn't bother me so much. I would love to see a Netflix show made from this!
