What is this book about?
After the murder of her twin sister, Murphy Anderson changed her name and appearance and moved to Kodiak, Alaska, to avoid the press and publicity. But when local authorities discover she’s an artist and request her help in drawing a dying man’s memories, she unintentionally ends up in the limelight again—and back in the killer’s crosshairs.
The deathbed confessions of an Alaskan hunter have Murphy drawing the five bodies he discovered on remote Ruuwaq Island ten years ago. But what investigators find has them mystified. Evidence suggests that the bodies were deliberately destroyed, and what they uncover in an abandoned Quonset hut from World War II only brings more questions.
As one by one the investigators who were at the hut die, Murphy knows there is something much darker at stake. What happened on this island during the war? And who is willing to kill to keep its secrets buried?
My review:
This story was very suspenseful. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what happened next. And poor Murphy, every time she showed up somewhere bad things happened. There was quite a variety of interesting characters and the settings were as ominous as the storyline.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Page turning suspense
What I didn’t like about this book:
One of the twists near the end (can’t say more without spoiling)
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Interesting characters, surprising twists, and lots of suspense. This is a standalone novel.
