Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters is a contemporary
Christian suspense mystery. It is set in
a small town in Georgia. The story
revolves around Pecca, a rehabilitation nurse working with military and
ex-military patients. This is how she
meets Colton Crawford.
The first half of the book concentrates on the character’s
backgrounds and back stories. We get insights into their characters.
Pecca has moved in an attempt to protect her handicapped son
from a dangerous part of her past. We
learn early on what those circumstances are , but the danger seems to have
abated. The mystery is, why do dangerous,
threatening things still keep happening to her? We are kept in suspense until almost
the end of the story. Be prepared for a twist!
Colton Crawford is suffering from a troubling physical
condition and Pecca works with him to aleiviate his symptoms, He forms an attachment to Pecca and her son
and is determined to protect them and discover who is threatening them.
This is a very easy to read book. You don’t have to try to figure out what the
author means. She writes in a very
straight forward manner. It is not what
I would call a nail biter mystery but it is very intriguing and the mystery
keeps you interested in the story.
This is from the back cover blurb:
“They're running from their pasts into an unknown future.
But first, they'll have to survive the present.
Nurse Pecca Gallegos moved to the tiny town of Walton, Georgia, to protect her son and escape the dangerous lifestyle that once defined her. When a series of strange circumstances evolves into threats, Pecca finds herself confiding in an unlikely ally--her stubborn patient.
Army veteran Colton Crawford is desperate to recover from the disorder that is ruining his life, and his instincts are on high alert when threats against his nurse and her son force him to take action. But Colton's involvement only ramps up the danger when he uncovers a family secret revealing that whoever is after Pecca is closer--and more deadly--than they realized.
Welcome back to Walton, Georgia, where everyone knows your name--but no one knows your secret.”
