Falling Darkness

Izzy Llewellyn Small Town Suspense, Book 1

De: Zara Evans

Narrado por: Alex Picard, Joe Knezevich

She came home to face her past. She stayed to fight for her future.

Former FBI agent Izar "Izzy" Llewellyn never wanted to return to Darkness, California. But when she's offered the position of sheriff in her hometown—the same role her father held before his death—she sees it as a chance to rebuild her life after her husband's betrayal and death.

The last thing she needs is the town's handsome doctor, Cole Barrow, challenging her every move. Between his helicopter rescues and small-town charm, he's already won over most of the county. But Izzy knows better than to trust a man who seems too good to be true, no matter how much he makes her want to believe in second chances.

When children start falling ill and her predecessor's "accident" begins to look like murder, Izzy realizes Darkness holds more secrets than she imagined. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a deadly conspiracy that threatens everything she holds dear. With a killer closing in and corruption poisoning the town, Izzy must decide if she can trust Cole—and her heart—before it's too late.

In this small town, darkness isn't just a name—it's a promise.

Love this new series!

'm so glad I discovered this series. At last, a gripping detective/mystery story without bad language, excessive violence or sex scenes. I really liked having a female protagonist as Izzy, newly appointed interim sheriff in a town in California called Darkness (for the record who would want to live in a town called Darkness!) The story involves her personal life and emotions plus all the secrets of the town Darkness. A town where she used to live but left after her father, a former sheriff, was killed in the line of duty. There's a romantic interest in the town doctor, Cole. It was twists and turns that kept me reading or listening into the night. I especially like the Audible recording. It had a female and male narrator. The female voice narrated from Izzy's point of view and a male voice narrated from Cole's point of view. Great narration! I would HIGHLY recommend it!
