Light and Darkness

Izzy Llewellyn Small Town Suspense, Book 3

By: Zara Evans

Narrated by: Alex Picard, Joe Knezevich

Some wounds never heal. Some hunters never quit. Some truths can get you killed.

Sheriff Izar "Izzy" Llewellyn is growing into her role in Darkness, California, but now faces a contentious special election. The last thing she needs is a dead body high in the Sierra Nevadas, or the FBI agents who sweep into her small town, bringing painful reminders of the career—and life—she left behind.

When evidence in the case points to local doctor Cole Barrow, Izzy's personal and professional lives collide. Her instincts tell her Cole is innocent, but the FBI sees an open-and-shut case. As a former agent herself, Izzy knows how quickly they'll move to make an arrest—and how blind they can be once they've settled on a suspect.

With a second woman missing and time running out, Izzy must navigate treacherous mountain peaks and even more dangerous human nature to uncover the truth. But in a town called Darkness, shining a light on buried secrets can be deadly...

Light and Darkness is a gripping small-town suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final minute.

Love this new series, at least, new to me

I'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!
