Shadow's Mystery

Shadow Island Series, Book 9

By: Mary Stone, Lori Rhodes

Narrated by: Brittany Goodwin

When the dead can't speak, the shadows whisper their secrets.

There’s never a dull moment on Shadow Island, especially for its small but growing sheriff’s department. This time, Sheriff Rebecca West, along with new deputy Viviane Darby, discover a man hanging from the rafters of the caretaker’s shed at Oceanview Cemetery.

Does death follow Rebecca? Or does she attract it?

The scene suggests suicide—an unlocked padlock, a rope, a toppled bench, and the lifeless body. The plot thickens when they unearth the fact that the man’s high school love and former wife, claimed by cancer, lies buried close by. Surely, the man took his own life.

Rebecca’s gut says otherwise.

When she investigates the dead cybersecurity expert’s office the next day and interrupts a burglary in progress, things are suddenly not so cut and dried. Now they’re looking for a murderer—one who’s gone to a lot of trouble to cover their tracks and make the victim’s death look like a suicide.

And he isn’t finished.

A cybersecurity expert could make a lot of enemies. The next "suicide" victim had only one. And Rebecca must find and stop him before he strikes again.

From the staggering beginning to the unpredictable conclusion, Shadow’s Darkness—the tenth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a reminder that sometimes, the answers lie in embracing the shadows, because everyone has a hidden side.

Good story

Very saddened about the loss of a deputy in the prior book, but Vi will be great! Also why is there no more books on audible? I have to listen, sitting down and reading isn't an option! PLEASE do more on audible! Britney Goodwin is a Great narrator I don't think I could handle someone else or computer generated voice reading these series!

Boring

This was boring. Should have returned the title. Narrator was very good, though. I thought this was a different author.
