   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) libraryofemma | Apr 18, 2024 |  As Annie is grappling with normalcy in her own life, sinister crimes are happening. She must learn to lean on God even more. ( ) Sassyjd32 | Dec 22, 2023 | Edge of Dusk is the first book in a new series by renowned author Colleen Coble featuring Park Ranger Annie Pederson. The plot is tragic and tense as Annie investigates the cold-case disappearance of Penelope Day and Sophie Smith to find the answers to what happened to them and, hopefully, clear Jon’s name once and for all. Annie is an energetic go-getter, working as a park ranger and keeping the family business afloat while being a single parent to her daughter, Kylie. The two are still grieving the loss of husband and father, Nate, with Kylie terrified that something will happen to her mother. It is hard watching Jon try to find common, acceptable ground with Kylie, especially with Kylie’s true parentage up in the air. The story is told from a couple of different viewpoints: Annie’s, Jon’s, and the hired hand at the marina/resort, Taylor’s. Readers are privy to Annie’s and Jon’s inner thoughts about their failed relationship and continued love for each other. I couldn’t help but root for this couple to finally talk to each other about their past. For most of the story, Taylor Moore is a wild card of a character, and there are surprising plot twists regarding her. There is a big reveal of a cliffhanger ending to this book. As an experienced law enforcement officer, Annie runs a legitimate investigation into the disappearance of the two teenage hikers. So, while this feels a bit like a cozy mystery, it is much grittier than that, and there is a professionally-trained investigator at the helm. Annie and Jon team up to clear his name, and the pair head out across the Upper Peninsula region to chase down leads. I enjoyed the variety of interesting small towns and legendary local establishments woven into the story, such as Poorrock Abbey’s Jampot in Eagle River. (I can confirm that you can buy their jam online.) The descriptions of the beauty of the area and Lake Superior really shine and will tempt you to plan your next vacation to visit it. I recommend EDGE OF DUSK to romantic suspense readers who enjoy a lot of action, second-chance romance plots, and a great Upper Peninsula location. (  ) KarenSiddall | Feb 4, 2023 | Author: Colleen Coble Pages: 337 Year: 2022 Publisher: Thomas Nelson My rating: 5 out of 5 stars If you are looking for a story that is going to hook you quickly, here is that book! Colleen Coble has written previous novels set in Rock Harbor. Once again, we return to this beautiful land in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The central character is Annie Pederson. Readers meet her when she is on a dock at night with her younger sister Sarah. Without much warning, Annie is in the water and injured, but whatever becomes of Sarah? Years later, Annie is a law enforcement officer in Rock Harbor, widowed and with a daughter named Kaylie. With every discovery of a body, Annie wonders if she will get closure regarding her sister. Annie also runs a marina and campground that her parents had owned for years. Annie’s past comes to the forefront when an old flame returns named Jon. Jon is now a successful orthopedic surgeon who lives elsewhere but has returned to repair the cabin his family has owned so it can be sold. The discovery of two bodies in one of Annie’s oldest cabins opens up a cold case of two young woman who went hitchhiking and never came home. Jon is in the crosshairs of the investigation, and unless new clues come to light, he just might be in serious trouble. There is another wrinkle when a young woman named Taylor comes to work for Annie. She appears to be a nice young woman in need of lodging and a job. She is great with Kaylie. Yet, as readers will learn, there is more to her story than what she first reveals to Annie. Be prepared to sit and delve into a great mystery! There is also a past mistake that is part of Annie’s story, and it may just change her future. The book ends with a cliffhanger in once sense, which makes me excited to read the sequel due to come out in January of 2023 titled, Dark of Night. The first book kept me engaged and biting at the bit to get back to the book when I had to take breaks. It is very well written. I hope audiences get the book, read it, and then look forward to a promising continuation of Annie’s Pederson’s tale! Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
