Description

Bree and Samson discover a crying infant in the snowy Rock Harbor forest. But where are the baby's parents? And how did she get there?

A mysterious sound leads search-and-rescue worker Bree Matthews and her dog Samson to an abandoned baby in the woods outside Rock Harbor, Michigan. Bree takes the baby girl in and begins to search for the mother—presumably the woman reported missing just days earlier.

While teams scour the wintery forests, Bree ferrets out clues about the woman. Where is show more she and why did she leave the child behind? And how does that connect to Bree's first husband's mysterious death years ago in the Upper Peninsula? Everything Bree thought she knew about her life changes with the sound of a cry in the night.

Another really good romantic suspense story set in the town of Rock Harbor. I encourage others to read these stories in order, this being the last one (so far). You will come to think of this town and these people as real folks, with their failures and problems and their love of family and friends.

In this story an abandoned baby is left in the woods and Bree Matthews and her dog Samson find this baby. Now they must search for the parents, without growing too attached to the infant. There are also other babies coming up missing, along with several dead bodies of women. Bree and her husband (who also has problems at work), try to figure out what is going on, while keeping an eye on their 8 year old son, who was almost snatched up. I won't show more give away the shocking new reveal in this story, but will say the author always does a great job of surprising me with who the "bad guy" is in her stories. This was no exception. show less
This page-turner is a suspense-filled story right from the beginning with an abandoned baby in peril of freezing to death in the harsh Michigan winter. It's a book that I did not want to put down, and therefore, I read it over the space of a 24-hour period. The characters were familiar to me as I had read an earlier Rock Harbor mystery, but even if this is your first Colleen Coble novel, the characters will seem like family before too many pages. The people of the small Michigan town are easy to know.

What a complex turn of events Bree has to face! After grieving for her first husband, who died in a plane crash, Bree is happily married for the second time, when husband number one reappears. Is he a ghost or a windigo as some claim? What show more connection is there to the missing babies? Was a woman murdered, or was it an unfortunate accident?

Interwoven is the continuing story of Samson, a search and rescue dog. If you enjoy suspense, this one's for you.
