I'm a fan of Nalini Singh's books, and this is top-notch. It's a different style from her paranormals, but it features engaging characters, and fantastic New Zealand locations..Our heroine has returned home after the death of her husband. It's a quiet small town, but 15 years ago there were three missing hikers, and their cases were never solved. Now a local girl is missing.... This starts the drama, and it is a fantastic read. We get the small town details, the people who have know each other since childhood, and the small town gossip. Highly recommended!
