In A Deadly Wilderness, author Kelly Irvin transports the reader to San Antonio, Texas for an intriguing Romantic Suspense story that will keep the reader guessing and turning the pages.
When a prominent citizen's son is found murdered in a wilderness park by San Antonio Homicide Detective Ray Johnson while hiking, the heat is on to find the killer by the mayor and chief of police. When more bodies are found in other city parks with a connection to the first victim, the investigation intensifies, and is made even harder when the suspect list grows, and Ray has personal struggles and a professional conflict with his partner, Detective Deborah Smith, added into the mix. Ray is determined to solve the murder case before it becomes even more deadlier.
Author Kelly Irvin weaves a fast-paced and suspenseful tale written in the third person narrative that follows Ray and Deborah as they search for the reason behind the murders and for the killer. They embark on a dangerous cat-n-mouse game with someone who will do anything to get what they want.
The reader will be easily drawn into this action-packed and well written story with its richly descriptive plot that will keep them guessing as secrets, possible motives, deceptions, and clues are uncovered during the search for the killer. Just when you think you know who is behind the murders, the author teases the reader with unexpected twists and turns that keeps them sitting on the edge of their seat until the surprise ending.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much I loved the intertwining of a Christian faith themed story with an intriguing and suspenseful police procedural, it kept me turning the pages. The angsty personal relationship that Ray has with his girlfriend, and the haunting addiction that Deborah has that threatens her career, had me feeling the gamut of emotions, it just doesn't get better than that!
A Deadly Wilderness has enough drama, tension, action, dark secrets, a touch of romance, and unexpected twists and turns that will take the reader on one heck of a thrilling roller coaster ride.
