Deadman's Track

 Deadman's Track

Reviewed by Helen


Sarah Barrie never fails to have me on the edge of my seat with my heart in my stomach when I read one of her awesome romantic suspense stories and this one was a beauty, we return to Calico Lodge in the beautiful highlands of Tasmania, to catch up with the Atherton Family and this time we see Tess finally find the love that she deserves but not without a lot of ups and downs to say the least, with a killer on the loose things are starting to get scary.

Tess is working with search and rescue and when a tragedy has her re-thinking about her certainty on what she can still do and with a very pushy boyfriend, Tess is not feeling like she used to. It is winter and the weather changes at the drop of a hat when Tess takes on a group of young hikers through a tough track something that she had said no too earlier, off they go but it is not long before things go terribly bad in the worst way and Tess shows how strong and courageous she can be.

Detective Senior Jared Denham is working along -side Detective Indy Atherton after a series of break and enters turns to murder and now they seem to be after a serial killer and Jared is getting closer to Tess the woman who saved his life once, but with her ex pushing his weight around things don’t run very smoothly. And when they discover Tess and her hiking party are in serious trouble in the national park Jared is determined to save her.

This is a page-turner at its best the characters good or bad come to life on the pages in this beautiful setting, Tess wow what courage she shows in life and death situations, she is a very strong and independent heroine and Jared sheer determination and love pulled him through some very tough moments in this story and the young hikers have to be mentioned especially Jai and Riley, I loved this story the sensual pull between Tess and Jared with everything going on was so very good and I can’t highly recommend it enough, yes it has been on my TBR pile for too long but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you MS Barrie for another keeper.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy to read and review.
