Summary: 3 Stars
Zoe Luce has been in hiding in Whispering Springs, Arizona. She is a decorator with very special abilities. She can hear past tragic events in the walls of a room. When a recently divorced man hires her, she is disturbed by what she senses in the bedroom. Zoe is convinced the man murdered his wife, and is compelled to help, but she is unsure what to do since she is living a lie herself as an escapee from a mental institution. She decides to hire a private investigator to help her. Ethan Truax has just taken over a small operation in town, and Zoe reluctantly hires him. They clash from the first time they meet, but that doesn't stop the attraction from coming to the surface. Ethan is trying to piece together his life after his brother's murder, and another failed marriage - his 3rd! He also hates psychics, and makes no secret of it.
As the pieces begin to fall into place in solving the mystery, Zoe's life begins to fall apart. One of the guards at the mental institution has tracked her down, and decides that it would be more profitable to blackmail Zoe than take her back. When Zoe goes to Ethan for help they are drawn even closer to each other, as he now understands her past. When Ethan delves deeper into Zoe's life it comes out how her deceased husband's family had her put away to keep her from her inheritance. To keep her safe, he decides to marry Zoe.
I liked the characters of Ethan and Zoe and was rooting for them to be together. It was interesting that the main case was solved early on only to fall immediately into another to solve. Different concept not often seen.
Summary of Light in Shadow
Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who's developed an unusual career specialty - helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes, to help them forget about the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can't be covered up with a new coat of paint. And when she sense that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret, she enlists P.I. Ethan Truax to find the truth.Working together, they solve the mystery...and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan's exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful, inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden with a house's walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn't really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him.
Now, no matter how much she resists, Ethan may be her only hope - because the people she's been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves, her own past starts to shadow her every step - and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.
Hiding behind an expensive, black-market-created identity, Zoe Luce has built a successful interior design business in Whispering Springs, Arizona, and hopes that she has just as successfully buried her past. She can't ignore her unique psychic abilities, however, and when she walks into a new client's bedroom and hears the walls scream and moan, she knows something terrible has happened in the house. Did her client murder his wife? She's determined to find out, but investigating a possible murder is beyond her expertise, so Zoe turns to Ethan Truax, a private detective new to the small Arizona community. Solving the murder of the businessman's wife is a piece of cake for Ethan compared to the complicated enigma that he finds in Zoe. Mysterious nightmares haunt her and when a would-be blackmailer is found dead, Zoe's past inexorably collides with her new life, threatening their dreams of a future together.
Author Jayne Ann Krentz is at the top of her form in Light in Shadow, a nonstop roller coaster ride of thrills and chills. Romance, suspense, humor, and danger challenge an intriguing cast of characters and blend seamlessly in a plot that twists, turns, and surprises. --Lois Faye Dyer
