In the Shadow of Evil is full of suspense, romance and is definitely a book that will teach you about forgiveness and persistance. I love it when a book speaks right to your heart, don't you? The main characters, Layla and Maddox are both very strong in who they are as well as what they believe. Maddox and his partner work hard investigating the murder of a gentleman found dead in one of Layla's houses in which she was the Contractor. With every lead they receive, the case takes twists and turns and Maddox finds himself falling for Layla. As the answers to the case come, so does an answer to his past that he Never saw coming. But as you know ....Where there is truth, there is Freedom. For Layla, not only does she have her reputation to save, but she also has some issues in her past that surface because of all that has happened.
I truly loved this book and as I have already shared, I am telling everyone about this one! I recommend this one to any and all. I will also be finding Robin Caroll's other books and adding them to my library! So love it when I find a new author and Robin Caroll is AWESOME!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Born and raised in Louisiana, Robin Caroll is a southerner through and through. Her passion has always been to tell stories to entertain others. Robin’s mother, bless her heart, is a genealogist who instilled in Robin the deep love of family and pride of heritage—two aspects Robin weaves into each of her books. When she isn’t writing, Robin spends time with her husband of twenty years, her three beautiful daughters, one precious grandson, and their four character-filled pets at home—in the South, where else?
Robin gives back to the writing community by serving as Conference Director for ACFW. Her books have finaled/placed in such contests as RT Reviewer's Choice, Bookseller's Best, and Book of the Year. An avid reader herself, Robin loves hearing from and chatting with other readers. Although her favorite genre to read is mystery/suspense, of course, she’ll read just about any good story. Except historicals!
