Gathering Shadows

April 1, 2014
Mehl launches an exciting new series with Gathering Shadows. As a journalist, Wynter Evans is no stranger to hunting down the truth, but the big event in her own life remains an unsolved mystery. When the opportunity for a great story also provides an opening into her haunted past, Wynter jumps at the chance to head to Sanctuary, Missouri. In the quiet Mennonite town, she plans to work on a human-interest piece about the residents while also attempting to find her long-lost brother. Things rarely go as planned, so Wynter soon finds herself knee-deep in veiled threats and a blossoming romance with the local mayor. As they get closer to the truth, things become dangerous, and Wynter begins to question whether her quest is worth the risk to herself and those around her. Mehl writes a fun, fast-paced tale of romantic suspense sure to have readers trying to figure out the truth until the very last reveal. The Mennonite background adds character to an already zippy and unique novel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
