Winner of “Montana Match” Giveaway and a Review of “Stalker in the Shadows” by Camy Tang (Love Inspired Suspense, January 2012)

Rain, sleet, snow, wind…most of the country looks like a winter wonderland. The weather fits in perfectly with the setting of last week’s giveaway, “Montana Match” by Merrillee Whren. I’ve picked a winner which I’ll announce at the end of the post. Sneaky, I know.

If you’d like to escape to a warmer spot, take a trip to sunny Sonoma, California via Camy Tang‘s newest release “Stalker in the Shadows” (Love Inspired Suspense, January 2012.)

There are some dark clouds on the horizon for nurse Monica Grant, the heroine of “Stalker in the Shadows.” Monica’s on a mission to open a children’s free clinic. She seeks support from investors and the community to make the dream a reality. But not everyone in the neighborhood welcomes the idea. Someone is trying to shut down the project at any cost.

Monica knows someone is stalking her. The person wants her to know and to be afraid. Monica receives anonymous threats that are very real. Threatening letters accompanied by a dead snake, phone calls, and photos tracking every move she makes.

Monica is resilient and persistent. She turns to former lawman Shaun O’Neill for help. Shaun takes the case personally. Five years ago his sister was murdered-and Shaun’s believes it was by the same madman who’s stalking Monica.

Together the pair set up to save Monica’s dream and to catch a killer. Along the way both Monica and Shaun discover things about themselves and about each other. The dialog between the pair is a fun give-and-take, adding levity between the serious scenes.

Tang subtly weaves in a believable spiritual subplot that can be digested by a non-believer or spiritually mature Christian.

“Stalker in the Shadows” is my favorite book by Camy Tang. Okay, so I said that in my review about her last book “Protection for Hire” but it’s true. Tang’s writing continues to improve which each story. If you like romantic suspense, “Stalker in the Shadows” is a must have for your collection. But beyond the label of romantic suspense, “Stalker in the Shadows” is a book that breaks out of the genre mold and earns the label of a great read.

You can purchase “Stalker in the Shadows” in stores, online, or as an ebook.
