Summary
3.5 stars -- Rebecca
"Someone has an attack leopard?"
Apparently so. Wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden had come face to face with the big cat and lived to tell the story, thanks to her boyfriend Blake Lawson's quick response. The evidence showed that a privately owned animal had been turned loose on The Sanctuary Wildlife Preserve for the express purpose of stalking Paradise, and oddly enough the encounter is coupled with an unveiled threat on the cusp of her half-brother Drew's visit.
Solving her parents' murder had been hanging over Paradise's shoulders for fifteen years. The coincidental deaths of Drew's parents in the same time frame was certainly curious, making everyone convinced that the two incidents were connected. Now that the two siblings have re-united, they begin to dig through every thread of evidence, while it becomes crystal clear that someone is ready and willing to kill again in order to hide a decades old conspiracy.
With its dizzying array of plot threads and red herrings, this story leads readers through a maze of possibilities, with a conclusion that most would never see coming, and even if they had, would never have predicted the depth of depraved intentions. On the bright side, there is the sweetest romance that has been a long time coming, along with encouraging reminders that God really does have a plan worth waiting for, and yes, we all need community . . . just ask the lemurs!
