Despite the Lockwood sisters’ harrowing childhood memories of the
youngest sibling’s abduction and their father’s desertion, the middle one Kathryn
the anthropologist (see Forbidden Ground) and Tess (see Shattered Secrets) found
love and happiness in Cold Creek, Ohio. The
two younger siblings would like the oldest Charlene the social worker to move
on like they have.
The Childhood Education in Appalachia Project employs Charlene. She visits families in their homes in order
to persuade the parents to send their kids to school. On a remote mountain road, Charlene saves the
life of Lake Azur community manager Matt Rowan just before his truck plunges
off the road. Since his vehicle was
pushed off the cliff by a black truck, Charlene and Matt wonder who wants him
dead. As they team up investigating his
near death, the couple falls in love.
The third and final Lockwood sister Cold Creek thriller is an enjoyable
romantic suspense as there are several viable suspects with diverse motives and
the love subplot supports the terse inquiry.
The deep look at fracking enriches the sensational spinning storyline.
