Danielle Jones loved the scent of the tall pines that surrounded her new home - a log home, nestled in a remote area in East Texas. It seemed the other end of the world from the high society life as a doctor's wife she'd tried to live in Austin. When her marriage disintegrated just after her mom died, Dani grieved for the time she'd lost, then applied for a fellowship at a university in Tyler and picked up the plans she'd set aside to work while her ex-husband finished medical school. Nearly ten years older, and certainly wiser, she was excited about finishing her own schooling and getting her life back on track.Not many women would be excited about a job in a Biology lab, or more precisely a reptile lab. But for Dani, it was part of the package. She wasn't crazy about snakes, but it put her on the fast track to finishing her degree in Zoology. It didn't seem bad until snakes started turning up in places they weren't supposed to be. As Dani gave in to her naturally inquisitive nature, she learned that several years ago her new home had been owned by the man in charge of the Ophidian lab. Worse, some students disappeared out there one day when they were scouting the surrounding area for snakes. Suddenly Dani's new life seemed more filled with dread than with promise. What happened to those students who were never found? And why did Dani have the strange feeling that someone out there was watching her? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

She certainly hadn’t planned on getting involved in a missing person’s case. The plan had been to focus on school and her career long denied. Romance was the last thing on her mind as well. But, when you unwittingly purchase a home with a dark history, one can’t help but become involved. Especially when, after asking a few questions, things start happening that may or may not be the actions of someone trying to scare your off. Good thing your nearest neighbor happens to be not only a police officer, but a very good looking one at that.
What follows is a cozy style mystery that is heavy on the romance side of things. Dani has a growing relationship with the officer next door, Noah Russell, while also dealing with the rigors of being a grad student, and being the target of somebody bent on driving her away. Things slowly escalate as the weeks pass to the Christmas Holidays and snows come to Tyler.
Those who expect a more police procedural style read will be disappointed as this is primarily a romance with a mystery element. As such, not all the mystery related questions are answered and all the loose ends are not resolved. A comfortable and enjoyable read from Texas author PJ Nunn, Shadow In The Pines will appeal to readers who primarily like suspense and romance with a side helping of mystery all combined into a heavily atmospheric tale set in the piney woods of East Texas.
