Publisher's summary

Award-winning author Carrie Stuart Parks combines her expertise as a forensic artist with her talent for crafting a gripping story in this pause-resisting web of light and shadow.

A woman off the grid.

Darby Graham thinks she’s on a much-needed vacation in remote Idaho to relax. But before she even arrives at the ranch, an earthquake strikes. Then a barn on the edge of town is engulfed in flames and strange problems at the ranch begin to escalate, and Darby finds herself immersed in a chilling mystery.

A town on fire.

More fires erupt around town, and a serial arsonist sends taunting letters to the press after each. As a forensic linguist, this is Darby’s area of expertise . . . but the scars her work has caused her are also the reason she’s trying to escape her life.

A growing darkness.

As the shadows continue moving in, pieces of the town around her come into sharper focus. To make it out alive, Darby must decide if she can trust the one man who sees her clearly.

Praise for Woman in Shadow:

“Unique, witty, and hilarious, Carrie's voice shines throughout Woman in Shadow. The perfect mix of intrigue, mystery and danger, this is most definitely a book for my keeper shelf.” (Dani Pettrey, best-selling author of the Coastal Guardians series)

Not as good as Parks’ other books. The story was just ok, not as suspenseful as usual.

The story was ok but just not a page turner. I kept losing my focus and having to back track. Then the scene with the active shooter seemed to go on forever. There was also a good deal of graphic descriptions of injuries. It was an ok book but not as good as her usual story.

Confusing

I really wanted to love this book because of the anticipation I had after reading Park's Gwen Marcey Collection. I loved those! The concept of a forensic linguist is intriguing! However, trying to keep up with the characters was very confusing. I didn't follow along with the story very well and a character would pop up out of nowhere and I found myself wondering, "Who is that?" Oh, the guy from 6 chapters ago? What's his name again? There were too many characters and unnecessary scenes.
