CONTEMPORARY SUSPENSE/ROMANCE : A Stranger Watches by Kathi Oram Peterson


ABOUT THE BOOK

Something is wrong. Despite the fact that Kyra Fletcher hasn't seen her estranged father in five years, the peculiar birthday card he sends in the mail is our of character—and alarming.

Determined to put her mind at ease and men their relationship in person, Kyra travels to her father's Wyoming lodge. She finds it well kept but vacant, and according to the people in town, her father has been gone for months. Kyra is certain something has happened to him and turns to local Sheriff Shane McQuire for help. As the pair works together to investigate her father's whereabouts, Kyra finds herself becoming more and more comfortable with the town—and its sheriff. But she is unaware of one deadly detail: someone is watching her, and as she draws ever closer to the answers she seeks, that person will do anything to ensure her silence.

REVIEW

Kyra Fletcher arrives in Wyoming to discover her father missing.  She'd come to find out why he had never shown up to see her, after telling her he was coming.  With the help of the local sheriff, Shane McQuire, she sets out to find her father.  But clues are few and far between, and no one seems to have any idea where her father is.  And her father's wife complicates everything.  Kyra's difficulties with her lawyer neighbor, and Shane's struggles with his teenage daughter make it even more challenging to find answers.  But Kyra is determined to find her father despite the growing number of incidents that make it clear that someone doesn't want her to find anything. The growing feelings between Kyra and Shane also leave her wondering what the future might hold.

Kathi Oram Peterson has written plenty of romantic suspense novels, but this is my favorite so far.  I enjoyed the characters and following along as they searched for clues.  Peterson does a fine job of revealing information piece by piece, allowing the reader to try to figure things out along with Kyra and Shane.  The relationship issues made the book more interesting and left me with lots of suspects. An enjoyable read for those who enjoy contemporary romance and mystery.
