Vanishing Hour by Laura Griffin
Publisher: Berkley
Publication Date: October 25, 2022
ISBN-13: 978-0593546697
OVERVIEW
Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city and the daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas and has moved to the small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her dog, Huck, discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer search-and-rescue mission, she’s perplexed, but she carefully photographs it all the same.
All Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city slicker—with her designer jeans and shiny car—who has no business on a serious team made of seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells him of her findings on the trail, he sees there’s more to her than meets the eye.
Ava’s discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the campsite further, another woman disappears under odd circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and their own electric chemistry to solve the case.
Vanishing Hour by Laura Griffin Review
Bear with me for a bit because I think I am going to gush a bit.
This author has been growing on me over the years. I have read so many of her stories and each one of them is unique and absorbing!
I love the characters and the settings. She just pours so much into each story it is hard to not want to read more and more! Vanishing Hour is exactly what I just described!
The setting is awesome. The stark desert with blistering heat you can almost feel. The landscape that hides secrets for decades. The beauty in the skies. The rock formations that call your name.
Griffin tells a story loaded with fabulous characters that are interesting and keep us wanting more. Grant and Ava balance each other perfectly with their passion for what they do, smart thinking, and building feelings. I love that this is a fabulous blend of romance and suspense with police procedurals and intensity too! This steamy story hits the mark!
Vanishing Hour is a book that I could not stop reading. With gutsy characters, formidable conditions, and steam rolling off in waves, Griffin will grab a hold of you with her writing finesse and not let you go.
I need more!
