Missing In The Dark
Bernadette Calonego
Detective
Sergeant Calista Gates is headed back to Vancouver, her hometown.
She's planning to participate in a clinical research program about
brain damage. But she's also keen to look into a cold case involving
Becca, a childhood friend and neighbor who died some twenty years
ago. She's been haunted by her death for years but hasn't been able
to do much about it. But the disappearance of Tilly Falon from a
remote cabin in British Columbia, near where Becca's body was found,
and an aspiring author who claims to be writing a true crime novel,
hinting that she might know something about Becca, leaves Calista
thinking the killer may still be in the area. Will she be able to
draw the killer out without endangering herself? She will need all
the skills she has to find out what happened to the two
women.
Missing In The Dark is the fourth book in the Calista
Gate Series, and I have loved them all. This one is no exception.
There are enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing what will
happen next. I love the element of adventure this series provides
where nature looms large, and the characters and plot are
well-developed. I loved having Vancouver and British Columbia as a
setting in this novel. The author makes readers feel like they are in
the forests or the gritty streets with Calista. I also loved learning
about Calista's family and their background in this installment. It
gave more depth to her character and made me feel much more connected
to her. And without providing any spoilers, I appreciate how some of
the storylines from the previous books were drawn together in this
one. I feel so invested in this series that I can't wait to see what
happens next. I can't recommend this one enough. If you have yet to
read it, you are definitely missing out on a good read full of drama,
adventure, mystery, and wonderful characters, all set in marvelous
Canadian scenery.
