My Review - Silence in the Dark


SILENCE IN THE DARK is fast paced suspense at its best

Bailey Adams has been serving as a missionary/teacher in Mexico. She’s convinced God called her there, and it made for the perfect escape from Danny Maxwell, her ex-fiancée. While there, Bailey has seen firsthand the corruption and fear the drug cartels have brought to the people. She’s committed to making a difference, but first, she has offered to escort, Maria, one of her students, to the U.S. in order for the child to see her ailing grandfather. Before Bailey even knows what’s happening, she and Maria are caught in a shootout, and escape a kidnapping attempt. With nowhere to turn, Bailey is shocked when her help comes from Danny. She’s thankful he’s there, but revisiting their failed engagement is not what she wants to do. At the moment, she just wants to get Maria to safety and figure out if it’s her or Maria the kidnappers are after.

Danny has never stopped loving Bailey. So, when he see her in Mexico, all his old feelings for her resurface. Not understanding why Bailey is with a business associate of his, Danny has little time to ponder it before Bailey disappears. Finding Bailey and getting her to Logan’s Point is Danny’s number one priority, but his heart’s desire is that they would get a second chance at love. When it’s clear both Bailey and Maria are in trouble, Danny is determined to find out who is after them. As the list of suspects grow, and the possibility that even their friends and associates could be working against them, Danny and Bailey realize time is running out.

I thoroughly enjoyed SILENCE IN THE DARK. Patricia Bradley knows how to write suspense with just the right amount of romance. The characters have such charm. Bailey is kind and strong, but struggles with forgiving herself because of a tragedy in her past. Danny is the consummate hero who handed his heart to Bailey long ago and will do anything to protect her. A long list of secondary characters round out the story and makes you wonder who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. SILENCE IN THE DARK is a great addition to the Logan Point series.
