Holly Martin must find a dangerous sexual offender before he strikes again.
Corporal Holly Martin’s small RCMP detachment on Vancouver Island is rocked by a midnight attack on a woman camping alone at picturesque French Beach. Then Holly’s constable, Chipper Knox Singh, is accused of sexually assaulting a girl during a routine traffic stop and is removed from active duty. At another beach a girl is killed. An assailant is operating unseen in these dark, forested locations.
The case breaks open when a third young woman is raped in daylight and gives a precise description of the assailant. Public outrage and harsh criticism of local law enforcement augment tensions in the frightened community, but as a mere corporal, Holly is kept on the periphery. She must assemble her own clues.
This third outing in the Corporal Holly Martin series had me riveted right from the beginning. * Mystery Maven *
Readers who are interested in dense local detail along with their mystery plots will find plenty to interest in Twilight Is Not Good for Maidens. * CriminalElement.com *
Lou Allin is the go-to writer for no-nonsense, well-told stories with tightly knit dialogue, energetic action that pushes the story through a maze of clues to a satisfying conclusion.
With deftly interwoven references to literary figures . . . and insight into the protagonist’s family, fans will enjoy this taut thriller.
This mystery novel is well written and keeps you opening the book to read just a little more while you can. The descriptions of familiar places in the Sooke area is a treat and Allin captures much of the community and the characters in it, keeping it strangely personal. * The Sooke News Mirror *
