Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot comes the first novella in the thrilling Widow’s Island series.
FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde is back home on a remote Pacific Northwest island when she gets the call: a teenager’s skeletal remains have been found on a nearby island.
Together with Tessa Black, a childhood friend turned local deputy, Cate confronts dreary weather and bleak leads to make sense of the death. The complications pile up as Cate is distracted by the coroner on the case - and by nagging memories that draw her twenty years into the past. The remains suggest eerie similarities between this victim, and Cate and Tessa’s friend Samantha, who disappeared when she was fourteen.
Cate finds herself up against closemouthed locals, buried town secrets, and even her own heart. As the case unravels, will she be able to cut through the fog and find justice for the missing and the dead?

A great start to this thriller series.
I raced through this one in a day. It’s only a few hours so an easy task.
Even though this is a novella, it still had all the elements needed to create a well-rounded story while introducing us to a new world and characters.
It is set on WIDOW’S ISLAND and starts with the discovery of bones. We see the new local doctor, Henry, step up as coroner, and Cate who’s on medical leave from the FBI steps in as lead investigator due to the ferry to the mainland being out of action and her back on the island for some R&R.
Christine does a great job with the narration. Bringing life to this whodunnit. I thought all the characters played their part and enjoyed it enough to get started on the second book straight away.
