Shadow of Death

Protective Detective #3

by Yolonda Tonette Sanders

The third in the new detective series that started with Wages of Sin and Day of Atonement, this thrilling page-turner explores what happens when homicide detective Troy Evans is framed for the murder of his ex—and the secrets that got him there.

A devoted husband, father, and detective, Troy will do anything to protect his family…including kill. In a fit of rage, he threatens the life of an ex-girlfriend when she attempts to cause trouble in his marriage. Little does Troy know, his words are caught on tape and will eventually come back to haunt him.

When Troy’s ex mysteriously disappears, he is convinced that she staged her disappearance to get back at him for his rejection, and his assessment seems plausible—until her body is discovered. Soon, Troy becomes the prime suspect in the murder investigation. And as secrets of the past begin to surface, they threaten to destroy more than his reputation; his marriage is at risk too, and ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.

Now on the opposite side of the law, Troy works diligently to find out who has gone to such great lengths to set him up. With a cloud of suspicion hanging over his head, Troy must prove that he’s neither a cheater nor a murderer. If he fails, he could permanently lose his badge, his freedom, and his family.

Detective Troy Evans has returned in this third installment of Yolanda Tonette Sanders’ Protective Detective series. This time around the case he has to solve involves the protective detective himself. He’s been framed for the murder of his ex. With his career, life, and marriage on the line, Troy will stop at nothing to clear his name. But can he do so before it’s too late?

Yolanda Tonette Sanders continues to deliver emotional and character-driven suspense stories that will resonate with readers. She has penned a series worth reading. I certainly hope she continues on with it.

WELL WRITTEN

At first i thought this book started off too slow im comparison to the other two in the series. But as I continued to read, I could not put it down. The twists and turns had me literally yelling out OMG!!! I pray this is not the end of the series.

First I would like to state that I received this book through the Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity and honor in being able to read this book. When I received this book I began reading it at once. I really enjoy the authors writing style. You are pulled into the book from the very beginning and you don't want to put the book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat reading from cover to cover. To me you don’t have to have read the others to be able to read and enjoy this book. All the characters are very well portrayed thought out. The author makes you feel as if this is all happening to you or at least someone very close to you. There are some great twist and turns in the story too that the author has tossed into the story to keep you on your toes wondering who the killer truly might be. When you are finished you wish you weren't. This is a most wonderful read and I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys a good read should read this book. This is a book that I will be sure to read over and over and a must for anyone's library.
