Light in Shadow A Whispering Springs Novel Jayne Ann Krentz Books Reviews

Jane Ann Krentz is a great author and I love her books. She tells a great story. Can’t put them down.
I usually enjoy her books but this left me wanting more.....
Started off interesting then fizzled out. Not terrible but not amazing.
Could not put this book down. Then realised I had to sleep sometime. The characters are so vividly described, along with their surroundings, as well as - oh gosh read this book - enjoy it. Your brain will be replaying segment's of each chapter even while busy at work. Jayne Ann Krentz always delivers excellent reads and this one was no exception! 🙌
Thought I had read all of Jayne Ann Krentz's books, apparently I missed this one. This is light reading for me, but once in awhile I need the change of pace as my reading tastes have gotten grittier. Even though this is one of Ms. Krentz's earlier offerings I thoroughly enjoyed it. You all know the plot line and the characters so I do not need to rehash all that, just know I spent a very enjoyable rainy Sunday afternoon engrossed in this story.
Zoe Luce has gone to great lengths to appear as normal as possible. She changed her name and moved to Whispering Springs, AZ to make a fresh start and leave all who knew her behind. However, it is hard to appear normal when walls start screaming at her in her new client's bedroom. Zoe has always had sensitivity to rooms where great emotions were felt and she knows that something terrible happened in that room. She has a sinking suspicion that her new client killed his wife in that room. Zoe isn't sure what to do so she hires Ethan Truax, the new private investigator in town to find her client's wife, but Ethan is suspicious of Zoe and is determined to find out more about her.
Ethan knows that Zoe is not what she seems, especially after he finds her client's wife buried in the backyard, but he cannot seem to break through her shell - until Zoe gets a blackmail note. When Ethan finds out that Zoe was imprisoned in a mental hospital by her dead husband's family, he knows that he has to protect her. He is not sure why, but it is just something that he does. When his brother was murdered, he lost his career, his third wife, everything to bring his rich and powerful killers to justice - and it was worth it. Ethan, too, is starting over and he thinks that he has found the fresh start that he wants in Zoe. However, Zoe and Ethan are way too stubborn and afraid to share their hopes and dreams with each other. Will they admit their love before more lives are ruined?
I enjoyed this book more than I have enjoyed a Jayne Ann Krentz book in a while. I really felt that Krentz was making an effort to differentiate her characters from other books that she had written and not do the stereotypical quirky heroine with stoic, incommunicative hero. I really liked Zoe and found her to be quite normal (aside from the screaming walls thing) and Ethan was much more in tune with himself than most of the other heroes out there. My only complaint was that there were a lot of side plots going on in the book and Krentz didn't have time to follow up on all of them in a satisfactory fashion. I think that it would have been better for this book to have been split into two so that the characters and the plot could have been more developed. Still, if you enjoy Krentz, I think you will like this one and it is worth your time to check it out from the library or buy from a used bookstore.
JAK has been one of my favourite writers for nearly two decades. Even in her earliest works you see the diamond brilliance that has put her at the top. However, I was disappointed in some of her recent works. Then she came powering back with the marvellous "Summer in Eclipse Bay" and was SO perfect!! So when "Smoke and Mirrors" came...I went hum....so so but could have been better - much beter. Worse, was her Amanda Quick's "Don't Look Back" so dreadfully dull, that I wanted to howl. Swore I would stop buying her in hardback! And immediately turned around and could not resist buying "Light in Shadow". It just sounded so good....and it IS!!
JAK is back in top form providing a warm, humourous, loving mystery that I just could not put down!! It is billed as "A Whispering Springs Novel" so we can except two more I am presuming, and I shall be first in line for the sequels.
In this mystery, JAK gives us a Zoe Luce an interior decorator with a special touch she can "feel emotions" within a room. Currently, she is decorating a house for a new ex-husband, who claims he wants a redo after his wife left him. However, the instant Zoe steps into the bedroom and see the missing bed and shower curtains in the bathroom, she knows he killed his wife. What to do. Zoe cannot go to the police for two reasons.... She has to do something, so she finds the add for Ethan Truax, a private detective in the town. Sam Spade he is not. He is just coming off his bad third marriage, a failed business and rebuilding his life and career.
Truax does what Zoe hires him to do, find the missing wife - dead or alive - but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
It's typical JAK yeah, but its JAK at her best, so her fans will dance with job as another of her memorial gems!!
Bring on more Whispering Springs novel....Zoe and Ethan steal your heart!!
