In the Waning Light by Loreth Anne White.

Meg Brogan is a true-crime writer but her new book will be the ultimate challenge for her. 22 years ago her sister was murdered and Meg’s memory of that time is very patchy. So she returns to the coastal town of Shelter Bay to research her book and hopefully recover her memories and solve the mystery of who killed her sister.


In the Waning Light is a mystery with some romance woven into the plot. I liked how this novel explored how people deal with grief and how it is different for everyone. I liked how the field of recovering lost memories was used and how our brains can hide hurtful memories yet random things can trigger them off. I liked how a pet dog was woven into this story. I loved the steady character development and the developing romance between Meg Brogan and Blake Sutton.


I enjoyed reading In the Waning Light and the scene describing the murder of her sister Sherry was very dramatic. Once read, you will not forget the scene as it leaves a very powerful image in your mind.


Although the plot is not outstanding, I found this book to be a GOOD read. Her writing quality is top rate with an extensive vocabulary and a great attention to detail. The romance woven into the plot gives the reader a huge empathy for Meg Brogan and you just wish her well in the budding relationship she is forming with Blake Sutton. In the Waning Light is a great book to settle down with and it gets 4 stars from me.

In the Warning Light was published in 2015 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
