About The Author
My Review
This is a gripping, twist-filled romantic suspense that perfectly captures what fans love about Debra Webb’s Colby Agency series. Leah Gerard’s night takes a horrifying turn when her long-awaited date ends in tragedy—she witnesses his body being dragged away, only for the police to doubt her story. With her own name quickly climbing the suspect list and her roommate suddenly missing, Leah turns to Owen Walker, a determined private investigator from the Colby Agency, to uncover the truth.
Though this is the fourth book in the series, it works seamlessly as a standalone, with each story centering on a different agent and case. Webb balances danger, mystery, and simmering attraction with her signature restraint—no unnecessary foul language or explicit content, making it an ideal pick for readers who prefer clean yet emotionally charged thrillers. The chemistry between Leah and Owen builds naturally amid the suspense, while the plot’s sharp twists keep readers hooked to the end.
A compelling, heart-pounding read that combines mystery, romance, and moral strength—this is classic Debra Webb at her best.
