Synopsis
Paramedic Zoe Chambers is used to saving lives, but when she stops a man from running into a raging inferno in a futile attempt to rescue his wife, Zoe finds herself drawn to him, and even more so to his ten-year-old daughter. She invites them both to live at the farm while the grieving widower picks up the pieces of his life.
Paramedic Zoe Chambers is used to saving lives, but when she stops a man from running into a raging inferno in a futile attempt to rescue his wife, Zoe finds herself drawn to him, and even more so to his ten-year-old daughter. She invites them both to live at the farm while the grieving widower picks up the pieces of his life.
Vance Township Police Chief Pete Adams, of course, is not happy with this setup, especially when he finds evidence implicating Zoe’s new houseguest in murder times two. When Zoe ignores Pete’s dire warnings, she runs the very real chance of burning one too many bridges, losing everything—and everyone—she holds dear.
My Review
This cozy mystery is full of suspense and twists, is really engaging and compelling, it is impossible to put it down before it finished.It's the third book in the series "A Zoe Chambers Mystery" but can be read as a stand-alone: I have not read the above and I had no difficulty understanding this story.
It sets in a small rural town of Pennsylvania, Zoe Chambers lives in the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Kroll who runs in expectation of their healing. Zoe is a paramedic and is a long time friend of Pete, the local police chief and now have started to go out together. Zoe rescues during a fire a man, Holt Farabee. Unfortunately, in the fire of their home his wife died, their little girl was saved because she was at a friend's school. Zoe is very fond of the child and also of the father but Pete tries to warn her because the fire may be arson.
The story is told in the third person alternating point of view of the two protagonists Zoe and Pete. They are two very responsible, with a strong sense of duty but also funny and ironic.They're trying to build a relationship but they are both too busy with work.
I recommend it to those who love the cozy mystery
I received a copy of this from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for honest review.
