Publisher Description
One tenacious local detective can only get the help he needs from a former forensic photographer with a serial killer on the loose in the new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.
When former forensic photographer Miranda Rhoads moves to the seaside town of Lost Beach, she's decided to make her living as a wildlife photographer and put crime scenes behind her. But her plans are quickly upended when one morning, she comes across a couple sleeping in a canoe, entwined in an embrace. Looking closer, she realizes the man and woman aren't asleep—they’ve been murdered.
Detective Joel Breda sets out to find answers--not only about the unidentified victims in the marshy death scene, but also about the aloof and beautiful photographer who seems to know more about his investigation than he does.
As they begin to unravel the motivation of a merciless serial killer, Miranda and Joel must race against the clock to make an arrest before the killer can find them first.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Griffin's standalone second Texas Murder Files romance (after Hidden) pairs a thrilling suspense plot with a believable love story. Recognizing the need to de-stress after a case goes awry, forensic photographer Miranda Rhoads moves to coastal Lost Beach, Tex., to capture the native birds for the Texas Birding Association's upcoming calendar. While on the job, she stumbles across two dead bodies and her past training compels her to take comprehensive photos of the crime scene before vital evidence—including the exotic feather clutched in one victim's hand—is lost in an approaching storm. Impressed by her work, Det. Joel Breda tries to hire her to the Lost Beach Police Department. Miranda is reluctant to reenter the field, but given her experience and natural instincts, she finds she can't stay away from the case for long—particularly as it becomes clear that the deaths were the work of a serial killer. Griffin takes care to develop a satisfying and complex mystery without sacrificing time for Joel and Miranda to build trust and chemistry as their partnership moves from professional to personal. Series fans will not be disappointed.

A good story, interesting characters and location. Not as good as Laura Griffen’s first book in this series which was excellent ( Hidden). Still a good read.
Very suspenseful.
I loved the characters. The author’s description of the area helped me picture the area, so much so, I could feel the humidity. I also liked the way the author developed the romantic relationship of Joel and Miranda. I liked that this wasn’t a typical romance format. Great read! Can’t wait to read another one.
