One of my favourite authors and favourite romantic thriller series, I was very excited to receive a copy of this novel to review. I know when I pick up a Parry thriller I'll get a setting that comes to life, characters that are emotionally troubled but very resilient, romance that is slow-building and ignites in the face of danger, intrigue and mystery, and a plot that leaves you guessing the outcome until the very end. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Thanks Bronwyn! I read it in about two days and found myself thinking about the characters in those moments when I reluctantly had to put the book down.Sunset Shadows follows on (and overlaps) where Storm Clouds (book #2 in Goodabri sereis) left off. I think it's great that Bronwyn continues to showcase the characters from former books without interfering with the development of the characters Tess and Steve who are the focus of this novel. They are both police officers, but the plot crosses back into the territory of the National Park that was introduced in the former two books in the series. A great read, highly recommend it!
