Shadow and Light by Carol Halik Koris

If Maggie wouldn't have been in her dark room, could she have prevented the accident that took her daughter's life?

Maggie is a photographer and in deep depression since her daughter's death which she blames on herself.

To cope with her loss, she goes to rest stops on the Florida Turnpike and takes photos of families.

A photo she had taken one day could be something that may help or hinder a family whose daughter was kidnapped.  Could this really be the same girl? No one believes her.

Maggie had an obsession about the girl who had been kidnapped and insisted that it was her and that she needed to help find her.  

Ms. Koris's writing is pull-you-in and enjoyable even though the book's content is heartbreaking.  You can feel Maggie’s gut wrenching pain as she grieves.  You can also feel her husband’s frustration as he tries to help her cope.

Along with the grief we have a mystery to solve and another decision for Maggie to make.  Whose story should she believe about the kidnapping? 

SHADOW AND LIGHT is very well written with a high level of interest because of the subject matter and the author's writing style.

SHADOW AND LIGHT has an excellent twist that took the theme from domestic problems and loss to suspense.

It is an excellent book for those who enjoy mystery and those who enjoy twists and turns.

You will need some tissues for the tender and sad moments that happen. 5/5

This book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.
