Nike Does It Again! PERILOUS SHADOWS

Nike Chillemi has emerged as one of my favorite new authors with the release of her debut 'Sanctuary Point' series of murder mysteries set in the 1940s. I finished reading book number three in the series called PERILOUS SHADOWS, and it definitely lives up to the other two. You can also see my reviews of the first two books here.

Before I get to the review itself, let me just say that these books are keepers. In other words, they are the kind of stories you may want to go back and read again. That's the mark of a really great read in my books!

PERILOUS SHADOWS - a review


Nike Chillemi has done it again in PERILOUS SHADOWS, the third book in her Sanctuary Point Series. This page turning ‘who-dunnit’ is another home-run for the self proclaimed ‘crime-fictionista’, with plenty of action, suspense, surprises, and quirky characters. The book follows the ‘leads’ of investigative reporter and broadcaster Argus Nye, whom we’ve met as an interesting, though minor, character in the first two installments of the series. This time, his talent for sniffing out a story is rivaled by an up and coming female colleague, Kiera Devane. When a body is found at the radio station where Argus works, he is assigned the story, but not before Kiera scoops him and writes her own story. The two decide to team up after some nasty run-ins with various suspects, and soon find that they are mutually interested in more than just the story. The series is set in the 1940s shortly after the end of World War Two, and the writer does a fantastic job keeping the setting, jargon, and over-all feel very authentic for the period. I’m loving this series, and was pleased to find out there is more to come. Stay tuned for more from this talented author.

  1. Any story set in the 1940s piques my interest. I think mysteries set in this period have more of the atmosphere that we come to expect of the genre.I'm putting this on my TBR list!
