You thought your little girl was safe at summer camp. You were wrong…
The little girl drags her eyes open, realizing she’s starting to fade. She tries calling out—“Daddy?”—using all her remaining strength. But she’s too late and her voice just isn’t loud enough…
When Detective Madison Harper arrives at a remote summer camp in Shadow Falls, northern California, her heart breaks for Jenny, the sweet little girl last seen splashing in the lake with her friends before she vanished. Peering into the silent cabins filled with rows of neatly made beds, Madison knows this idyllic place is hiding a terrible secret.
The girl’s parents are distraught, and the local police have no leads—they desperately need Madison’s help. She’ll do whatever it takes to crack this case, because it’s the only way back to the son she lost to the care system years ago when she was framed for a crime she didn’t commit.
But with the camp staff keeping tight-lipped and her new partner on the edge of a breakdown, Madison can’t find any truth to her instinct that there is more to Jenny’s perfect parents than meets the eye. Until she discovers a disturbing family portrait Jenny drew at the local library. Was this angelic girl more troubled than anybody knew? Was she in danger from those she trusted most?
One thing is certain, if Madison doesn't find the answers soon, the lives of more innocent children will be at risk…
An absolutely unputdownable crime thriller that will keep you up all night! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Melinda Leigh.

First, I want to thank Wendy Dranfield, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
WOW!!! Shadow Falls by Wendy Dranfield’s new series Detective Madison Harper is incredibly fascinating and needs to be put on your must read list. Every storyline was so intriguing that I couldn’t put it down.
Shadow Falls' cover is so picturesque! Kudos to the graphic designer who created this cover.
Immediately Wendy sucks you into the prologue with the shocking last few lines!
Wendy discusses a lot of important topics and has some triggers in this book. Such topics are pedifilia, murder, drugs, suicide etc.
Jennifer Lucas’s missing person case at the camp was one of my many storylines. To find out the truth what happened to her was eye opening! There were scenes that were intense, suspenseful, heartbreaking, shady events, etc. I would not send my nieces and nephews there.
Nathan’s story was a heartbreaking one and a little taboo. Wendy took us into the past to see what he went through to where he is today.
Madison and Nathan worked together as a great team trying to solve Jennifer’s case.
The climax at the end I honestly never saw coming! There were so many shocking revelations that were heartwrenching to read.
Wendy has made me an instant fan and I look forward to her next book in the series.
