Really good read
I have read books by Loreth Anne White before and loved every single one. This one is another thriller plus romance and equally good. Kept me on the edge of the seat guessing and I could not get away until I have finished it. Well written and I can't wait to read the next one!

A great book to settle down with.
Meg Brogan is a true-crime writer but her new book will be the ultimate challenge for her. 22 years ago her sister was murdered and Meg’s memory of that time is very patchy. So she returns to the coastal town of Shelter Bay to research her book and hopefully recover her memories and solve the mystery of who killed her sister.In the Waning Light is a mystery with some romance woven into the plot. I liked how this novel explored how people deal with grief and how it is different for everyone. I liked how the field of recovering lost memories was used and how our brains can hide hurtful memories yet random things can trigger them off. I liked how a pet dog was woven into this story. I loved the steady character development and the developing romance between Meg Brogan and Blake Sutton.I enjoyed reading In the Waning Light and the scene describing the murder of her sister Sherry was very dramatic. Once read, you will not forget the scene as it leaves a very powerful image in your mind.Although the plot is not outstanding, I found this book to be a GOOD read. Her writing quality is top rate with an extensive vocabulary and a great attention to detail. The romance woven into the plot gives the reader a huge empathy for Meg Brogan and you just wish her well in the budding relationship she is forming with Blake Sutton. In the Waning Light is a great book to settle down with and it gets 4 stars from me.

Most excellent, twisty turny & well written!
This writer makes and keeps reading a fantastic pastime! I find her books well planned and written with a surprise finish that is worth the wait.Characters are easily imagined, allowing the reader (moi) to develop a relationship with them... Good or bad. They're also given a backstory which shapes who they are and why they are the way that they are!And, I can easily find myself shivering in the cold weather and conversely, I'm gently warmed by the crackling fire as these are written into the story. I can even taste the salt, blowing in off the sea!This far, I've read 2 or 3 of her books and keep coming back for more. The bonus audio option is fantastic too.

Very similar to beneath devils bridge
I enjoyed the book, but had just finished Beneath Devils bridge and I felt the story had very similar characters and plot.

A great novel.
Having just read another of Loreth's books I was keen to read more. I loved this book but also for angry. Sometimes after reading and getting to know the characters, they act in a way that you think is not how they would have behaved. I got that a bit with the main character. However it didn't deviate away from the telling of a wonderful story. The description of the countryside and the beaches took me away to another place. Loved it Loreth, a real mix up of emotions. I think some of it related to my own childhood, which made your story come alive. And who doesn't like a happy ending? Or is it?

Loved this well-written novel with fantastic characters
I absolutely loved this book. A fantastic crime novel with well drawn and developed characters. It follows Meg, a true crime author, whose sister was horrifically murdered when she was a kid. Meg witnessed the crime but can't remember much about that day. While appearing on a chat show Meg is asked about her sister's murder. Deciding that she needs closure she heads home to investigate her own true crime.Loreth Anne White was a new author to me, but I'm excited to read her other books. I loved how evocative her descriptions were, loved the characters, which seemed like real people, and loved the relationships between the characters. Absolutely brilliant book.
