Beyond a Doubt (Rock Harbor Series #2) » (Repackaged)

Nothing seems beyond a doubt when Bree opens a cold-case file with clues too close for comfort.

Arson. Theft. Murder. When Bree Nicholls discovers a corpse in her own basement, a whirlwind investigation ushers an unbidden danger to all she holds dear. Without safe haven in her lighthouse home--or in the arms of a new love--the young widow struggles to free her family from the tentacles of an age-old crime that strikes at the heart of Rock Harbor.

Beyond a Doubt is second in the acclaimed romantic suspense series from best-selling author Colleen Coble. Set in the untamed beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Rock Harbor novels deftly draw readers into the life and operation of a canine search-and-rescue team as they help unravel the secrets of an enchanting wilderness.

Library Journal

Bree Nichols is trying to put her life back together after losing her husband in a plane crash and being separated from her young son, Davy, for a year. Her life becomes more complicated, though, when she finds human skeletal remains in her basement. The decades-old mystery takes center stage as Bree tries to understand her romantic feelings for forest ranger Kade Matthews. At the same time, Kade's teenage sister, Lauri, and her boyfriend, Brian, get into trouble by breaking into off-season cabins, where Brian meets regularly with a mysterious man to discuss shady business deals. When Lauri finds a trunk filled with memorabilia about Bree and her family, she worries that someone is trying to hurt them. This follow-up to Without a Trace is a competent mystery with likable characters and a small-town setting that will appeal to fans of Dee Henderson's "O'Malley" series and Terri Blackstock's "Newpointe 911" series.
