From Amazon.com

Hiding behind an expensive, black-market-created identity, Zoe Luce has built a successful interior design business in Whispering Springs, Arizona, and hopes that she has just as successfully buried her past. She can't ignore her unique psychic abilities, however, and when she walks into a new client's bedroom and hears the walls scream and moan, she knows something terrible has happened in the house. Did her client murder his wife? She's determined to find out, but investigating a possible murder is beyond her expertise, so Zoe turns to Ethan Truax, a private detective new to the small Arizona community. Solving the murder of the businessman's wife is a piece of cake for Ethan compared to the complicated enigma that he finds in Zoe. Mysterious nightmares haunt her and when a would-be blackmailer is found dead, Zoe's past inexorably collides with her new life, threatening their dreams of a future together.

Author Jayne Ann Krentz is at the top of her form in Light in Shadow, a nonstop roller coaster ride of thrills and chills. Romance, suspense, humor, and danger challenge an intriguing cast of characters and blend seamlessly in a plot that twists, turns, and surprises. --Lois Faye Dyer --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.



From Publishers Weekly

If Krentz's newest thriller doesn't send your pulse racing, dial your cardiologist's number. With more than 30 bestsellers under her belt, Krentz (Smoke in Mirrors; Uneasy Alliance) is primed for another roaring success with this rewarding romantic thriller. Zoe Luce is the premier interior decorator in Whispering Springs, Ariz., hampered by one severe handicap; when she enters a room in which a murder or other violent act has taken place, she can sense the pain and rage echoing from the walls. When her uncanny ability leads her to suspect that a local businessman has murdered his wife, she finds herself unexpectedly allied with Ethan Truax, Whispering Springs's newest private investigator. Both have suffered losses in the past, but just when it looks as if true love may be in the offing, Ethan discovers that Zoe is not who she pretends to be. She knows things she shouldn't, operates under a black market-issued identity and wakes screaming from nightmares about a mysterious place she calls Xanadu. Krentz's storytelling shines with authenticity and dramatic intensity: no opportunity for a thrill is missed, and her characters are skillfully crafted. Tightly written and packed with twists and shockers at every turn, this top-notch thriller keeps readers on the edge of their seats till the explosive ending.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Good Guilty Pleasure, Mars 26 2004
Par Elizabeth Hendry (New Jersey USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Light In Shadow (Paperback)
Jayne Ann Krenz's Light in Shadow is a wonderful guilty pleasure, a romantic thriller that is well-done and compelling. The story of Zoe Luce, an interior designer with a hidden past is light fun reading. I definitely will read Truth or Dare, the sequel to this novel. I am sure it will be as much fun to read as this one. Enjoy.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Pretty good, but something was missing, Nov. 8 2003
This review is from: Light In Shadow (Paperback)
Overall this is a good book, just not up to JAK standards. Zoe Luce is an interior designer who hears the walls scream. If something bad has happened in a room, for example a murder, she can strongly feel it. She's in Whispering Springs, Arizona hiding from her past. Ethan Truax is private investigator new in town. He's had 3 failed marriages, his older brother was murdered, and his business wasleft bankrupt. He recently arrived in Whispering Springs to be closer to his sister-in-law and nephews. His first client: Zoe. I would say sparks started to fly, only they didn't. In the first few chapters, I felt I missed something. After meeting each for the first time the reader is unaware of what they are thinking or feeling. Then it seems to jump to Zoe and Ethan having the hots for each other. This is unlike JAK's usual style. In addition, I think the ending rushed, leaving me feel that I had been left hanging. The killer was obivous, if a little out there.
Maybe the next book will be better.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Finally, a Krentz worthy of her reputation!, Oct. 17 2003
Par Marcia D. Hurlbutt "bartok" (Alexandria, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Light In Shadow (Paperback)
I loved it. I must admit, I'm a Krentz, Quick, Castle fan from the beginning and so I buy everything she writes. However, lately it's just been obligatory--gaining me a couple nights read with little else. This book broke the mold back to her very best. I started this book in the late evening and read it through until 3 in the morning--I haven't done that for a book in a long time.

I then gave it to my sister to read and she did the exact same thing. So, thanks a lot JA Krentz, for giving us a thoroughly exciting book, two wonderful characters that I absolutely adored, a book with not one slow moment, and a promise of a sequel with these same characters. I can't wait.
