Beneath a Foggy Sky

Beneath a Foggy Sky was a captivating read that kept me guessing until the very end. The mystery of the disappearances in Port Blossom was compelling, though some clues felt a little too conveniently placed at times. Mandy Jean Jordaan's prose perfectly captured the atmospheric tension of the foggy coastal town. Detective Evelyn Reed was a complex protagonist, and her slow-burn attraction to Liam Vance felt earned. The blend of crime and romance was well-executed, making for a truly engaging story. I really appreciated the author's ability to build suspense and keep the stakes high throughout. The dual perspectives allowed for a deeper understanding of both Evelyn and Liam's internal struggles. While the ending was satisfying, I wished for a bit more depth in the resolution of Liam's past. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to fans of atmospheric romantic suspense. It's the kind of book that stays with you long after you've turned the final page.
