Series background & context

These books are compact romantic suspense stories built around old crimes that refuse to stay in the past. The mood is a little darker than some of Mentink’s other connected series, because both novels begin with grief, guilt, and families still living with what was lost.

Hazardous Homecoming revolves around evidence tied to a little girl’s long-ago disappearance and the people whose lives were shaped by it. Secret Refuge picks up the thread of blame and responsibility from another angle, with a former parole officer determined to protect the family of the woman he could not save.

What links the pair is not a globe-spanning conspiracy or a flashy action concept. It is the simple fact that the past hurts, and when it comes back, it can become dangerous again. If you like suspense that stays personal and emotionally grounded, this two-book set is well worth reading in order.
