Review: Portrait of Vengeance

Portrait of Vengeance Portrait of Vengeance by Carrie Stuart Parks
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Of this entire series, I think I enjoyed the mystery in book two and four the most.

The mystery in portrait of vengeance kept me intrigued and with twists at the right moment, kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat.

Gwen was a character who had to grow on me. But I enjoyed her honesty and how real she felt.

The author has a way of writing scenes what made me feel I was right there with the characters, feeling the scratches or cold right there along with them.

About the book:


An unsolved case. A tempest of memories. The future’s at stake—and time is running out . . .

Gwen Marcey has done a good job of keeping the pain of her past boxed up. But as she investigates the case of a missing child in Lapwai, Idaho, details keep surfacing that are eerily similar to her childhood traumas. She doesn’t believe in coincidences. So what’s going on here?

No one knows more about the impact of the past than the Nez Perce people of Lapwai. Gwen finds herself an unwelcome visitor to some, making her investigation even more difficult. The questions keep piling up, but answers are slow in coming—and the clock is ticking for a missing little girl. Meanwhile, her ex-husband back home is threatening to take sole custody of their daughter.

As Gwen’s past and present collide, she’s in a desperate race for the truth. Because only truth will ensure she still has a future.
