with no memory of why…
Canyon Survival is only the second book that I've read by Connie Queen, and, while I did like first one a touch better, this one was a pretty good read as well. It had all of the elements that make up a true Love Inspired Suspense novel. Of course, that means starting out with an exciting scene fraught with peril and the enticing promise of mystery and intrigue to come.
Amnesia has been a bit overused in fiction but despite that it can still be done well – and Connie Queen does do it well. Annie's confusion and Riggs' suspicion are pretty believable. I also appreciated how her returning memory took time, with some bits and pieces nearly to the end of the book.
The highlight of Canyon Survival is, of course, Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle. After finishing the story I looked up the canyon and was surprised to find out that it is 120 miles long and up to 20 miles wide. Wow! No wonder Connie Queen chose to set her story there! Not only is it a dangerous environment but there's room in that canyon for some serious suspense angles!
One can never go wrong when choosing a Love Inspired Suspense. They are easy to carry around and short enough to finish in an afternoon. They also entertain with romantic suspense while still encouraging your own journey of faith. Canyon Survival lives up to that in every way and should be on your Love Inspired Suspense want-to-read list...Just be sure to grab a glass of water for the hot and dusty adventure...
