In today’s world, law enforcement agencies across the country rely on forensic tools, DNA testing, and crime labs. But what if that technology was suddenly no longer available? No one in the small, west Texas town of Shadow Ridge knows what took down the power grid, or when it’s going to be back up, but everyone knows exactly where they were the moment it went down. And now, with no electricity, no internet, and no modern technology, the men and women responsible for keeping the town safe are going to have to learn how to fight crime all over again.

When one of the men in charge of storing food for the town of Shadow Ridge is found murdered execution style, it’s up to Jace McQuaid to find the killer. What he discovers is a group of organized raiders who are stealing supplies and selling them on the black market—and the survival of the town depends on stopping them.

Morgan Addison’s estranged brother, Ricky, shows up at her house demanding weapons and confirming her fears that he’s a part of the outlaws. Tensions are raised further when Ricky kidnaps her son to ensure his safe passage out of town. Jace must find a way to save Noah and ensure the survival of Shadow Ridge.

Something catastrophic has happened and the world is plunged into the dark; the electric grid is down. Modern life grinds to a halt, and the people of Shadow Ridge struggle to survive, rationing food and medicine and learning how to live off the land like their ancestors once did. 

Cut off from the world, life goes on. Jace McQuaid, who was in town for his parent’s anniversary, and his brother pick up the reins of law enforcement and attempt to keep their town safe. But a violent death rocks their little community and he must track a killer using only his own ingenuity. Meanwhile, Jace has got a thing for Morgan Addison, a widow with an endearing child but she is keeping him at arm’s length. When her no good brother-in-law returns to town, Jace must act fast to save their lives. 

I found the premise for this mystery thriller intriguing; life after some type of disaster turns back the clock on daily life. The author presents a satisfying picture of what that life might look like. Struggles, cooperation and of course division. At the heart of the story is a murder mystery and Jace must track the killer without modern technology, they have only a few radios that they charge using solar power and little else. Jace’s sister is a doctor with a dwindling supply of medicine. She works with others to create native medicine to treat infections and other ailments. And of course, there is the slow building romance between Jace and Morgan.  

The book is well-written with a clean narrative. There is an overlay of christian values. I enjoyed this book which is the first in a series, and I look forward to reading more about Shadow Ridge and its inhabitants. Recommend to readers who enjoy clean fiction, mystery thrillers, and slow burn romance. 

 I rate this book 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐stars

What would you miss most if the grid went down? While not as essential as toilet paper or air-conditioning during a Texas summer, I think the McQuaid heroines from this series would love a bit of self-care—and so would I. – Author Lisa Harris
