An Amazon Charts bestseller.
The Amazon Charts bestselling author of Last Day delivers a haunting thriller about how far one wife is willing to go to expose the truth—and the lengths someone will go to stop her.
After artist Claire Beaudry Chase is attacked and left for dead in her home on the Connecticut coast, she doesn’t know who she can trust. But her well-connected husband, Griffin—who is running for governor—is her prime suspect.
Just before the attack, Claire was preparing for an exhibit of her shadow boxes, one of which clearly accuses Griffin of a violent crime committed twenty-five years ago. If the public were to find out who her husband is, his political career would be over. Claire’s certain her husband and his powerful supporters would kill her to stop the truth from getting out.
When one of Claire’s acquaintances is murdered, the authorities suspect the homicide is linked to the attack on Claire. As the dual investigations unfold, Claire must decide how much she’s willing to lose to take down her husband and the corrupt group of elites who will do anything to protect Griffin’s interests and their own.

I enjoyed this thriller focused on abuse of power and domestic abuse, mainly because of the strong female lead who fought for her life.
Claire is a strong woman who fights for survival against an abusive, power-hungry husband. She’s willing to risk her life to expose Griffin’s dark past even after he tries to kill her. This isn’t a spoiler. She knows who her attacker is right from the start. The suspense is how she goes about taking him down.
Conor is a detective trying to find the truth. He has to overcome obstacles from powerful people protecting the guilty. He was a typical good-guy cop. Would have liked to see at least one flaw.
I was rooting for Claire, and most of the plot twists kept me guessing until the end. The shifts in time from different POV characters was a little confusing at first, but I got through it. The subject matter seems torn from the news headlines of corrupt rich white people, domestic violence, and environmental issues, but the story kept my interest anyway. The Connecticut coastal setting was a compelling character of its own, and the bit of the mystical entwined in the tale was interesting. I liked Claire, but she made some stupid decisions. She weds a guy she has some reservations about, and she leaves a guy who treats her well. She does make up for this, but it’s almost too late for her. I realize this wasn’t a romance, but I would have liked to see something spark between Claire and Conor at the end. I also hoped that it wasn’t Griffin who tried to kill her. There were other suspects that could have done it, and it might have made the story more interesting. It’s not a groundbreaking story but a nice diversion, and I do like the author’s smooth, engaging writing style.

Quick read. Very good. A lot of good background information. Kept you organized as to not get lost. Somewhat cheesy ending.

More like a 3.5.
This was a decent read. It took a long while for it to get going, but when it finally did, it was pretty good. I always enjoy corruption-type storylines, and this proved to be a deep one. The ending was worth the slow start.
Listened to as an audiobook.

This story grabbed my attention from the first paragraph and didn’t let go. It was suspenseful and fast-paced. I loved the strength of the main character, and found many of the supporting characters interesting and likeable. (Or, in the case of the bad guys, fun to hate.) The time-changes, from present to past, added to the story’s excitement, as the tension and mystery continued to build. I read until 3:00 am as I couldn’t put it down. I have a new favourite author in Luanne Rice. Fans of the mystery/crime fiction genre, will definitely enjoy The Shadow Box.

I really enjoyed this book. The story line was weaved well. Nice to see justice for victims. There was a nice spin but nothing extremely surprising. You could see the ones who were involved were expected.

This book marinates thrilling mystery with an interesting mix of characters. It is the kind of book that keeps the reader saying “just one more chapter” until they realize they’ve been up all night reading it.
Veronica –
It was a captivating book. Easy to follow and sort through. It provided several characters to like or to hate.

I love, love, love the way this author writes! She pulls you in and reveals the characters’ personalities so you fall in love with them or hate them. There are lots of twists and turns to make it to the almost happy ending.
