Delaney and Leo are back! I was so excited to receive an arc of this from Netgalley! I've been hooked on this series since the beginning and this one did not disappoint!
When a young girl's body is found covered in bruises and a strange tattoo Delaney and Leo are brought on the case. From the beginning we're brought along this journey trying to piece together this mystery and figure out why some young girls are goingmissing.

In addition to the intriguing mystery- that keeps us on our toes and guessing until the end - we get to see the more personal and intimate side of the two main leads. Something is brewing between Delaney and Leo and there's a constant push and pull to their relationship! It's a continuous slow burn and I can't wait to see what happens in the end!
I also loved seeing Delaney in her mother role to her adoptive daughters. She struggles sometimes to fins a balance but it's clear there's a lot of love between the three!

Loved it! Can't wait for what happens next!

I am really enjoying this series featuring Delaney Pace and Leo her partner. The characterisation is developing nicely, although too slow for me! The pacing is steady, the dual timeline felt a bit out of sync but I really love the Montana setting and the book is well written with plenty twists and suspense. The ending leads nicely into the next book and it is a series I would recommend to thriller lovers. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

I am wowed yet again by Pamela Fagan Hutchin's storytelling and her Detective Delaney Pace series! Her Forgotten Shadow kept me on my toes, with my pulse racing, fearing the worst while hoping for the best as Delaney searches for a missing girl while trying to catch a killer. Whew! There is never a dull moment in this gripping and shocking book!

A storm is brewing above the town of Kearny and when a young teenager’s body is found covered in bruises and with a strange tattoo, Delaney is left scratching her head while wanting to dive into the investigation while tiptoeing around other officers. From the start, she knows this is not going to be an easy case, but she is strong, brave, determined and ready to dive in. With Leo helping, she hopes to solve the case ASAP!

I enjoyed the mystery in this case. I was fully invested in learning who and why young teenage girls are being taken. I also enjoyed seeing Delaney in mother mode as she balancing her work and personal life.

I loved the atmosphere of this book. I love the location, and how the elements played a part in this book as well. I also loved the tension between the characters in both their professional and private lives. The sense of dread and danger creep into the book and simmer just below the surface of the book.

Her Forgotten Shadow kept me on my toes and had me turning the pages! Plus, then the ending has me wanting more! I can't wait to see what is going to happen next!

Wonderfully written, well plotted, perfectly paced, shocking and gripping, Pamela Fagan Hutchins has delivered yet again!

This was another great book by Hutchins. I really enjoyed the continuation of Delaney's story and all the returning characters. Hutchins weaves an interesting storyline and as usual, the end usually has a twist where it is hard to figure out how it's going to end. At the end, there was a nice small personal piece that was left hanging until the next book, but the plot of this book did come to a conclusion. I enjoy that the books are in a series and are connected, but there is a wrap up at the end of each one.
Another great book and looking forward to the next one!

Detective Delaney Pace has a full life between raising two adopted daughters and being a very gifted Sheriff's detective. Thankfully, she has the help of Skeeter, an older man who doesn't seem like the type to be a babysitter. The one complication is that she has romantic feelings for her boss. When a mudslide reveals the body of a young woman who disappeared years ago, Delaney and the Sheriff are called to seen. The post-mortem reveals that the young woman was the victim of horrific abuse for years. Another young woman, also of Crow descent, disappears and is found dead in the wilderness with similar wounds. Delaney and her team are searching for a sick person who kidnaps girls and subjects them to abuse. When one more disappears, the race is on to find the suspect and save the girl's life. The deeper they dig, though, the more complicated the case becomes. Even Skeeter seems to be connected somehow. Will Delaney solve the case in time? Will she ever give romance a chance?

Pamela did a great job with this one. I absolutely love this book/series!! It kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was taking all the teenage girls.
Delaney is such a strong character and I love her! Will she be able to help all the missing girls in time? You must read on to see if her and Leo can help find the person behind it all.
Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in return for my honest review.

Any mystery story that I cannot figure out is a winner. This one will keep you guessing until the very end. Delaney and Leo are called in to figure out what happened when a girl is found dead after a mud slide. It is clear that she was held captive and that the original investigation wasn't done well. She is trying to not step on toes while balancing out finding out the truth when another girl goes missing. This hits home for Delaney as she is struggling to balance motherhood and the job. Making matters worse is that her friend and help Skeeter is acting suspicious. There are plenty of twists and turns with the story and the author nicely sets up the next book in the series.

Absolutely fantastic, unputdownable… Kept me on the edge of my seat and then on the edge of my bed until late at night as I just could not put it down!!!… Perfect

I love all of Pamela Fagin Hutchins' books but really love Delaney Pace. I couldn't put the book down. Her Forgotten Shadow is hands down one of her best books, but I think I say that about all of them. 😁 This is a book that you never want to end. I felt gutted at the ending and was really hoping it was going to end happier, because Delaney needs some love in her life. Here's to hoping #5 gives her happiness and love with Leo.

Thank you to NetGalley and Pamela Fagin Hutchins for letting me read and review an ARC of Her Forgotten Shadow.

I've read all of this series so far and I have to say they have all been great reads. Saying that, this could probably be read as a standalone book too since Delaney investigates different cases each time and each book has some background in it. In this one girls are going missing so she also has the worry about her family (including her babysitter). The main characters are likeable and the plot has enough twists to keep you wondering. One of my 'i'll give book one a try' series which has resulted in me being impatient for the next one each time!

I am enjoying the Delaney Pace series and this edition hit the mark. Plenty of backstory to keep you reading. Premise was very good with many a red herring to keep you guessing. Look forward to the next offering. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

Delaney Pace, and her boss, Sheriff Leo Palmer are on the hunt for someone who is kidnapping teenage girls. The first one turned up after several years missing, dead at the bottom of a ravine. Then a second girl goes missing, only to wind up dead. When a third disappears, they know time is running out if they hope to find her alive.

But there are secrets hiding, and more than one will come to light during this time.

Get ready for some twists and turns that will leave you gasping for more.

With a very interesting setting and fantastic characters, this book has a base for suspense, mystery and a little humor and romance. Very well written and excellent entertainment.

Her Forgotten Shadow, the highly anticipated 4th book in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Detective Delaney Pace series, is as awesome as the first three books and just as heart wrenching. Now that Delaney has teenagers living with her, she is even more torn by the idea of a girl or young woman being abused, and this book takes us there. She and Leo perform a balancing act between the sheriff's office and the police when two cases appear to overlap. In one case, the police department blew the investigation and someone who matters to Delaney was part of that. The situation makes the chief of police even more sensitive to the lines between the department at a time when they most need to work together. The ever-growing list of suspects who all look really guilty really makes the job tough. Only the team's never-ending efforts to seek out every clue give young girls who have disappeared even a tiny chance of recovery. The only negative was the flashbacks that didn't seem to advance the plot, but the rest of the book is so good that I can live with them.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read and review and ARC of Her Forgotten Shadow.

Her Forgotten Shadow (Detective Delaney Pace Book 4): A completely gripping and unputdownable crime thriller by Pamela Fagan Hutchins.

I have read the other books in this series and like this character and her team. Her Forgotten Shadow is a good addition to this crime thriller series. However, sometimes the story felt disjointed, and the alternative timeline was cumbersome.

I am a fan of this series and this author. I would recommend this book and would suggest reading this series from book 1. Her Forgotten Shadow is a good addition to this series.

Once again, Delaney and Leo are on the hunt for some unsavoury types having found their way to their hometown. 

I love the way Delaney is devoted to her daughters and her job, but it seems like she often forgets she has the right to have a life too. Will the voice of her heart shout louder this time than her brain's? 

Delaney is a force to be reckoned with. What she lacks in muscle when she has to fight a man, she gains on a different level: she can always rely on her technique. Sometimes she bides her time, luring her opponent into a false sense of security before taking the upper hand. 

I cannot wait to read the next part, because it already sounds very intriguing and promising. 5 stars

Thank you

I’m a huge fan of this series. Disney Pace is such a great bad a$$ character. This book was not only dark and disturbing but I kept waiting for the one storyline to rear its ugly head but it really didn’t. Plus the other storyline that I truly need to happen is driving me bananas. 🤣

That being said it was cool to see Delaney in action again. #teamleo

Delaney and Leo are back! A young woman is found dead and turns out to be a missing person from years ago. Delaney won’t stop until she solves it. Plus has her girls to deal with and now something weird is up with Skeeter. Not to mention her avoiding her feelings for Leo. I found myself turning pages as fast as I could. This is one of my favorite new series. Can’t get enough of these characters. Looking forward to what’s next. #LeoForSheriff
