Evidence of Innocence by Shirlee McCoy is a fast-paced, action-packed suspense.
Kinsley Garrett has been working very hard getting her grandparents’ friend’s bakery in shape to sell. Doris Green owns Flour and Fancies Baked Goods. Working in Frenchtown, Montana with Doris has been a wonderful change in Kinsley’s life. A major change. Her father was shot and killed when Kinsley was a teenager. It was Kinsley who found her murdered father when she returned home after sneaking out to go to a party.
Being known for her wild ways as a young teen led to the belief that she murdered her father. After fifteen years in prison she was exonerated. Thanks mainly to the efforts of her now deceased grandparents and Doris. Her main goal in life at this point is to get justice for her father. It now seems she is getting close to the truth. Her life is in danger. Frenchtown Police Chief Marcus Bane is on the case. Kinsley connects with Marcus. Are they just friends or will they be more than friends?
Marcus Bane is the chief of police in Frenchtown. He is called to the scene of a kidnapping attempt. The intended victim, Kinsley Garrett seems vulnerable and Marcus feels compelled to be there for her. He also starts looking into the murder case of her father. Marcus has his hands full with his job and now raising his deceased sister’s daughter. But that wasn’t stopping him from trying hard to find who is threatening Kinsley. Is the danger tied to her father’s murder or something else?
The story is well-plotted and the storyline flows well. I liked how Marcus’ feeling of protectiveness for Kinsley wasn’t overwhelming to her. I also liked how Kinsley came to gradually fall for Marcus. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, but, despite all the trauma of her past, she was able to move on and fall for Marcus. It’s great that the story has a happy ending.
