Colleen Coble in her new E-book "Silent Night book coverSilent Night" Book Six in the Rock Harbor series published by Thomas Nelson takes us into the life of Bree Matthews and Samson, her search-and-rescue dog.From the back cover: As Christmas day nears, Bree and her faithful search-and-rescue dog Samson follow the trail of a troubling mystery into the snowy forests of Rock Harbor.Bree Matthews is preparing for Christmas guests, but her heart is reeling from the recent and tender loss of her unborn child. Her sister-in-law, Lauri, suddenly turns up on the doorstep of the lighthouse home Bree shares with her husband, Kade, in Rock Harbor. Secretive and withdrawn, Lauri seems curiously intent on discovering what happened to a parachuter who disappeared in the North Woods along Lake Superior's icy shore.As Bree and Samson, her search-and-rescue dog, plunge into the search, Bree wonders if Lauri may know more than she's admitted about the parachuter. And then the clues lead them to the trail of a young woman whose family fears the worst about her disappearance.Will the search on this snowy, silent night lead Bree and Samson to more than clues about the missing girl? And will Bree's prayer for a baby ever be answered?I made a mistake I have not read the previous five books in this Rock Harbor series, however, it is a mistake I intend to correct.  Bree Matthews is search-and-rescue and she has Samson, her specially trained dog to help her.  The minute I hear search-and-rescue I immediately feel the immediacy of the moment.  Someone is missing, there is trouble involved and there is no time to waste.  Colleen Coble knows exactly how to bring all of that to the story and more.  Danger, suspense, mystery, a missing parachuter, family troubles and Christmas, "Silent Night" has it all.  This is a fast-paced read that will keep you flipping pages to keep up with the story.  Ms. Coble has done an outstanding job.  I want to have more stories about Bree Matthews at Rock Harbor.Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers through the BookSneeze.com <[...]> book review bloggers program..
