Fragments of Fear by Carrie Stuart Parks

Evelyn McTavish’s world came crashing down with the suicide of her fiancé. As she struggles to put her life back together and make a living from her art, she receives a call that her dog is about to be destroyed at the pound. Except she doesn’t own a dog. The shelter is adamant that the microchip embedded in the canine with her name and address makes it hers.
Evelyn recognizes the dog as one owned by archaeologist John Coyote because she was commissioned to draw the two of them. The simple solution is to return the dog to his owner—but she arrives only to discover John’s murdered body.
As Evelyn herself becomes a target, she crosses paths with undercover FBI agent Sawyer Price. The more he gets to know her, the more personally invested he becomes in keeping her safe. Together, they’re desperate to find the links between so many disparate pieces.
And the clock is ticking.

The minute I started reading I was hooked.  I didn't want to put it down.  There were a lot of characters thrown at you in the beginning of the book.  But once I had them figured out it was easier to follow the story line.  All the different characters were part of the mystery and were needed.  Some that I thought were just thrown in there were part of the big picture.  The only negative thing I would say about the book is the very end.  Sawyer and Tavish ran into each others arms and proclaimed their love for each other.  They were only with each other for a few times in a span of several days.  I think it would have made more sense to have them want to explore they feelings they are starting to have rather than proclaim their love. 

I recommend this book to all who enjoy a good mystery.

I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
