Narrative In Favor Of Books Nothing Gold Can Stay (Liam Campbell #3)

This is the 3rd entry in the Liam Campbell series, following So Sure Of Death. The story begins approximately one month following the end of the previous novel.

As in the two previous novels, there are two storylines intertwined. One revolves around the murder that is discovered by Wy and the other revolves around the emotional growth of Liam, Wy and, this time, Moses.

And by “emotional growth,” I mean just that; this book is not a romantic suspense. The romance was covered in the first two novels; now we are dealing more with Wy’s backstory and how it relates to her choices as a person, as a woman and as a lover. We are also given much more information about Moses, just the beginning of a backstory but very important as to his choices and reactions also. And some of Prince’s backstory is revealed also.

And, in fact, it is elements from Prince’s background that the author uses to surreptitiously guide the murder investigation. Prince has a “because he could have done it, he did do it” attitude. Her professional ambition drives her to be more interested in closure rate than actual evidence or lack thereof.

With this established, the author drives the investigation in an oblique manner. She uses scenes during the investigation, rather than using internal dialogue, to carefully guide the reader to see Prince’s true nature – her immorality, her hypocrisy with respect to the law and her singleness of purpose with respect to her career. And the author lets us know that Liam is only aware of that last motivation which seriously hampers his investigation and ultimately leads to other deaths and very nearly his own.

The author also uses a different writing style in this book compared to the previous ones in the series. The chapters are divided by day and place. The reader has an omniscient view so that we know what different characters are doing simultaneously and consecutively with respect to each other and the storyline. This causes the tension to build slowly as the reader follows the victims before and after they meet the killer.

Tension also builds as the reader sees that Liam seems to be just one step behind the situation. The author introduced Liam in the first book as a disgraced rising star in the Alaska State Trooper system. He did not get this “rising star” reputation as an administrator but as a crack field investigator. Yes, he is now in a Bush area, with an indigenous Native population that he does not truly understand, but he did not suffer brain damage in his “disgrace.” Perhaps this “slowness” is a device to show how much Liam is changing personally and professionally. However, since we were presented with such an omniscient view of others during this book, it seems out of place not to have one for Liam. And this is the reason for my rating of 4, rather than 5.

Notice Epithetical Books Nothing Gold Can Stay (Liam Campbell #3)
I enjoyed this book.. it went into more background of the characters. Liam is living in a camper at Wy house unless Tim is gone then he sleeps in the house. Another murder has been found. Then another body discovered with the victim wife missing. Eventually Liam bf and Wy bf realize there is a serial killer out there on the loose. We also learn more about Prince and her background while she is set on closing cases regardless of who did the crime.

The fourth mystery concerning Wynet, an Alaskan pilot, and her boyfriend, Liam, a state trooper. A WW 2 plane is discovered in a Glacier with missing gold coins. What was fastinating was that I did not know that the Japanese had taken two Alaskan islands in the war and that there were actual bloody battles on US terrain! Live and learn.



I really like this series - the characters, and the setting. Not great literature but a worthwhile listen

What was the point of this book. A lot of drama but not much mystery. I get it , sex is a part of life, but sex and drama seems to be all this people have. Is the author trying to bore us to death? Maybe that should be her next mystery, a bunch of people die of boredom from reading this book.

Wow! Now this was a story. Maybe even four and a half. Great captivating mystery, lovely side stories, and the main romantic couple actually worked pretty well for me this time.
