A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini Singh

Anahera has come home to a small town on New Zealand's coast to escape a bad marriage and death of a cheating husband but being home is bringing up old memories of what and why she left home to start with. A new hunky cop will offer some distraction but soon they are all caught up in the disappearance of a young woman and the violence that is just lying under the careful veneer of the town. A different kind of remote landscape, ethnic viewpoint, and culture but the universal message of fear that something or someone you thought you knew is not alright. A solid thriller for fans of Jane Harper and Laura Lippman.
