For a while I wondered what happened to Patricia MacDonald because I had not seen anything new until “Cast into Doubt.” Shelby Sloan’s world is out of whack when she learns that her daughter Chloe disappeared from a cruise ship. Shelby cannot believe the explanations given by the police and Chloe’s husband on the vanishing of Chloe. Something about Shelby does not seem right. She delves into the circumstances and begins to learn not everything is as it seems. MacDonald has crafted a complicated tale that races along to its final satisfying conclusion. It’s great to see MacDonald back with another great chilling novel. “Cast into Doubt” is a suspenseful story that is a page turner.
