Nikki Hunt #3
On her hands and knees, Nikki moved to the other side of the body. She couldn’t stop her fingers from trembling as she brushed the dark hair off the victim’s face. She couldn’t look away. “I know her…”
When Special Agent Nikki Hunt is called to the Boundary Waters near Stillwater, Minnesota, it’s not just the cold that shocks her to her core: the body of a young woman has been found frozen beside a remote lake. Nikki is devastated to see the victim is her childhood friend Annmarie, and she recognizes the velvet ribbon tied in her hair as the hallmark of a serial killer who she has been hunting for years.
Desperate for justice, Nikki throws herself into the case. But she is shaken by what she finds at Annmarie’s home: a dead-bolt on her front door and a map in the spare room, with the locations of murdered women circled in thick, red marker. Did Annmarie know she was next? Then Nikki finds out that the killer has left a clue in Annmarie’s bedroom: a photo of Nikki’s mother that no one has ever seen. Has the murderer at large been in Nikki’s life since she was a child?
Nikki soon realizes that the key to unlocking this case is in her own family, but digging up the past could put her own daughter in danger. She has spent her whole life protecting the ones she loves, but to find this killer Nikki might have to risk everything…

Review
I love Nikki Hunt. She tries to be a great mum, but often victims and serial killers tear her away from her beloved daughter. Promises she is forced to break, break her little girl’s as well as her own heart. Sometimes she finds a few hours where she can leave her hunt for the murder behind and spend some quality time with her child or does the culprit has other plans…?
Our main protagonist Nikki is an FBI agent. It’s only natural that the focus is on finding justice for the victims. In this third book the goal is still to catch the bad guy, but the story is also filled with bucket loads of emotions.
How one little lie, told to protect someone, can trigger a person to turn into a serial killer in order to capture someone’s attention. You think you know your family’s history, but it seems you don’t really know much at all. The truth can be hard to tell. Sometimes it’s better to spill the beans though. It probably would have saved a some lives.
Lacey, Nikki’s daughter’ is a great character. She’s a wonderful little girl, but very mature at the same time.
A great story that I enjoyed very much. Looking forward to the next book. 5 stars
Thank you, Stacy Green and Bookouture
