Review
Book 13… For some this number makes them want to spend the whole day in bed, locked up. For others this means a brand new story by this amazingly good author.
I think this has become one of my favourite police teams. I have a bit of a soft spot for Dave… and for Shane… and for Zac… and for Jake… 😊 and I would not mind having Jenna, Julie and Emily as BFF’s.
Let’s see what’s so great about this book:
- A deranged killer: check
- A basket full of suspects: check
- A thrilling story: check
- A chilling plot: check
- A bit of romance: check
Jenna and her team not only had to battle against a very cold killer, but the weather was not on their side either. Sometimes the atmosphere was not only ice cold outside, but freezing inside as well.
It was another nail biting book where I disliked one of the suspect straight from the start. Was that person indeed the killer or were my feelings way of the radar as usual…
I felt the cold seep out of the book, but the suspense kept me nice and warm. 5 stars
Thank you, D.K. Hood and Bookouture
