by Lisa Jackson

'Shiveringly good suspense!' Lisa Gardner

THE FOURTH BOOK IN A GRIPPING SERIES FROM 30 MILLION COPY SELLING AUTHOR.

Others may dread the bone-numbing cold of winter, but the killer relishes it. The way the frigid water preserves his victims, the feel of their icy skin beneath his fingers. Before long, the world will see their beauty - and his vengeance.

The Bitterroot Mountains are in the grip of a hard winter when the detectives first see the two bodies: each frozen solid, yet deliberately displayed. Both victims are women known to Detective Selena Alvarez. Each of them is wearing a piece of her jewellery.

Selena's partner Regan Pescoli and the entire department are working on this case, and so is P.I. Dylan O'Keefe, a man Selena got too close to once before. But this killer already knows too much about the mistakes Selena has tried to outrun. The secrets of her past are coming to the surface, one by one.

And soon a madman bent on revenge will show her just how much she has to lose . . .

'She is one of the best' Harlan Coben

Reviews

[ibeforem]

This was enjoyable. I haven’t read the other books of the series, but there’s enough background to give you the gist of things. I do find it a little odd that serial killers keep ending up in this tiny Montana town during the holidays, but it wouldn’t be the first fictional location to see more than its share of strangeness. I found the tie to Selena’s past to be interesting, and the killer’s methods compelling. Also, the author does a nice job of using the weather and terrain to her favor. So, nothing exciting, but not a bad read with a satisfying bit of romance.
