The Cold Room by Karen Long

The Cold Room (Detective Eleanor Raven, #3)

by Karen Long

The brand new thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the author of The Safe Word and The Vault.

Winter is settling on Toronto and a series of seemingly unconnected murders are weighing heavily on DI Eleanor Raven. When an army veteran holds his family hostage, leaving chaos and an unidentifiable skeletal human hand in his wake, Raven is left tangled in a web of leads, lies and secrets, with each thread leading her closer to the all too terrifying truth.

But with time running out, Raven needs to re-connect with her past life – the one she thought she’d finally escaped from – if she’s to find out who the killer is before they strike again . . .

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and I was excited to see what happened next.

In the first two books, DI Raven certainly put herself at risk. In this book, she is still recovering from those events. She is such a strong character. She easily takes leadership, gives direction and helps her team where she can.

I love the relationship Eleanor has with Mo and Laurence too. They both compliment Eleanor in such different ways. Mo being her old mentor and Laurence being the rookie.

This book is very well written. Karen has managed to interweave many threads into one incredible story. The story is very well-paced and has some very interesting concepts. This is a very gripping and tense read. I hope we haven't seen the end of DI Raven and her team
