Special Agent Nikki Hunt is back again in this gripping, captivating, page turner which sees Nikki hunting a sadistic serial killer who is always a step ahead of her. I have loved this series from the very first book, The Girls in the Snow, and I always get excited when I see Stacy Green has another book out. Her Frozen Heart did not disappoint! The writing, the plot and the cast of characters keep me coming back for more. Her Frozen Heart is riveting, tense and compelling!
Nikki receives a phone call informing her that the body of Kesha Williams, a missing seventeen-year-old has been found by an ice fisher in an icy lake. Kesha was last seen at a mall and reported missing by her boyfriend who has become the main suspect in her disappearance. Nikki can’t help being reminded of when her own daughter went missing in the same mall.
With all the other books in the series, I was instantly drawn into the story. I loved being on the case with Nikki as she investigated and looked for clues. Plus, all the supporting characters are in this one. I love the character development that has occurred over the course of the series. There is the perfect balance between Nikki’s personal life and her investigative role.
Nikki is a character to root for. She has suffered loss in her life when her parents were killed, and her testimony sent the wrong man to jail. She is a mother with a young child who has found love again. She is smart, extremely likeable, flawed, and tough.
From the very first page, I was glued to the pages. There is no down time as Nikki investigates. I enjoyed the pacing and how the tension mounts as the investigation progresses. Whew! Did I mention, I love this series? This book proved to be a fast read and as it is only book 6 in the series, those who have not read it, can easily go back, and begin with book #1. Although, this would work as a stand-alone, this is such a great series, why not go back and start at the beginning There is great character development and growth for all of the characters that you won’t want to miss it.
Captivating, tense, and pulse pounding!
