Series:
Tennessee Cold Case (Book 5)
Six bodies. No suspect.
And a serial killer on the loose.
Working a cold case, investigators Faith Lancaster and
Asher Whitfield unearth a secret burial ground. And when a young woman goes
missing, it's clear that the same person is to blame. Then he turns his rage on
Faith. Now, as they race to protect others in danger, she is torn between
keeping things professional and resisting the attraction she and Asher share.
Excellent book that sucked me in from the first page and
kept me hooked to the end. Faith and Asher are partners at Unfinished Business,
which investigates cold cases. They have been partners for two years and best
friends for most of that time.
The pair have been working to find the body and killer of
a young woman who disappeared five years earlier. As the book opens, they believe
that they have discovered where the killer buried her. They didn't expect to find
six bodies in that location and are suddenly looking at a serial killer
situation. Matters become complicated when the state investigators take over
and kick them off the case. Faith and Asher, with the encouragement of their
boss, continue investigating on their own, determined to stop the killer before
he strikes again.
The suspense of this story was intense. When their
victim's sister is also taken, Asher and Faith suspect the same person. I was
on the edge of my seat as they threw themselves into finding the girl before it
was too late. I was intrigued by their methods of identifying the killer. The
twists and turns of their investigation kept me reading long past my bedtime.
The final confrontation had an unexpected and terrifying complication that kept
me glued to the pages until it was over.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between
Faith and Asher. It is evident from the start that Asher is in love with Faith.
He wants more, but Faith is determined to keep him in the friend zone. Faith ignores
the signs as she doesn't want to risk losing his friendship if something goes
wrong. But when Asher is injured during their investigation, she realizes the
depth of her feelings for him. There were some great scenes as they worked
their way through them while maintaining their working relationship. I loved
the ending, especially the reactions of their coworkers.
