Cold Threat (Ryland & St. Clair #2) by Nancy Mehl

 Twenty years ago, several people were murdered in Des Moines, and the only evidence left behind was a snowman ornament hanging ominously on a tree in the victims' front lawns. With a suspect behind bars, the killings have come to an end--or so everyone thought. But now crimes with a similar MO are happening in a small Iowa town, and a local detective believes the killer is back and ready to strike again.

With little time left on the clock before they have another murder on their hands, private investigators River Ryland and Tony St. Clair must work alongside Tony's detective father to find evidence that will uncover an evil that has survived far too long. As the danger mounts and the suspect closes in, it will take all they have to catch a killer--before he catches one of them.

My Review

 

Once again Nancy Mehl kept me page turning for answers, and yes, I did read the first book in this series, and you might want to read it first, but she does a wonderful job of bringing you up to date!

This read has murders twenty years apart, and brings together the former FBI team of Ryland and St. Clair, whom now run their own detective agency. We visit with Tony's family, and see how this personally affects his family!

There are so many twists and turns here, and I really didn't see the main one coming! There is so much love and forgiveness, but there is so much danger, and in the end it is coming from more than one front.

Now I can't wait for the next book in this series!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
