Cold Pursuit (Ryland & St. Clair #1) by Nancy Mehl

Cold Pursuit (Ryland & St. Clair #1)
ABOUT THE BOOK

Needing a fresh start, she moves to St. Louis to be near her ailing mother and opens a private investigation firm with her friend and former FBI partner, Tony St. Clair. They're soon approached by a grieving mother who wants them to find out what happened to her teenaged son who disappeared four years ago. River knows there's almost no hope the boy is still alive, but his mother needs closure, and River and Tony need a case, no matter how cold it might be.

But as they follow the boy's trail, which gets more complicated at every turn, they find themselves in the path of a murderer determined to punish anyone who gets in his way. With a killer on the loose set on finishing the job he started, will River be pulled back into her tormented past or finally face the demons that haunt her?

With her trademark blend of page-turning thrills and intricate plots, Nancy Mehl delivers a spine-tingling thriller that will keep readers up all night.



MY THOUGHTS.....




I've read several of this author's books and I'm always amazed with Nancy Mehl's ability to convey the workings of troubled minds! Cold Pursuit kept me fully engaged in the efforts to learn what really caused a teenager's disappearance several years ago. I loved watching the deepening friendship between former FBI partners River Ryland and Tony St. Clair. and I can only hope that a different relationship will be explored in the near future. This book has good versus evil. faltering faith versus deep belief, and a painful reminder that mental illness can trigger unimaginable acts. But, above all, Mehl offers the powerful affirmation that God is always with us!

If you're looking for a psychological thriller filled with twists, turns, intense danger, and unending suspense, grab a copy of Cold Pursuit today. It will have you turning the pages and keenly anticipating the second book in the Ryland & St. Clair series!

I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
