Great read
The premise of the book intrigued me because the main character, Chase Adams, reminded me of Alice Bergman, the main character in my novel The Braille Killer. Chase is a FBI agent assigned to a case in Alaska where two college girls are found murdered. From there, the story twists and turns and leads all the way across the country to Boston. I enjoyed the read and look forward to reading the rest of the Chase Adams books.
Although the book is great for reading on the beach or airplane, I think the author should spend more time developing the characters and the plot. It felt like he rushed writing the book so some parts were confusing. Overall, not a bad read.
Enjoyed this book by first time author. Will look forward to reading more!
The twist will leave you stunned!
Great story line; lots of believable struggles.
Enjoyed this book.
Kept me reading until the end.
Well written with a twist at the end.
Entertaining fun read.
Loved the Iceland location and the Polar bear as a shooting victim along with the police. Been to the Norther Fjiords and the scenery was spelled out perfectly.
Chase is a very imperfect heroine. Trying to become a full FBI Agent, she has a past which if found out would certainly disqualify her. Her past, going back to childhood has left her scarred and torn and needing to find answers that she feels only with the resources of the FBI will she get those answers she needs.
Will read more books by this author as this was my first.
Enjoyed it – kept me out of mischief!
I give Frozen Stiff – A Chase Adams FBI Thriller by Patrick Logan 4 stars. We are first met by Chase Adams who is running from someone sinister and who wants her dead. We then flash back a few weeks where we see Chase in her NYC apartment where she receives a call from a gentleman telling her to be on a plane, that she’s going on assignment to Anchorage, Alaska. She’s a new FBI agent and has been anxiously awaiting “the call” and now it’s finally come. She packs her bags and off she goes to the airport, where she’s stopped and scrutinized by security. Finally, she gets on the plane just in time as the gate was closing. When she finally arrives in Anchorage, she finds her bags have been lost including her gun and her winter coat. So, off she goes to the scene where two women have been so brutally killed, where their feet have been cut-off.
She’s met by Special Agent Martinez, who notices her lack of a winter coat in the cold, frigid temps, offers her his extra red parka, which she gratefully takes. Off they go to the morgue to hear the ME’s assessment of the young women’s condition. Here they learn not only have their feet been cut but they were also cauterized as well. When Chase touches one of the victims’ feet, she instantly is taken to the time of the killing and she believes she actually has become the victim… this experience had never happened before and it catches her off guard at first; however, as the story progresses this phenomenon comes to her aid in solving the case.
As the case progresses and Chase’ sense of who the killer really is becoming more clear, Martinez oddly heads off on another case where he soon calls Chase and has her meet him in Boston. Here they find two more victims only these victims are missing their hands, they were found in the river. As things continue to progress, Chase begins realizing who the real killer is and in no time, she knows her life is in danger and she must get out before it’s too late. Will Chase find the true killer in time? Or will the killer prevail?
This story is well thought out and developed nicely, with lots of great twists and turns and takes the reader on quite the ride and wonderment at who the real killer is. The character of Chase is well developed, she starts off green so to speak and we see her progress as the story unfolds and she grows into a very wise and established FBI agent as well as dealing with some factors in her past. However, some parts of her past have not been tied up, there are loose ends still dangling with her character. Also, many blaring editing errors. This is why I give this 4 stars, loose ends and editing errors. Otherwise, a wonderful book and if you enjoy a good mystery with a strong female character, then this is the book for you!
The prologue grabbed my attention, but the rest of the book fell a little flat. In my opinion there was to much back and forth between past and present. Chase was a little gullible she should have been asking a lot more questions. I got her frustration with the chauvinism of all the men towards her. I like that Chase is very flawed, but it’s almost too much. I figured out the killer from the start, so it lost a little hmph. There is some suspense and mystery but it needed more. I read on Kindle Unlimited.
Don’t remember if this one was free or 99¢, but either way, I overpaid for it. By page 20 I knew who the bad guy was. There is a mildly interesting subplot about the protagonist’s history and motivation, but it wasn’t enough.
This was not a book i would recommend. I average reading 15 books a month. And i disliked this book. It was too graphic. I like a murder mystery. But certainly not this one
I thought the story was hard to follow.
The main character in this book , a woman with a law enforcement background was portrayed as a palm reader or a clairvoyant as the story unravels it appears to me she should have been a school guard at a road crossing for elementary school kids.
