Bridgette Cash is a rookie detective, being trained by Detective Lance Hoffman, who’s set for retirement in 3 months. What Bridgette is finding out is that Hoffman doesn’t particularly like women, he’s rude and overbearing and opinionated.
The finding of a woman’s body is Bridgette’s first murder case. She believes this is the work of a serial killer. She only has to convince Hoffman and their supervisor. But no one seems to be listening. Feeling that this killer is not done, she’s digging deep to find the evidence she needs to prevent another murder.
No one has ever run up against a killer like this one. He plans and plans and rehearses… he never leaves a clue … and he never takes anything with him he won’t use. It takes the rookie cop to put together a profile and find something that everyone else has missed.
It becomes very personal when the killer turns his attention to Bridgette….
Bridgette’s father was a Homicide Detective. Twenty years ago, her father murdered her mother and then disappeared … at least that is what is believed. Bridgette wants the truth about what happened .. only the police file is missing. Can Hoffman be trusted? He was friends with her father … but does he know what really happened? and where her father went?
The two story lines blend well together, but be forewarned. One of them reaches a semi-conclusion and the other is a cliff hanger. Books 2 and 3 are available now with more to come to the series. I like knowing I can continue without waiting for the next book to be published.
This is action-packed with great characters. I like the interaction between Cash and Hoffman and how they slowly come together to work as a team.
Many thanks to the author / Booksirens for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
Exhilarating, titillating, gripping and riveting
storyline!!!
The characters are multifaceted with human
emotions and flaws which are effectual plus
forceful experiences. This has defined their
perceptions and personalities for either being
the good or sinister characters in the story.
This is a stunning and emotional read that
presents suspense, tension, drama with
plenty of thrills, chills, twists and turns.
Intrigue is heightened to mountainous
proportions as the author puts the reader
into the middle of the story with the detailed
descriptions.
Come along with a grumpy, seasoned detective,
the new rookie, the chief who is getting ready
to retire, the obnoxious Assistant Commissioner,
the carefully, strategically serial killer plus an
myriad of supporting characters.
I volunteered to read Cold Comfort which is
book # 1 in the Bridgette Cash Mystery Thriller
series. Thanks to the author via Book Sirens for
the opportunity. My opinion is my own.
I received an advance review copy for free,
and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I love police dramas. I don’t care whether I’m reading them or watching them. Seeing these brave men and women in action, who are the thin blue line that stands between us and total chaos, is awe inspiring. This book really makes me think of Castle. (Minus the bumbling writer love interest.) There’s also a strong Criminal Minds feel to the story as well. Rich with detail and multifaceted characters, this is a complex and sinister plot that keeps Bridgette and her fellow officers guessing. This reader included. The dramatic roller-coaster ride starts from the opening paragraphs and takes off at a brake-neck pace, pushing me through so many emotional states I was left breathless at the end. There’s also an over-arching conspiracy that’s not wrapped up in this book, but I’m desperate to learn more about.
I enjoyed this book and characters.
