This book is the gripping conclusion to the EagleMountain Murder Mystery: Winter Storm Wedding series. The tension built from the beginning of the first book when both a serial killer and a winter storm hit Eagle Mountain at the same time. Throughout the series, the Ice Cold Killer took every opportunity to taunt the sheriff’s department over his ability to elude capture while continuing his killing spree. The sheriff’s department is understandably frustrated. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation sent Brodie to assist in the investigation.
Brodie and Emily, the sheriff’s sister, have a history. Five years earlier, they were a couple until Emily rejected Brodie’s proposal, and they went their separate ways. A short time later, Emily wrote him a later that he never responded to. Brokenhearted, she wrote him off and tried to forget him and move on with her life. She is stunned to see him back in town, and not too happy to discover that she still has feelings for him.
I enjoyed the rekindling of the relationship between Brodie and Emily. Brodie, too, was heartbroken by Emily’s rejection. He’s surprised to realize that his feelings for her are just as strong and is determined to clear the air with her and see if there is a chance for them. It won’t be easy, as Emily puts up walls between them. In a bid to spend time with her, Brodie involves Emily in the investigation. Emily tried hard to resist the sparks that still flew between them, but it was a losing battle. The scene where they finally talked about the past was deeply emotional and broke down the barriers between them, allowing their attraction to ignite. The morning after scene was great, too, especially Brodie’s conversation with her brother, Travis. Brodie and Emily continue to grow closer as the investigation continues. When tragedy nearly parts them forever, I loved how both realized that they had matured enough to see the mistakes of the past and overcome the fears that had parted them. I loved their big moment at the end.
The suspense of the story was fantastic. We learned the identity of the killer at the end of the previous book (Cold Conspiracy). This book is taken up with the efforts to capture him. Brodie’s arrival and Emily’s involvement bring fresh eyes to the problem. As the killer escalates his activities, Brodie finds information that convinces him that Emily is the next target. There are more deaths, and the sense of impending danger continues to build, and Brodie becomes more intent on keeping Emily safe. The final confrontation had me glued to the pages as the killer made his ultimate play. There were moments when I wondered how Brodie was going to free Emily. I loved how she kept her head and played an essential part in making it happen.
The other storyline that ran through all four books was that of the wedding of Travis and Lacy (Saved by the Sheriff). Between the serial killer keeping Travis busy, and the multiple storms and avalanches isolating Eagle Mountain from the rest of the world, there was some question as to whether the wedding would happen on schedule or not. Complicating matters, the killer struck during two of the pre-wedding activities. I loved seeing how determined everyone was to make sure that nothing would stop it. I had to laugh at the unexpected turn it took, but loved it anyway.
The taunting and an arrogant serial killer that has played havoc in the small mountain town in the middle of a blizzard, wedding arrangements, and the road closes has to be stopped, no matter what. I read this last installment of the engaging series on one sitting. It is fast-paced, with fierce action and suspense, and a potent love story of second chances, the story moving on with vigorous scenes, making it unputdownable.
The things are finally moving in the right direction, catching the killer, and stopping him, is the main priority, so that life can continue and the town can heal from the tragic losses of several women in their community.
The last person Emily Walker expected to run into during her hometown visit was Brodie Langtry, the man who broke her heart. Oh, the chemistry and tension between Emily and Brodie were sizzling, and the hurt from the past was tangible in the pages as I inhaled the words, hoping them to find harmony and peace again.
The hunt for the killer comes up, close, and personal with Brodie and Emily, it puts everything and everyone in danger and stopping him without more casualties seems impossible.
I have enjoyed this series from the start, the characters, the romance, the hunt for the killer, the setting, the danger from nature, all playing such an important and unique part of the outcome. I can highly recommend the series for a wintery binge-reading session, as the icy mix outside keeps piling on…
Cindi Myers delivers with this series and knows how to mix the risk of the wilderness surrounding the events into the mix as a third major element of the appealing and charming yet death and danger filler tales!

Amazing read.
Snowblind Justice was a fast-paced, suspenseful read with great characters. It was the conclusion of of the Eagle Mountain Murder Mystery. This thriller pulled me in and kept my attention until the end. I can’t wait to read what this talented author writes next.
“Snowblind Justice” by Cindi Myers is the heart-in-your-throat conclusion to the Eagle Mountain Murder Mystery: Winter Storm Wedding miniseries.
Emily Walker is in Eagle Mountain to help with the wedding of her brother, Travis, to Lacy Milligan (“Saved by the Sheriff”).
Brodie Langtry works for the Colorado Bureau Investigation and is in town to help Travis and his staff find the person responsible for the deaths of many women.
Emily and Brodie have a past. Five years ago, he proposed, she said no, and they went their separate ways. Emily had written a letter to Brodie with an explanation and, when he didn’t respond, she decided she wanted nothing to do with him. Now he’s back and her feelings are as strong as ever. Wanting to find out why she said no and to keep her safe, Brodie enlists Emily’s help in trying to find the killer.
Though we know who the Ice Cold Killer is, “Snowblind Justice” is about finding them and bringing them to justice.
With that said, Ms. Myers writes a stunning conclusion to a mystery that spanned several books.
