New favorite author
Great!
I loved these books and the characters. Real, interesting,, kept me reading on and on. Definitely recommend.
Super fun books, cold cases and more!
Love Stone and Dehan, the main characters. The two of them add a little laughter into these “cold cases”. Reading the 5th book now.
Good Read my kind of detective stories.
Could not get into it. Moved kind of slowly. Stereotypical characters, typical setting, etc.
Very good story line, easy to read!
I really enjoyed reading these novels by Blake Banner! In fact, I’ve added him to my list of “favorite authors,” and have purchased the remaining titles in the “Dead Cold” series. Every book kept me wanting more and anticipating getting back into the next reading session.
My new favorite author. Realistic characters. Agatha Christie like plots. Great reads.
My first read of this author. And I thoroughly enjoyed his ability to keep you guessing. All four books were very well written
The writing is good and the main characters are likeable. However, the endings are convoluted and confusing, unbelievable.
