“With their lives–and hearts–on the line, can they confront the evil that threatens them before it consumes them both?” the back jacket states in Nancy Mehl’s novel, Cold Vengeance.
~ What ~
The third book of the Ryland + St. Clair series, this three-hundred-and-thirty-six-page advance reader copy targets those interested in a Christian contemporary suspense involving a pair of private investigators trying to locate a missing crime blogger. Using no profanity, the topics of illness, murder, and death may not be appropriate for immature readers.
In this on-going tale, former FBI analysts River and Tony accept a new case that involves a young blogger focused on cold cases who turns up missing. The two professionals try to find out what happened to the writer by researching her online posts about unsolved murders. At the same time, River must watch her back, knowing a serial killer is still out to get her as she gets emotionally closer to her partner.
~ Why ~
I love a mystery, and this one covers it well by including more than one police case. Most of the characters are explained accurately, especially the one with Alzheimer’s disease. I appreciate that the protagonists trust the Holy Spirit for guidance as they both face danger.
~ Why Not ~
Those who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ may not like this story. Since it is about multiple unsolved murder cases, some may not like the disturbing details. Others may not care for the bantering and teasing between the two main characters.
~ Wish ~
While I appreciate the story mentions God and prayer, there was no true plan of salvation of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and rising from the dead.
~ Want ~
If you like a series about cold cases and serial killers, this one that includes trusting God is engaging as the two work to bring darkness into the light.
