Cold Case Christmas

GIVEAWAY
PATCH, JESSICA R.
COLD CASE CHRISTMAS

Secrets lie buried in ice...one of them can kill her

Home for Christmas after her long missing mother's body is found, nothing will keep Nora Livingstone from uncovering the truth about the cold case. Especially not Deputy Sheriff Rush Buchanan, whom she once loved and left. Even when threats become attmepts on her life, Rush can't dissuade her -- but he will protect her. Because someone is determined to bury the truth...or bury Nora.

My Review:

Whoa! Fasten your seat-belts because this is one wild, scary ride! I think this armchair sleuth popped the springs in her armchair -- it was that fast and furious. Phew! Great suspense as always with Jessica R. Patch -- she's an automatic-buy author for me because she always has a surprise or two in store for her readers. The mystery never goes quite the way you think it will and she's not above giving a reader's suspensey spidey senses a punishing shock treatment! I'm always left muttering "Well, I didn't see that coming," somewhere along the way and this book is no exception. She delivers nail-biting precision right through to the very last page.

Plus, there's lots of Christmas which isn't always the case in these romantic suspense novels and an emotional second chance romance. Honestly, I wasn't a Nora fan at first -- pretty brash and hostile and in-your-face especially when it comes to Rush. I couldn't figure out what he saw in her until Patch begins to reveal the layers of hurt suffocating Nora's heart...and soul. A truly beautiful inspirational thread that transforms all that brokenness into something divinely new.

  4. Thank you for your review. I have loved every book I've read written by Jessica Patch and I can't wait for the opportunity to read "COLD CASE CHRISTMAS". Another book fighting for place on my TBR list. Love the scene on the cover. It just makes me want to visit and explore the beauty of the snow and then curl up by the fire and check out the pages inside.

    Thanks for the chance to win a copy!

  12. I love Jessica Patch, I've read every single thing she's written. Her last LIS had me holding my breath. I like hearing there's a good dose Christmas in it, you are right when you say not every book with a Christmas cover has a lot of it in it, so I am hunting this book down this week because I just can't wait!
