The new Louis Kincaid book, Heart of Ice, is coming our way for review, but in the meantime, we've got a couple of PJ Parrish books to share with you!
This book is actually the precursor to our previously reviewed PJParrish book, The Little Death!
Be sure to check out the mini novella ebook, Claw Back, that is available to hold you over til Heart of Ice is out too!
Synopsis:
Dig up the past. Pay the price.
With one phone call from a man he barely recalls meeting years ago, South Florida detective Louis Kincaid heads to the Michigan town of his college days to reopen a disturbing cold case -- and finds himself confronting his own painful past secrets...secrets that risk his future with the woman he loves, detective Joe Frye.
Ann Arbor police detective Jake Shockey wants Kincaid's help in the case of Jean Brandt, who went missing nine years ago -- and whose husband, Owen, has since been paroled. Now, Owen Brandt's girlfriend appears to be at risk, and Shockey is desperate to get involved. Kincaid soon unearths the deeply personal reasons why...and with Joe Frye assisting, Kincaid links yesterday's jealousies with today's potentially lethal vengeance. It's only a matter of time before one will win out over the other -- and before Kincaid's own shattering revelations will be forced out into the light of day.

Review: I think this is one of my favorite Louis Kincaid books as it really gets into they whys behind the things that Kincaid does and how he thinks. It lets you into his past, and foreshadows his future. Which is why in some ways it would be a good starter book, if you don't want to go back to the beginning (though I always like to go back and read in sequence, that's just my little OCDness coming out).
The authors give us a great novel full of characters that will grab you from the beginning, a story that will have you guessing at the outcome, and closing the last page with a satisfied sigh! It is a story of how the past always catches up to us in unexpected ways, and leads us down paths that can change our lives. In fact the problem with reading one book is that you WANT to go read all the rest of them! So be forewarned, Louis Kincaid, may be the next series of books, you HAVE to read all of!
