A Cold Day in Hell by Lissa Marie RedmondMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
February 2018
I received this digital ARC from Midnight Ink via NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.
Lauren Riley is a cold case detective working with her partner Reese. Divorced with a daughter away at Penn State, she takes on cases as a private investigator on the side. She likes to keep busy to avoid seeing her ex husband, Mark.
Her life becomes more complicated when she takes on a case for an attorney Violanti with whom she has been adversaries on many cases. She also learns that a prior relationship with another player in this high profile case will provide unexpected chaos in her life. Lauren ends up seeking assistance from unlikely sources to assist her investigation. She soon discovers there is far more to the story than once believed.
The story was well-written with clear intention for a sequel. The cast were nicely displayed with just enough story to provide a glimpse into their character. While there appears to be two story lines being told, it’s clear that one overshadowed the other. It was interesting to see how the characters developed with hints of what may lie ahead for them.
Overall, the cold case the detectives solved seemed secondary to the active investigation that was being conducted in the side.
