A new standalone police suspense story from Nicky James, a brilliant mystery story that was narrated just as brilliantly. Two men with broken pasts, circling a serial killer investigation and falling for each other.
From the blurb:
Alone with an infant, a broken heart, unimaginable pain, and a promise that I’ll never forget.
After relocating and taking a job as Ottawa’s chief forensic pathologist, I find purpose.
I find escape from the anguish that threatens to drown me.
I find him.
Detective Kobe Haven is everything I can’t have but everything I want.
Our paths cross when we are called to investigate a murder. Kobe is charming, smart, and relentless, but I can’t move on. I’m not ready. Before I know what’s happening, he’s under my skin, inside my veins, warming a special place in my heart.
I can’t turn him off.
He’s all I think about.
But do I really know him?
Does he really know me?
As the case unravels and the bodies pile up, true feelings surface.
Winter storms rage. Spring is nothing more than a feverish wish on a cold night. Eternally out of reach.
Or is it?
Is Kobe someone I can trust?
Is he someone I can love?
Lesetiger's review:
The author knows how to write brilliant stories, and this book is the best proof of that. I was captivated by the story from the very beginning. This was partly due to the two likeable main characters, Dominique and Kobe, and partly due to the storyline. Detective Kobe Haven is investigating a murder. During his investigation, he meets the chief forensic pathologist Dominique Chevalier, a single father who is still mourning a loss in his private life. Kobe is an ambitious detective with a turbulent past.
There is more than one dead body, and so the two meet again and sparks fly. The author has struck the perfect balance between emotion and suspense. Once I started listening to the story, I couldn't put it down. I was super excited to find out what happened next. And you know those books where you have no idea what's coming? That's how I felt—it was absolutely brilliant! And I'll definitely listen to the story a second time, just to see if I should have seen it coming sooner.
Nick J. Russo was amazing as the narrator! He gave the characters a lot of depth and personality, and he also delivered an incredibly impressive performance. I felt like I was right in the middle of the events.
Nicky and Nick are the perfect duo! I highly recommend it!
