    Good story
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2022
    When local women start disappearing, it’s up to the police to uncover what connects them, then draw the lines to who their attacker is and why. Pamela Cowan’s Cold Kill places readers, at times, in the mind of the attacker, then in the minds of his victims, then at the table with cops searching for solutions. Each point of view works convincingly in a story that combines physical ability and disability, mental stability and the slide to insanity, and the importance of friendship and kindness. It’s a truly scary story, sadly believable, and convincingly portrayed. Lots of action, lots of suspense, honest challenges, and an ending that’s both odd and satisfying. I enjoyed the read.

    Disclosure: I’ve met the author online and found the book in a deal.

    The setting of this storyline is somewhat deceiving as are the two main characters. Even if the reader accurately determines the ending, there is still more. Good character development and bravo for the medical research.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018
    Vengeance is best served cold. Unless, it's undeserving and you're a crazy person. This was a great story of friends in blue who must deal with the consequences of their jobs. They, and their loved ones, become prey of a man not quite right in the head. Brainstorming leads them on his trail and the hunter becomes the hunted. This book makes you look around and think which of your friends is the ride or die type who will stand by you no matter what. And the ending...pure gold.

    This is a page turner for sure. Real characters that you feel you know find themselves in a horrific situation and must find answers before its too late for them all. You'll be looking over your shoulder for weeks after reading this.

    This book is good. Not gory, not really messy, just a good read. It took about 3 or 4 days of reading . Some chapters were so so while others were a bit better. It filled in the gaps.
