An outstanding police procedural with fascinating characters. This first installment in the San Diego series introduces dedicated Detecive Kit McKittrick and caring psychologist Sam Reeves. Kit is not one to trust easily so she fights her instincts when Sam provides information about the possible location of murdered teenager. This latest discovery adds to the number of cold cases that have haunted the homicide squad for over a decade. With suspicions falling on Sam, he has a vested interest in finding the killer as do Kit and her fellow detectives. A twist-filled mystery that will leave readers anxiously awaiting the next book this fantastic series.

If you’ve been following my reviews for a while, you’ll know that I love Karen Rose books. I’ve been reading her books for years; I loved some of them, some of them not so much; but you know something that has continued during these years? That they intrigued me, kept me reading and wanting to know more about the story.
Cold Blooded Liar is a thriller; with mystery, intrigue and interesting characters. Maybe one of my favourite books from the last few years by Karen Rose!
I loved the main characters; Sam Reeves and Kit McKittrick, their chemistry is intense and keeps you wanting to know more about them. Don’t expect a high voltage romance, it is a thriller and with a good mystery! And that’s why I loved this story so much; you know that Sam is a good person, but at the same time you can understand Kit’s reticence to trust him, to work with him. We all have our own baggage that influences our acting to the world and people that surround us. Kit’s story is sad and shows us how stubborn and intelligent she is, but at the same time her fear to trust. Sam has to make a difficult decision as a psychologist; showing us the difficult line in life sometimes we are. Do the right thing knowing that it can hurt us or keep silent knowing that it will hurt someone? As you can see there are a lot of questions and mysteries in this book. If you want to know all the answers you have to read it!I hope this book will be the first one of a series, I can’t wait to know more about Sam and Kit!Are you ready to enter the “Cold Blooded”?
