The Murder Book by Lissa Marie Redmond
4.0
This is book #2 in the Cold Case Investigation with Lauren Riley and Shane Reese. Even though the book can be read as stand alone, it is best to begin with book 1 as that has lot of character development and shows the varied relationships that Lauren has with the people surrounding her.
Honestly I wanted to read this series because of the 'cold case' in the title, because I love reading about old and past mysteries being unearthed in the present with the advance of technology. But both book 1 and 2 do not have much action in the cold case category, the action is in the present but that doesn't spoil this brilliant thriller. What makes this such an absorbing read is the close and loving relationship between Riley and Reese. Their banter and witty repartee makes it a comfy read even though I felt the mystery element gets revealed very soon.. Like book 1, this also ends with a cliffhanger and thus looking forward to book #3.
