Stone Cold Heart by Caz Frear

4.0

Wow - what a tense mystery! Honestly couldn't put it down. I don't tend to read crime novels that often unless they have some sort of unique factor, but this was written extremely well. The character of Cat is so well explained and consistent throughout the book, I really feel like I know and like her as a human. I didn't realise this was the second in the series, but it read really well as a standalone mystery. Obviously aside from the cliffhanger ending! Honestly if I ever needed my innocence proving, Cat is who I'd go to. I couldn't put this book down. It was twisty enough without being realistic which I really like - some crime novels just choose the most wildly unlikely candidate as the killer to up the shock factor but I didn't feel like that happened here. It was logical without being obvious, and backed up by thoughtful and clever details. Thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good female police officer led series. More like this, please!
