A review by elinor_rigby
Stone Cold Heart by Caz Frear
4.0
Read Caz Frear’s first book (Sweet Little Lies) in 2018 and freaking adored it. The main character, Cat Kinsella, is witty and down-to-earth. She feels like a real person not a character.
I really liked the follow up novel. Even though it is a murder mystery, I genuinely laughed out loud several times, which is one of the reasons I liked the first one. Nothing slapsticky or unseemly for a murder mystery. More aside comments from characters, Kinsella in particular.
The mystery was gripping but not as much as the first one. To be fair, I only vaguely remember the plot of the 1st book but I remember wanting to simultaneously know the ending and not wanting the book to end. I didn’t have that with this book. I would still recommend it but you definitely have to read the first one since there are important plot points relating to Kinsella’s life.
