the setup…
FBI Special Agent Nikki Hunt has been searching for the serial killer known as Frost for years and knows everything about his methods. When she’s called to the murder scene at the Boundary Waters near Stillwater, Minnesota, she quickly recognizes that the woman is his latest victim, wearing the signature red ribbon in her hair. But there was more…it’s the body of someone she knows, her childhood friend Annmarie Mason.
the heart of the story…
It’s personal and Nikki is shaken to her core. As she looks into Annmarie’s life, she discovers that the woman has been fixated on her personal security for years and has her own wall tracking Frost. It got eerie as Nikki’s old memories began to surface and made her consider whether she’s Frost’s focus.
the narration…
Kate Handford has become a favorite and her storytelling skills are wonderful.
the bottom line…
I was looking forward to when Frost would become the singular focus since he was in the background of the prior books. It didn’t disappoint as the procedurals were strong and the clues puzzling. But when it looked like it was personal to Nikki, I felt strongly that she should step back and consult instead of continuing to lead the investigation. No matter, I was still glued to the story as it got more sinister and dangerous. I was stunned by the exciting conclusion. Nothing predictable about this series and I’m even more interested in what’s next.
