Cold Threat by Nancy Mehl continues the series of River Ryland and Tony St. Clair (you could probably read this as a standalone, but I think you might miss some things). River and Tony have started their private investigation firm and are called to create a profile for a serial arsonist who only strikes when it’s snowing. This is a race-against-the-clock story as River and Tony get closer to the killer…and each other.
I have loved this series from the start. Nancy Mehl is great at building tension and suspense. This story had a lot more introspection for the characters as River deals with her past trauma, knowing she’s still in the crosshairs of a serial killer. Not to mention there’s the growing attraction for her co-worker Tony. And Tony struggles with his feelings and the need to keep River safe. Plus, there’s the whole serial killer on the loose, and the two must figure out who is behind the brutal attacks before he strikes again.
This is a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read the next one.
