Her Frozen Cry by Carolyn Arnold {Book Review}

For the first time ever, I was able to solve the mystery in Her Frozen Cry by Carolyn Arnold – a must read author!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary e-book copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own unless otherwise noted.

The moon shines through the open window, bathing the woman in pale light. Blood-red wine from a shattered glass soaks into the cream blanket beside her, and her dull eyes stare vacantly at the framed photograph in her hand.

When beautiful wife and mother Alicia Gordon is found dead in a remote woodland cabin, Detective Amanda Steele is shocked to discover that she knows the husband. Amanda hasn’t spoken to Tony since she lost the love of her own life seven years ago, and seeing tragedy tearing her old friend’s family apart brings back so many painful memories.

Alicia was alone when she died, but she was so young, and Amanda can’t help feeling suspicious. Then she discovers that Alicia’s sleep medication had been tampered with, slowly poisoning her over several days. Amanda wants to trust that the sorrow on Tony’s face is real, but the more she digs into his marriage, the more it seems that he had opportunity, and motive…

Interviewing one of Alicia’s old colleagues, Amanda is shaken to her core when the woman suddenly collapses in her arms, dying in seconds from a lethal dose of the same poison that killed Alicia. But what could link this woman to Tony?

With her partner blaming Amanda for not arresting Tony immediately, she needs to prove that he isn’t the killer, or accept that the second woman’s death could be on her hands. She’s running out of time and leads when she discovers threatening messages sent to both victims. It’s the final clue to unmasking the most twisted killer Amanda has ever come up against, and to stop them she’ll have to risk everything…

A heart-pounding crime thriller perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

I finally figured one out!

I am a huge fan of Carolyn Arnold’s writing and have read several, several of her books. Never, before Her Frozen Cry, had I solved the crime before the characters, but I did this time!

Her Frozen Cry was a superb mystery with several suspects surrounding suspect circumstances that almost didn’t piece together. {Keyword: almost}

I love that Ms. Arnold’s books read together, almost like a soap opera. Previous books have set us up for things that occurred in this book, and things that occurred in this book have set us up for the future.

The story brings pieces of Amanda’s past to the present, as well as reunites us with her partner, her chief, her family, and her adopted daughter Zoe – as well as pieces from Amanda’s past books in the series. (Don’t let that stop you from reading Her Frozen Cry. Carolyn Arnold does a fantastic job of filling in any gaps that may have been mentioned in the past so that each book can be read as a stand alone or can be read as a part of the bigger series.)

Her Frozen Cry held a big mystery, a bit of drama, a hint of romance, and a heart stopping scare. It took no time to read because I never wanted to put it down!

As mentioned previous, I am a big fan of Carolyn Arnold’s mysteries and highly recommend all of her books!
