Mini-Book Review — Cold Dead Night

28 Apr

My book club chose Cold Dead Night by Lisa Phillips as our April selection. Phillips was a new-to-us author for many in the group. We love suspense, but got a bit more than we wanted in this dark and twisting thriller. Many thought the images were disturbing and chose to read only in daylight hours. 😉 This aside, we found a lot of the storyline hard to believe, so that hindered our reading experience. While this book was a no for us, not every book is for everybody. We obviously, were not the target audience. But we did all finish it — we really wanted to know who was behind all the mayhem. I urge you to check it out for yourself. Phillips is a very popular author (one in our group has read numerous books by her and loved them), and Cold Dead Night has overall positive reviews.

Audience: Adults.

(I borrowed the ebook through Kindle Unlimited. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

The FBI betrayed her. Now they need her.

Private Investigator Kenna Banbury lost everything two years ago at the hands of a serial killer. From the ashes of that encounter, she’s built a life she believes in, searching for the lost and forgotten all over the western US.

Bringing her own brand of justice.

When a series of murders drags her into an FBI investigation, Kenna finds herself back in the place where it all went wrong. Struggling to make sense of the case, Kenna’s past and present collide in a deadly plot that risks another betrayal and threatens to shatter everything she’s built.

Kenna faces the darkest part of her past in this first book of a brand-new series from Lisa Phillips.
