Book Review: Cold Girl by R M Greenaway‏

 
Title: Cold Girl

Author: R.M. Greenaway

Stars :4 out of 5



Review:

This is a B. C. Blues crime novel. I found the story line to be 
very solid and enjoyed reading the book. The story is told from the 
viewpoint of several of the characters based on what they are doing at 
the time. While I enjoyed the book I felt more background information on
 some of the individuals (Constable Dion as a prime example) would have 
made the story line much stronger.
 
I gave the book a four star rating and would have given it a five star rating if it had contained the background backup.
 
I received this ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Synopsis:

A popular rockabilly 
singer has vanished in the snowbound Hazeltons of northern B.C. Lead 
RCMP investigator David Leith and his team work through the 
possibilities: has she been snatched by the so-called Pickup Killer, or 
does the answer lie here in the community, somewhere among her reticent 
fans and friends?

Leith has much to contend with: rough terrain 
and punishing weather, motel-living and wily witnesses. The local police
 force is tiny but headstrong, and one young constable seems more 
hindrance than help -- until he wanders straight into the heart of the 
matter. 

The urgency ramps up as one missing woman becomes two, 
the second barely a ghost passing through. Suspects multiply, but only 
at the bitter end does Leith discover who is the coldest girl of all.

Paperback, 336 pages    

Expected publication: March 26th 2016 by Dundurn Press
