Book Review:The Girls in the Snow (Nikki Hunt #1) by Stacy Green



Title: The Girls in the Snow (Nikki Hunt #1)

Author: Stacy Green 

Stars: 5

Review:
Stacy Green brings a small town in Minnesota with a dark past that will have readers unable to put the story down.  Nikki Hunt has a story that she doesn't want to keep telling and when a person is murdered in her hometown everything comes crashing in.  She refuses to give into what people are expecting and demanding.  
Nikki is a hard characters to to love but as the story progresses shows that she isn't cold but passionate about about what she knows is true.
While The Girls in the Snow is the first in a new series readers will feel they are missing a story or two with the way the different characters connect and work together. 
Being a Minnesota girl and living about 2 hours away from Stillwater I can honestly say this author painted the city perfectly not to mention the cold and snow.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of Stacy Green The Girls in the Snow.

Synopsis:
In the remote forests of Stillwater, Minnesota, you can scream for days and no one will hear you. So when the bodies of two fifteen-year-old girls are discovered frozen in the snow, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is sure the killer is local: someone knew where to hide them and thought they'd never be found.

Home for the first time in twenty years, Nikki sees that the whole town had been frantically searching for missing best friends Madison and Kaylee, and when she finds out who Madison’s step-father is, she becomes desperate to lead the case. John was once the person she trusted most in the world, who stood by her when she was just sixteen and her parents were murdered. Who supported her when she identified their killer, Mark Todd.

But when Nikki arrives at the Sheriff’s office, she’s confronted by protesters eager to see Mark freed. With new evidence that could clear his name, Mark has appealed his conviction and his brother Rory begs Nikki to take a look at what they’ve found.

Nikki knows she must focus on the killer at large, but Rory makes her wonder if she put her trust in the right people all those years ago. Are Madison and Kaylee’s deaths connected to her parents’ murders? And can she face up to her past before another life is taken?
