Thirty-Two years ago, on the same night, 5 young children mysteriously disappeared. They were never seen again. There were no ransom notes, no clues, nothing .... they just disappeared into thin air, leaving 5 families to grieve for the rest of their lives.
Today that all changes. The local veterinarian and his wife are found murdered in their home...each of them submerged in hardened cement. The plastic headstones on some of the graves in the pet cemetery have been broken. Inside each one is a pile of very small bones. But there are only 4 of them. Where is child # 5?
Detective Bobbie Gentry is summoned to Savannah to help work this very cold case. A serial killer ... Nick Slade's father ... is still on the loose ... still making it a priority to kill Bobbie in order to make his son angry enough to kill. Nick still has nightmares about becoming like his father.
Over the next few days, parents of the lost children begin to die .. in a horrible, gruesome manner. And no one is talking .... secrets are buzzing around like flies at a picnic.
What happened 32 years ago? Why were these children taken? What connects them to each other? And why is the secret of where they went just now becoming public knowledge? And why is the on-the-run serial killer hanging around now?
Bobbie and Nick are going to have to go back to the beginning and start putting all the puzzle pieces together. But their time is running short and the serial killer maybe moving up his timeline.
This is the 3rd book in the series ..and it's a doozie. I strongly recommend and suggest you read this series from the very beginning. Bobbie's and Nick's stories start in Book 1 and it's something you don't want to miss. THE COLDEST FEAR does okay as a stand alone. though.
I have come to expect so much from Debra Webb's books ... suspense and mystery ... strong characters .... evil killers .... and a little romance here and there. This one does not disappoint.
I'm really looking forward to the next one .....THE LONGEST SILENCE.
I wish to thank Debra Webb / Harlequin (US & Canada) / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
