A thrilling new suspense novel from the bestselling author of The Perfect Murder that fans of Jayne Ann Krentz and Laura Griffin won’t want to miss! A cold case is heating up, and with another body turning up, one woman is hot on the trail of a killer…with the help of the rancher who hired her to deliver justice.
When Kade Logan said goodbye to his estranged wife eight years ago, he never thought it would be the last time he saw her alive. Now her car has been hauled out of a nearby lake and Kade is determined to track down the man who murdered her. Enter Eleanor Bowman, a talented private investigator who’s about to stir up a hornet’s nest on his Colorado ranch.
With old scandals still buzzing about his late wife’s many affairs and new violence erupting, Kade is faced with the discovery of another beautiful woman’s body. Are the two killings linked? Who is the man who seduced, then murdered both victims? Ellie believes they are dangerously close to the truth.
From corporate Denver high-rises to posh Vail mansions, Kade and Ellie sense the killer is closing in again, and this time Ellie is the target. Kade must risk everything to save the woman he’s coming to love—before she becomes the next one to die . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Martin (One Last Kiss) pairs a widowed rancher and a PI in the outstanding romantic thriller that launches her Blood Ties, the Logans series. Eight years before the start of the novel, rancher Kade Logan's unfaithful wife, Heather, was murdered, and the killer was never found. Now her car is rediscovered, and Kade contacts Nighthawk Security to see if their consultants can shed any light on the situation. Enter Nighthawk investigator Ellie Bowman. Posing as a substitute ranch cook at Kade's Diamond Bar Ranch, Ellie grills the other employees and townspeople. Then comes a series of attacks on both animals and employees—and another woman dies in circumstances identical to Heather's. As Ellie and Kade frantically search for the perpetrator, they give in to their explosive chemistry. Martin, a master of the genre, ratchets up the tension throughout, casting numerous red herrings across the trail until the murderer is identified and some righteous justice is served. Her plucky heroine and gruff hero, meanwhile, provide a solid dose of romance. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough.
Customer Reviews
Excellent
Love the story of Kade and Ellie. Twists and turns, plenty of danger and a whole lotta lovin’.
Lots of pages
It was pretty good but moved kind of slow in the beginning
Had me hooked from start to finish!
Great start to a new series. Really enjoyed the characters and found them very relatable. This book had me hooked from the beginning and kept me on my toes right up to the end. The tension was palpable, and I thought the mystery aspect of the story was very well written. While Kade was a bit hard for me to love at times, I admired his dedication and loved the slow burn chemistry between him and Ellie. Definitely pick this one up if you’re in the mood for a romantic crime mystery. Excited to read more from this author! *I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
