Suspenseful

Profiling a serial killer while being hunted by another one from their past. River Ryland and Tony St. Clair are former BAU profilers now working as private investigators because of an FBI case that went horribly wrong. Both are still recovering from the trauma of their past when they accept the case of a teen who has been missing for four years. Besides the trauma from her own life, River has moved in with her mom to help assist her with dealing with Alzheimer's disease. There is a strong faith element in this story with both characters and their relationship with God. The action is full of suspense and intrigue. I also like that we get insight into the mind of the serial killer as we experience what he is going through when he chooses to kill and the mental illness that he deals with.

Riveting suspense

Having read several books by Nancy Mehl, I was looking forward to this first book in her new Ryland & St. Clair series. Cold Pursuit did not disappoint. Former FBI profilers River and Tony, new to the private investigation business, are on the case of a boy who has been missing for four years. The main characters are competent, tenacious, and realistic, with their flaws and foibles evident along with their strengths. There are several surprise twists to the quick-moving plot and information regarding synesthesia that kept my interest high. I loved how the end of the book leaves the reader hanging regarding one of the threads throughout the book; more intrigue to come. I can't wait for the next book in the series. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.
