Review: Cold Girl: A BC Blues crime novel

Cold Girl: A BC Blues crime novel by R.M. Greenaway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is murder in a very cold climate.

Young girls are being killed. It's a serial killer know as The Pickup Killer.
So when Kiera Rilkoff, a local singer on her way to fame is also murdered, the first impression is that she is the new victim of The Pickup Killer.
But things are not what they seem, and the relationship between Keira and her band was beyond complicated.

Investigating these murders are the local police as well as Dion, Leith and Bosko, who are in the Hazeltons area to help solve the case.
Dion is a troubled man. He was involved in an accident and suffered brain damage. He has been demoted and is slowly returning to work, full of frustration and anger at his new situation.
Leith is also an angry man, but that is just the way he is. And Bosko, the highest ranking of them is an enigma to all.
There are also 2 women in the team: Renée Giroux, the local sergeant and Jayne Spacey, the local constable, each with her own agenda.

Don't expect a fast paced book. This is a slow read, worth every moment. The description of the land where it all takes place is incredible, the cold and the cold atmosphere get to you.

I always think I have the killer figured out, but in this case the motive for the killing were completely out of my league. The ending twists and then twists again. So good!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
