THE GIRLS IN THE SNOW by Stacy Green

 

Another great by the author of THE DELTA CROSSROADS TRILOGY, Stacy Green. It's been a few years since I read a book by this author but I won't wait so long again. This book was a page turner. A real edge of your seat thriller. 

A single decision had altered the course of Nikki's life. She'd snuck out after her parents had gone to bed, longing to see John. She'd hopped into his waiting car without a shred of guilt, unaware she'd seen her parents for the last time. If she'd just stayed home, she knew they'd still be here. 

Nikki was only sixteen years old when her world was turned upside down. Nothing would ever be ok again. She couldn't wait to get out of Stillwater and leave the past behind. All the horrific things that had happened there. The brutal murder of her parents. The subsequent trial and conviction of the boy who had killed them. Now twenty years later she's back. Investigating the murder of two fifteen year old girls. She'd been working the Frost murders and thought these two might have been his work. Frost has killed five women and this was not his work. These young girls were murdered by someone local.

This is one very good thriller. The twists and turns will leave you wanting much more. Many more answers. It's almost like two different stories going on at once that will ultimately be tied together. One man started a chain reaction that will not stop until he is caught.  Who killed Madison and Kaylee. Best friends and both dead. Who killed Nikki's parents all those years ago. All will be answered. Things will come to light that will make your skin crawl. Some pretty dark things. If you think someone is innocent think again. They might be the person you will eventually hate. The one who caused so much pain. Did an innocent man go to prison or is he really guilty? 

This is such a good book. It leaves no stone unturned. No loose ends. It's all tied up and leaves you ready for another Nikki Hunt? She is definitely one tough FBI agent who has worked hard to get where she is. Don't mess with her. She's very good at her job.

Thank you #NetGalley, #StacyGreen, #Bookouture for this ARC. This is my own review.

5/5 stars and a very high recommendation.
