I devoured this thriller by Leslie Wolfe and have added Detective Kay Sharp to my list of really awesome female protagonists! You can purchase Missing girl at Frozen Falls here. Thank you bookouture for having me on this tour!
She lay in the frosted grass behind Frozen Falls. Her eyes were wide open, and the wind blew her hair, ash-blond locks reflecting the blue sky. Her face, beautiful even in death, was pale, as if the bitter cold from the mountain had drained the color from her cheeks.
On a crisp autumn day in the small town of Mount Chester, Detective Kay Sharp comes face-to-face with the past she has spent the last decade running from. Her ex-husband, Brian, has been accused of murder.
Seeing Brian brings a flood of painful memories—he betrayed her in the worst possible way. Yet despite her heartbreak, Kay is willing to put her career on the line to prove his innocence.
Brian is accused of killing Kay’s former best friend, Rachel—the woman he cheated on Kay with, getting her pregnant. The blood drains from Kay’s face; she received a voicemail from Rachel two days ago. “I hope you’ll forgive me,” she’d said, her voice fraught with tears. “I know I have no right, but I need you.” Kay’s stomach plummets. By the time she called back, Rachel was already dead. Could Brian really be the murderer?
Kay faces pressure from her crime team, who don’t want her working on an investigation so close to home. But she’s willing to risk everything—she vows to get justice for Rachel.
When Kay visit’s Rachel’s mother, she uncovers a heart-stopping discovery that makes the case even more critical: Rachel’s eight-year-old daughter, Holly, is missing. Could the little girl still be alive?
Up against the most complex—and most personal—case of her career, can she save precious Holly before it’s too late? And will Kay’s determination to find out the truth lead to justice—or be her undoing?
Thrillers don’t get more gripping than this! You’ll speed through this addictive, twist-filled page-turner with a racing heart. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Karin Slaughter and Rachel Caine.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love a book with strong, capable female protagonists, and Kay Sharp who is a female detective fits that role perfectly!
Kay's narcissistic cop ex husband shows up at her precinct begging her for help because he's been arrested for his fiancées murder! Not only his fiancée, she was Kay's former best friend who he cheated on Kay with, so very close to home!
When they realise that his 8 year old daughter Holly is missing too time is of the essence!
Kay was such an awesome character and her partner Elliot ( hopefully, truly more than just at work, if she gives him a proper chance) was a genuinely nice Texan guy. Holly's storyline was definitely tension inducing because she's a child and as a mother her story scared me, but Holly was a brave little girl who showed strength and incredible smarts.
This was a tense, gripping and fast paced book that kept me on the edge of my seat for the duration of reading it.
This is book 5 in the Kay Sharp series, while you don't miss any storyline I always say to get to know the characters properly- read the rest! And I have to listen to my own advice and catch up!
