I love a strong female protagnist and twisty-turny books! And Carla Kovach's Gina Harte series certainly fits that.
Synopsis
She shuts the door behind her, relieved to be in the safety of her own home. But tonight her house is the most dangerous place she could be. Someone has been waiting for her, and they know she’s home alone…
Sasha loves her job finding accommodation for homeless people, and she’s proud of the small but cosy apartment she rents on the good side of town. She’s worked hard to leave her dark past behind her and make amends for the accident that still haunts her memories. She knows she was innocent, though she’s still careful about who and what she tells of her old life. But not all secrets stay hidden forever…
When her phone rings loudly in the middle of the night, Sasha fears what she’ll hear when she picks up – a deathly silence. It’s happened every night for weeks. Is it a childish prank, or a chilling warning that someone has uncovered her secret?
But the news of a body found at a local shelter means her worst nightmare has come true. It can’t be a coincidence that evidence related to the victim has been found at the same location where the most devastating moment of Sasha’s life took place.
Days later, a second body is found and Sasha’s heart pounds wildly as she takes in the victim’s unforgettable green eyes. She hasn’t seen her in a long time, but she’d know her old friend anywhere. She was the only other person who knew Sasha’s secret, so how can Sasha prove her innocence now?
Sasha doesn’t know who’s coming for her, but she’s certain of one thing: she’s next on the list…
Fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter and Clare Mackintosh will love Their Cold Hearts – a totally thrilling and addictive crime thriller that will have you up all night!
My Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Firstly I was pretty mad at Gina for leaving her grandchild with people not known to the mother of the child, but I have serious trust issues.
I was pretty grateful for my back pain this past weekend because it allowed me to read this compelling book. The twists and turns, the guessing game of whodunnit kept me on my toes. The slight 'stalkerish' aspect was super creepy (but in a good way) Told in multiple POV and the unknown killer's POV too gives great perspective on the story line.
As always Carla touches on some real life topics, this time housing crises and homelessness and I finish her books having learned something.
This is book 13 in the Gina Harte series and I'm so keen to keep reading this series because as mad as she mad me in this book I want to see where her story goes.
