Mystery

Detective Kristen Conner is visiting her sister in New York and goes for a run in negative temperature, trying out her new running gear. Her sister told her not to go, so when she finds a man dying, and tries to save him, she figures she should have listened and stayed in, instead she ruined her new gear. Worse, she discovers the man who murdered him saw her and her life is in danger. Not just from any random killer though, this was a hit by the Red Mafya. But that is not enough for Detective Conner, when she goes back to Chicago, her mother's neighbor is murdered, and Kristen knows who the main suspect is and all the players in the case. So even though she is not allowed to be directly involved, she keep discovering new information on the case. The only problem is it's very hard to work (or not work) a case when of group of deadly, trained killers is trying to end you and will kill anyone who gets in their way. So while trying to protect her family and friends and discover who murdered her neighbor, all she seems to do is endanger herself more. Detective Kristen Conner is a strong female character who runs way more than anyone I know. But it does help keep her healthy and able to get away from everyone chasing her. She has a great supporting network work of family members you can't help but love and an on-again-off-again FBI boyfriend who causes her lots of unnecessary drama at times. You will enjoy reading about all of them and look forward to the next book in the Kristen Conner series, just as I am. COLD AS ICE by M.K. Gilroy is a thrilling chase against time and numerous enemies to catch killers and stop a Mafya war that is killing people by the dozens. An exciting, intriguing, mystery, COLD AS ICE delivers an entertaining hit with great characters.

SUMMARY

What can go wrong on a run on in Central Park on your last day of vacation? Even if it is brutally cold? Everyone told Detective Kristen Conner to stay inside, which guaranteed she would go outside—and stumble onto a gang murder that puts her in the cross-hairs of a Russian “Red Mafyia” hit man. Back in Chicago, murder strikes closer to home. Just down the street from where her mom lives, a popular schoolteacher, solid citizen, and great guy—he shovels snow for widows and volunteers to work with underprivileged kids—is found dead. It was supposed to look like an accident, but crime scene investigators discover more than one killing blow to the back of his head. When Detective Kristen Conner lands the case, she knows from day one who the key suspect is. That’s simple. The person most likely to kill you is someone close . . . someone you know and love. But his wife? The nice lady down the street. How could that be possible? Kristen is about to discover there is more violence beneath the surface of the working-class neighborhood she grew up than she ever dreamed possible. She’s also about to discover that when the Red Mafyia wants you dead, there is no place to hide. You better be ready to fight. Mix in her on-again, off-again relationship with FBI Agent Austin Reynolds, and Kristen Conner is once again swept into a world of danger, intrigue, and a confusing love life.
