"What deadly secrets are in the local parks around Springville?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Stone Cold Heart
Laura Griffin

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted March 29, 2019

Romance Suspense

The human bones found in a nearby park would be enough to disturb any small town, but Springville is still reeling from the disappearance of the police chief's grandniece, Kaylin Baird, fourteen months ago. Detective Nolan Hess knows he needs an expert, so he contacts forensic anthropologist, Dr. Sara Lockhart, to assist with identification. Unfortunately, as evidence mounts up, it appears they have more than just a missing persons case. Worse yet, has Sara now found herself the target of a deadly killer? STONE COLD HEART is the 13th book in the Tracers series but the story can easily be read as a standalone. Laura Griffin has loosely connected all of the Tracers books through the Delphi Center. However, each story focuses on a different couple although we do get to see prior characters appear in the story lines. Laura Griffin always crafts extraordinary characters that live with you long past the last page is turned, and STONE COLD HEART is no exception. Sara is a great heroine! She's intelligent, spunky, and willing to forge her own path. Her dedication to her work is admirable, and the discussion of the work she did in Guatemala only made me love her more. Nolan is the perfect hero for her, a man just as driven for justice as she is- but more importantly, one who will stand by and let her be herself without judgement. Laura Griffin is a master of the romantic suspense genre and she proves it once again with STONE COLD HEART! The mystery in STONE COLD HEART is intriguing, as Laura Griffin carefully builds the suspense. The setting of the parks and caves is the perfect backdrop for the story line as it accentuates the already heightened sense of danger. Laura Griffin is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors and STONE COLD HEART is yet another stellar hit from her!

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin “delivers another top-notch thriller" (RT Book Reviews) in her beloved Tracers series, about a leading forensic anthropologist who uncovers eerie clues in a high-stakes case that threatens to deliver her to the doorstep of a cold-blooded murderer. When local rock climbers stumble upon abandoned human bones in a remote Texas gorge, Sara Lockhart is the first to get the call. She has a reputation as one of the nation’s top forensic anthropologists, and police detective Nolan Hess knows she is just the expert he needs to help unravel this case. Although evidence is scarce, Nolan suspects the bones belong to a teenage climber who vanished last summer. But as Sara unearths strange clues, she finds chilling similarities to a case from her past—a case that now threatens to rock Nolan’s community. While Sara digs deep for answers, the stakes rise higher as another young woman disappears without a trace. Investigators work against the clock as Sara races to discover the truth, even if her harrowing search brings her face to face with a stone-cold killer. With her signature breathless pacing and suspenseful twists and turns, Stone Cold Heart demonstrates why “Laura Griffin never fails to put me on the edge of my seat” (USA TODAY).

You know even though this book is a standalone, seeing the other characters just makes me go back and re-read. They are ALL so good!
