The Book

When a renowned crime podcaster vanishes without a trace, former FBI behavioral analysts turned private investigators River Ryland and Tony St. Clair are called upon to track her down. As they wade through the evidence she left behind, they unearth a startling connection--she may have discovered the existence of an unknown killer, and he will stop at nothing to carry out a deadly plan.

As the pair delves deeper, they soon find themselves the targets of a relentless enemy determined to silence them. With their lives--and hearts--on the line, can they confront the evil that threatens them before it consumes them both?

The Author

Nancy Mehl lives in Missouri, with her husband Norman, and her puggle, Watson. She's authored over fifty books and is currently at work on a new FBI suspense series for Bethany House Publishing.

All of Nancy's novels have an added touch - something for your spirit as well as your soul. "I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing," Nancy says. "It's a part of me and of everything I think or do. God is number one in my life. I wouldn't be writing at all if I didn't believe that this is what He's called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan especially for your life, and there is nothing you can't overcome with His help."

Book Review

Cold Vengeance is the third book in the Ryland and St. Clair series. While each book in the series has it's own unique story at the center of it and could probably still be enjoyed as a standalone, there are also some things that carry throughout the series as well. As such, I think readers will best be able to appreciate it when read in order. 

Nancy Mehl does such a wonderful job of creating suspense stories that will absolutely keep you on the edge of your seat. This was absolutely no exception. River and Tony find themselves investigating the disappearance of a podcaster who digs into cold cases... and as such, we're giving peeks at a lot of different crimes and a lot of potential suspects to keep us guessing. There were definitely twists and turns throughout that kept me guessing to the end. We also get glimpses into the inner thinking of the bad guys... which definitely adds a layer to creepiness to the overall story. All of that darkness is mixed in with messages of faith that help keep things from getting too dark... and I loved seeing River's faith journey throughout the story. 

If you love a good romantic suspense, this is absolutely a book and series not to miss!
