Book Review ~ The Girls in the Snow - A completely unputdownable crime thriller (Nikki Hunt Book 1) by Stacy Green

 



Amazing thriller! If you love great characters with deep problems of their own, a strong sleuth, or a female cop/FBI agent then you are going to love Agent Nikki Hunt. Agent Hunt comes home to Stillwater Minnesota to handle a double homicide. Two girls are found frozen in the woods and one girl, Madison is the daughter of Hunt's former boyfriend, John. While Nikki and her team investigate the girl's murders and try to find the killer, Nikki is also bombarded with a case from years ago.

 

When she was 16 years old her parents were murdered, and it was Mark Todd was convicted of the crime. However, now the case has been opened and new DNA evidence shows that Todd may not be the murderer after all. So, Nikki is bombarded by the protesters, Mark's brother Rory (who is seeking justice), and begins to doubt if she was misled all those years ago by the police.

 

As the story unfolds, Hunt is taken on quite the journey and different suspects come up but, in the end, she learns who truly killed her parents and who killed those girls, and it is not whom we suspect. In fact, her parents and the girls were killed by different people, and we don't see it coming.

 

Stacy Green does a phenomenal job of keeping her readers guessing and wondering who the murderer/murderers are and, in the end, we are totally surprised! She also creates deep characterization with the main characters, giving them true human qualities and showing their flaws fully. Truly a great crafter of thrillers. I would recommend The Girls in the Snow and I can't wait to read many more from this series!
