Inside the Series
Title: DEAD COLD
Author: Jennifer Chase
Publisher: JEC Press
Pages: 326
Genre: Crime Thriller
BOOK BLURB:
What happens when one California community has a disturbing spike in
homicides? It catapults cops into a deadly game of murder. Frozen human
body parts hideously displayed at the crime scenes offers a horrifying
interpretation that only a sadistic serial killer could design—and
execute.
On the hunt for a complex serial killer, vigilante detective Emily
Stone must face her most daring case yet. Stone’s proven top-notch
profiling skills and forensic expertise may not be enough this time.
Young and ambitious, Detective Danny Starr, catches the homicide
cases and discovers that it will test everything he knows about police
work and the criminal mind. Can he handle these escalating cases or will
the police department have to call in reinforcements—the FBI.
Emily Stone’s covert team pushes with extreme urgency to unravel the
grisly clues, while keeping their identities hidden from the police.
With one last-ditch effort, Stone dangles someone she loves as bait to
draw out the killer. She then forces the killer out of their comfort
zone with her partner Rick Lopez, and with help from a longtime friend
Jordan Smith. A revelation of the serial killer’s identity leaves the
team with volatile emotions that could destroy them.
The killer continues to taunt and expertly manipulate the police, as
well as Stone’s team, and as they run out of time—they leave behind
everyone and everything—in Dead Cold.

WHAT I THINK: BEWARE: Frozen body parts. That made you perk up, didn't it? Well this is a stand alone book, book six, but you will find yourself wanting to read more of the Emily Stone thrillers. We have a serial killer that will put you on the edge of your chair. Not only that but the hairs on your arms may stand up a bit. If you are a little squeamish, you might want to re-think reading this one. Your heart will start to beat faster, you may get a little paranoid that this could really happen. It could happen and it does happen. That is what is so exciting about reading this and the other books from Jennifer Chase. It's reality, fiction of course, but you begin to feel the reality of it as you turn the pages. You may even get a little hesitant about turning the next page. What will happen next? The setting is a Californian community. The serial killer is leaving body parts at the scenes of the crimes, frozen body parts, after he lures them, tortures and neatly cuts them up. Now are looking over your shoulder as you read this late at night? This isn't your ordinary serial killer. This one is smart and cunning. As Emily, Rick and Jordan go about hunting the killer, they find this isn't as easy as they thought it would be. The pace of the story is fast and the action is constant. Never a dull moment with Emily Stone.
I liked that the book wasn't set up as normal read. Instead of chapter numbers it has dates and times. That made it easy to keep up with what was going on. The book is unusual in the fact that Emily and her friends working and solving cases, don't take the credit. They happily let the law enforcement to take the credit.
Will Emily and her friends solve the mystery as to who the serial killer is and what is making him do the gruesome killings he's doing? But time is of the essence. Another victim may be at the killer's hands as you are turning the pages. Can Emily get to him before he gets to his next victim? So if you love out of the ordinary mysteries with lots of suspense and twists and turns, join forces with Emily and become an arm chair detective. I warn you, you open the book and you are there, frozen body parts and all!
