Cold Girl: A BC Blues crime novel

Cold Girl: A BC Blues crime novel by R.M. Greenaway


4 Stars for the book Cold Girl by Rm Greenway. I’d also like to thank NetGallery for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

At first I wasn’t for sure how I felt about this book, and the author’s writing style was something I wasn’t use to, but once I figured that out, I settled right in and started enjoying the book. The characters were fully developed, well thought out, and you could see them very clearly in your mind.

Set in Northern British Columbia, the two main characters are Leith and Dion, both having their own problems, are working this case of the death of a young woman, who is and up-and-coming singer who Leith has been tracking a serial killer who is being called the “Pickup Killer”. Leith and Dion form a working hate relationship in trying to solve the mystery they are both there to help solve. Dion was injured in an accident that killed his partner and left him with some brain damage, while Leith is slowly rising through the ranks. The viewpoint of this book is from both of them. There are a lot of suspects, and of course everyone is lying or covering for someone else. This to me was a bit too much and seemed to weigh the story down. I felt like I needed a map as to who was who.

This wasn’t a fast pace read, not with all the character’s you had to keep track of, but I did feel this was a good read, with great description, of not only the characters but also for the location, and could actually feel the bitter cold that is known for Canada. There are several surprisingly twists and turns that kept me guessing as to who it might be. There was however some unanswered questions that will be hopefully answered in the next book, since this is the first book in the BC Blues Crime series.
