Review: Cold Malice

✩✩✩✩✩

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Steve (Mac) McKenzie is leading a task force investigating a series of malicious crimes in the heart of Washington, DC. His undercover work in an antigovernment compound twenty years earlier is related—as is the sweet, innocent girl he befriended back then. Now that girl is a beautiful woman, and she has something to hide.

Tess Fallon spent a lifetime trying to outrun her family's bigotry, but someone is using the anniversary of her father's death to carry out evil crimes and she's terrified her younger brother is involved. She sets out to uncover the truth and comes face-to-face with a man she once idolized, a man she thought long dead. As the crimes escalate, it becomes obvious the killer has an agenda, and Tess and Mac are running out of time to stop him.

Will the perpetrator use a decades-old dream of revolution to attack the federal government? And will the fact that Tess and Mac have fallen hard for one another give a stone-cold killer the power to destroy them?

Review: Cold Malice is an older book from the Cold Justice series, and one I hadn't read yet. I loved it. It's fast paced right from the start and the suspense is great. Sometimes Tess's family connections felt a little confusing, but the twists and turns are so many that it's almost impossible to pinpoint the culprit until almost the very end. 

Although Cold Malice is book eight in the series, it can be perfectly read as a stand alone (you'll for sure recognise some of the secondary characters from previous books if you've read them). For some reason I enjoyed a lot more these older books in the series vs. the most recent spin-offs, so I'll be checking for any others I haven't read yet.

 

If you love suspense with a romantic twist, then Cold Malice is a wonderful book and I recommend it. 

Happy readings!
