Another amazing book written by Karen,

Cold blooded liar follows Kit McKittrick as she attempts to solve them users of up to 8 young girls. With Baz Constantine by her side, she follows her gut instincts on a psychiatrist named Sam Reeves. All he is trying to do is help.

Kit and Baz follow the leads given and uncover one of the bodies. This begins their chase.

When there’s a spanner thrown into their investigation they are thrown off course.

Who knew the twist at the end?

I honestly thought I’d worked out the accomplice early on in the book but how wrong was I! I read this easily in 2 sittings and I can’t wait for the next instalment!

I absolutely love Karen rose books and this one did not disappoint. Fabulous characters and plot j highly recommend this author to everyone. Amazing as always.

Cold Blooded Liar by Karen Rose

Detective Kit McKittrick works homicide in the hope that one day she will find out what happened to her foster sister, Wren. When a tip comes in from an anonymous caller it leads her to the body of a girl whose murder has the hallmarks of a serial killer that has been at large for almost twenty years. It also leads her to the source of the information: Dr Sam Reeves.
Karen Rose has done it again by coming up with such a brilliant character in Detective Kit McKittrick and her determination to one day solve the mystery on the disappearance of her foster sister..
A gripping plot with a few twists along the way. Great ending.

This was a fantastic crime read with a memorable protagonist in Kit, the homicide detective who decided to join the police after the death of her foster sister aged fifteen and who has a reputation for solving cold cases along with the current ones. I loved how her current case involved a long time serial killer so there was a lot of history but a lot of current events too including a pathological liar who it’s really hard to tell if he is the key to this or not. Kit herself is a solid character who trusts few people so it was interesting to see how she responded to someone she instinctively liked, going against all her natural tendencies, yet isn’t sure if he is involved with the murders. The crime itself was really well told, the characters were varied but with great dynamics and it felt, I hope, that this is gearing up to be a series, if so it’s a fantastic start and I’d definitely read more. 9/10
