Thank you for the opportunity to preview Bitterfrost.
This will be the first in a series. Police procedural written in the voice of a retired hockey player Jimmy. He’s had a rough life and now he drives a Zamboni for a local hockey franchise. He’s mostly a loner and gets by with his job and memories.
One night he goes to the local bar. He has his one drink. He wakes up the next morning and is covered in blood and has no idea what has happened. He does know he was in an argument at the bar but after that he recalls nothing. But one thing he does know is that something happened because not only is there blood but he has a black eye and his hand is bleeding and damaged.
The local police have discovered the bodies of several men and they are beaten to death. They have a case to solve and soon they arrive at Jimmy’s door.
Jimmy does not remember anything but he does know he is not going to admit to these murders. He believes he is innocent. He turns to his longtime friend who is a lawyer to help him and she is the only one who believes he is not guilty.
But this crime has the markings for a set up but only Jimmy can prove that. With no memory it is going to be hard and who would set him up for this crime.
He faces a maximum sentence and his life is on the line whatever is left of it anyway.
Good book. 3.5 stars

This one is a page turner. First time I’ve read Bryan Gurley and it won’t be the last. Interesting plot and well written characters

This was a strong start to the Bitterfrost thriller, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the concept of this. It was a strong opening chapter and was invested in what was happening in this world. Bryan Gruley wrote this well and left me wanting to read more in this series.

Wow what an awesome fast paced, suspenseful, crime legal thriller! I really enjoyed the back and forth with this book!! I'm excited to read more in this series as the books come out! Highly recommend!

This was such a good book. I loved the story and the writing so much. The characters were great and the story flowed smoothly. Will definitely read more books by this author in the future.

Jimmy se encarga de cuidar la pista de patinaje para un equipo de hockey. Un día, se despierta con dolor de cabeza, sin recordar lo que sucedió la noche anterior. No sabe cómo llegó a su casa y está cubierto de sangre. Al mismo tiempo, se encuentra un cuerpo y el padre de un chico denuncia su desaparición.

Pronto, la policía comienza a conectar las piezas del caso y Jimmy se convierte en el principal sospechoso. Solo con la ayuda de Devyn, una amiga abogada, podrá demostrar su inocencia. ¿O acaso será él el culpable?
