Review: The Storm by Amanda McKinney

The snow is dropping in Berry Springs... and so are the bodies. On a pitch-black wintry night, Detective Dean Walker finds a man in the middle of an icy road, with a bullet between his eyes—a murder that is eerily similar to his father’s, which was never solved. Coincidence? No, Dean doesn’t believe in coincidences. He also doesn’t believe in love at first sight, until he meets the victim’s wife. Psychologist Heidi Novak is hardly settling into her new mansion in the small, country town of Berry Springs when she receives a late-night visit by the handsome Dean Walker. Seconds after learning that her husband has been murdered, gunshots explode around her and it becomes apparent that she is the next target. With a massive winter storm looming, Dean races to find the killer and keep Heidi safe, while facing a long a list of suspects, including Heidi’s arrogant sister-in-law and a local, crusty cowboy. As the evidence mounts, Dean becomes more convinced than ever that his father’s murder is connected to the death of Heidi’s husband. And he can’t help but think . . . will Heidi be the second love he loses to the ice-cold killer? Review: This has got to be one of my favourite Berry Springs books. Amanda McKinney knows how to spin a yarn full of intrigue and mystery with that all important dash of romance mixed in. This is a perfect example and totally unputdownable!
