My Perspective ~

The third in the Roughwater Ranch Cowboys series, Cold Case Connection can easily be read as a stand alone. Connections from prequels are well defined and easily understood. This is another fast paced and unpredictable suspense story that kept me hooked throughout. A murderer has struck twice in the same circle of friends, and with no clues to his identity the author takes us back to the events surrounding the first murder committed several years ago. 

Characters in this series are likeable and realistic, and it's easy to feel swept away and a part of their lives. That is not to say that all characters are upstanding and honest.   Relationships are strained as events from the past have not been redeemed, but forgiveness becomes a strong point in this book. 

Dana Mentink has a talent for keeping her readers interested and involved in her suspense stories. There is no time for boredom as action and mystery lurk around every corner, and the plot moves along swiftly. I love these books for numerous reasons. They're easy to read, fast moving, and they take me away from the more pressing issues in my life. Highly recommend, and looking forward to the fourth in this series!
