A crisp confident and roundly satisfying novel the characters simply sparkle with life. This is a meaty police procedural I couldnt put down. Jenny London Ebony Press.Claire Stibbe has written another corker of a crime thriller that takes hold and wont let go. Slick and exciting with tons of twists and turns it kept me riveted until the end. I sincerely hope this series keeps on coming. Celia Markham Booksage.This is an addicting read. I rarely give a book a five star rating unless it consistently hits the bulls-eye. Dead Cold is all that and so much more. Southwest Book Reviews
