Same as the rest. FBI, woman - local police and male officers don’t like her. Blah blah blah. She solves the crime. A series is boringly born

This book was a miss for me. I couldn't connect with the characters. The characters made bad decisions and seemed as if they were arresting anyone they laid eyes on.

*** SPOILERS *** summary of whole book to refresh memory
FBI agent Katie Winter is called for a case in her old home town which is very cold and always has snow storms. There are blond hair blue eyed women being murdered and found with chess pieces in their mouths. Katie is paired with an officer (a French man) who was standoffish at first but becomes friendlier).
Katie finds out the man killing the women must have a vendetta against someone that looks like these women. They interview and have different suspects throughout. Katie discovers the man who did it was this guy who lost his parents when he was young and his sister was given responsibilities of taking care of him. She was abusive and locked him in the attack where he only had chess pieces he found to play with. He basically felt like he was killing his sister over and over by killing these women that looked like her (even though he actually already killed her 10 years prior).
Katie gets offered a permanent job to work with that task force.

The book succeeded at placing me in the tundra of a Canadian winter, and making me want to know more about the main characters. Will likely return to this series.

So I watch a lot of detective/cop shows and while this book provides a good story, I didn't feel the suspense I was hoping for. It could be the narration rather than the novel. I think it would make a good TV show.
Unsure if I would read more of this author.

I listened to the audiobook of this one and think the narrators voice ruined it for me. I read the last 12 pages and enjoyed that more than the whole book, simply because of the voice of the narrator. But besides that… I think the author tried TO hard to be descriptive. And it felt very typical to every other suspenseful crime fiction novel.
Nothing stood out ti separate this story from the others. The end didn’t really make me care to want to continue the series.
The only thing I’m really left with wanting to find out is if there’s more to her sisters disappearance. But I could just look up that answer on YouTube.
