A review by thekhw
The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James

5.0

I’ve been into thriller books this year and wanted to give The Book of Cold Cases a chance because I’ve seen good reviews, and it sounded like true crime meets the fiction book world, aka something right up my alley. This read certainly lived up to the hype and my expectations.

The Book of Cold Cases focuses on a recently divorced receptionist who runs a true-crime website at night. After encountering the town’s infamous Lady Killer, she offers her an interview to learn more about her version of the events that unfolded decades prior. To her surprise, The Lady Killer grants the interview.

This book was gripping from start to finish and packed with quite a few twists and mysteries. There was also a paranormal element that I had not been expecting that certainly creeped me out, which added to the thrill of the book, of course. The author tastefully writes from two points of view and bounces between decades to help give the readers background and context leading up to the big reveal.

The Book of Cold Cases was a great thriller, and I’m excited to read more books by Simone St. James.
