Chilling Effect
by Melissa F. Miller
“Chilling Effect” is the second in a new series by author Melissa F. Miller. I read (and enjoyed) the series debut, but it’s not necessary to do so before reading this excellent follow-up novel. As in the first book, Aroostine’s Native American background and reliance on her spirit guide for wise advice put a new twist on the typical legal thriller.
Aroostine is supposed to be relaxing on a romantic vacation with her husband, Joe, but she can’t resist getting involved in a case when her boss in Washington, DC calls for a favor. What looks like a routine embezzlement case at a Native American casino turns into a dangerous dance with a killer. Aroostine and Joe work together to tackle this case and once again, Aroostine uses her Native American background to help in solving the case.
I really enjoyed this book and would love to read additional installments in this series. Aroostine is a strong, independent woman and makes a great main character. She is brave, caring, and compassionate and does what she thinks is right, usually ignoring the consequences. Sometimes her husband Joe seems selfish to me, but he really grows personally and in his support of this wife in this book. The case is intriguing and will keep you guessing at who the killer really is. I enjoyed the fast pace and the author’s writing style. I would recommend the book for fans of Thomas Perry or James Doss.
