A review by thenaptimewriter
Stone Cold Heart, Volume 13 by Laura Griffin

5.0

Laura Griffin’s latest release, Stone Cold Heart, was the stellar romantic suspense book I’ve been looking for. Featuring a brilliant forensic anthropologist and a police detective, Stone Cold Heart is intense and sexy, with a mystery and a romance that will keep you flipping pages.

Detective Nolan Hess contacts the famed Delphi Center Crime Lab upon the discovery of human remains in his district. When Sara Lockhart, the aforementioned forensic anthropologist, begins her study, they realize that they have a much bigger case/problem on their hands, and it’s related to a series of missing women in the area.

Laura Griffin writes romantic suspense masterfully. It’s evident that her books are well-researched. Her characters are smart and resourceful, all experts in their fields. The mysteries are well-crafted, each revelation in the case ratcheting up the tension and leading smoothly to the mystery’s culmination. And the romance is sublime, particularly in Cold Stone Heart. The attraction between Nolan and Sara is engaging from the start, despite/partially because neither one of them wants to act on it.

This was a fantastic book.
