NadeneI received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The First Girl by Jennifer Chase is the eleventh book 11 in the Detective Katie Scott series. The previous book, Her Dying Kiss, left readers with unanswered questions regarding Katie's missing fiancée. This instalment not only provided answers to that mystery, but it also gave readers the chance to experience another nail-biting tale. Katie and her partner while trying to solve a cold case involving a missing person finds themselves on the trial of a diabolical serial killer. Can Katie and her partner find the killer before he claims another victim? A must-read for fans of police procedurals. Cold Cases are the speciality of Detective Katie Scott and her partner, Sean McGaven. Known for their 100% solve rate, complex cold cases are the assigned to them. Their latest case has them puzzled, threatening their 100% solve rate. This latest case involves a young woman, named Abigail Andrews, who went missing fifteen years ago. They found her car, however, no trace of her or her dog. Meanwhile, Katie struggles with the fact that her fiancée is still missing without a trace. Despite her struggle, she knows she needs to focus on solving this latest case. The tale that unfolds was twisty, addictive, and entertaining. The story was well-paced and fascinating, with a complex mystery that possessed many moving parts. At first, they seemed unconnected, but the deeper into the story one goes, the connections become clear. It was a pleasure reconnecting with Katie and Sean, as well as their colleagues. Now, the killer in this case has been a very busy bee. His ability to stay one step ahead of law enforcement shows his astuteness. However, his arrogance would be his downfall. There were instances in the story where one feared for the main characters. These chilling scenes gave way to many nail-biting moments. The suspense increased with every page turn. This was not an easy book to set aside, be prepared for a single sitting read. Fans of police procedural and thrillers will want to grab themselves a copy of The First Girl. I look forward to more cases with this dynamic duo. The author kept me guessing from start to finish while delivering a well-developed tale.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
