Review: Revenge Served Cold by Jackie Fullerton

Revenge Served Cold by Jackie Fullerton


Book Description:
Kathy Spence awakens in the middle of the night and finds herself in a living nightmare. Her husband has been run down and she is the primary suspect. With an eyewitness to the crime and proof that her car was the murder weapon, it appears to be an open and shut case. Terrified for her future, Kathy turns to amateur sleuth Anne Marshall for help. Believing in Kathy s innocence, Anne launches her own investigation, uncovering proof of a conspiracy that reaches from Kathy s past and threatens her own life. In a race against time, Anne must count on her close friends and even the ghost of her father to help her bring a killer to justice before it s too late

Here's What I Think:
This story grabs me right away. The first chapter throws you right into the crime in question, then takes you back a few days to the events leading up to it, and finally back to the aftermath. It was a very fast read, engaging although choppy at times. I could follow everything but the father's ghost. It just didn't seem to fit as seamlessly as the rest of the story. All in all, I think it was a good plot. It is light enough to take on your summer cruise, without being boring. The story is easy to track and was fun to read. I will be interested to read something more from Jackie Fullerton.
