Static kling ex-wife

Not a bad read ,but pretty easy to figure out the villain. Actually I couldn't stand the cops in this book. Without the proper evidence they harrassed Mr. Purcell to death. I know its very rare to have a cut and dry murder but their pursuit of this guy really got under my skin. Then after he's committed suicide, they turned to look at his sons. If Caleb hadn't gotten involved with Madison his creepy,weepy ex-wife would have gone happily on her way killing. Madison's step-brothers would have been in the same situation their dad was. Of course there was that drop of blood on Holly that eventually might have led them to the real murderer. I like Brenda Novak's writing and have enjoyed most all her books I have purchased .

Awesome

This book was absolutely awesome! i have read Snow Baby and Baby Business by this author some years back which were pretty good too. And i am now working on the Stillwater Trilogy. The way this book was written, even the characters in the book, had me picking up some more novels by Brenda Novak. I have now put her on my list of favorite authors. She hasn't let me down yet!

WHEN THE PAST WON'T GO AWAY...

The Seattle Police suspect Madison Lieberman's father was the serial killer they called the "Sandpoint Strangler." Madison refuses to believe it. Her father is now dead, and all she wants is the chance to create a new life for herself and her six-year-old child.

Then she discovers something in the crawl space beneath her parent's house. Something that makes her question her father;s innocence. Or the innocence of someone else who's equally close to her...

When another woman turns up dead, crime writer Caleb Trovato wonders whether they're dealing with a copycat killer. Or is the real Sandpoint Strangler still alive? Caleb's sure Madison knows more than she's telling, and he's determined to find out what. But he doesn't expect to fall in love--or to lead Madison and her child into danger....

Not bad

Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about Cold Feet. It was a decent book. The suspense aspect was pretty good. The whole plot was well-planned with lots of twists and turns. Novak presents readers with lots of choices as to who the bad guy is. But along that same line, I didn't like how she revealed the killer. She does a great build-up to it, and then slips this scene in there that just blatantly tells you who it is. The revelation would have been much better suited if she'd waited until the climax of the book.

Aside from that, there just seemed to be something lacking in the book overall. I'm not sure what it was, but the book didn't pull me in as other books have. It was interesting, but not overly so. The romance was so-so. Could have been better. I just expected a bit more from the book. The other Novak book I read was very emotional and sucked you in; this book lacked that pull.

Rating: 3 / 5

Great tense suspense; bad end

Madison has never believed that her father was guilty of the rape and murder of a series of women dubbing him the Sandpoint Strangler until a year after her father's suicide she discovers a box of incriminating items tied to the victims. Could her father have been the monster everyone thought him to be or could this evidence possibly point to one of her half brothers?

The Sandpoint Strangler is credited with 9 victims. When her sister is suddenly missing, Holly contacts her ex-husband true crime writer and former police detective Caleb Trovato to come to her aid. Not wanting to get any more involved with Holly, he reluctantly returns to Seattle. When it is discovered that Susan and another woman were murdered similar to the Sandpoint killings, it looks like either the wrong man was suspected or there is a copy cat in their midst.

Caleb goes to check out Madison and decides to rent her carriage house. Money is tight now that she and her ex-husband have divorced, and she has custody of their daughter. He never felt comfortable with Madison's notoriety. Lots of eye contact and stolen moments later, Madison and Caleb become lovers and soon she has him wondering if the killer is actually not a copy cat but the actual Sandpoint Strangler. As Caleb realizes that he has fallen in love with Madison, he worries about what she will think when he reveals his identity and reason for befriending her. But his relationship with Madison has shocking consequences, as she suddenly is singled out by the strangler.

Novak brings plenty of tension and suspense to this unique story. Of course, the most probable character was revealed as the killer and for that, as a reader, I felt a little cheated.
