Catch your death

Lissa Marie Redmond

Book - 2022

"When Cold Case Detective Lauren Riley's partner, Shane Reese, runs into an old friend, he's invited to a school reunion at a new luxury spa and resort. Lauren's also invited and it sounds like a perfect weekend getaway, except it brings up painful memories for Reese - like the unsolved murder of his high school friend Jessica Toakese seventeen years earlier. The prime suspects will be at the reunion. Among those suspects is Reese, who has kept his involvement a secret from Lauren and the entire police force. As the friends reminisce an intense snowstorm traps them inside and tensions rise. After a heated confrontation, one of the party is brutally murdered and Lauren believes it's connected to Jessica's death.... But who could the murderer be: the jealous husband; the regretful trophy wife; the abused failed actor; the true crime podcast host; the drunken louse; the insecure millionaire; the desperate spa owner... or the Cold Case detective?"--Book cover.

Review by Kirkus Book Review

Two cold-case homicide detectives take on an investigation that strains their partnership to the limit. Now that they've both saved each other's lives, detectives Lauren Riley and Shane Reese of the Buffalo Police Department live together in Lauren's house in a delicately balanced relationship that teeters on the romantic. While they're out gathering information, they run into Reese's high school classmate Chris Sloane, who's opening a luxury spa just south of Ellicottville in New York's Southern Tier snow belt. Soon after Chris invites Reese and Lauren to join a small group of friends at a reunion at his spa, Lauren realizes that a cold-case file she reviewed before Reese joined the squad concerned the murder of one of his high school classmates; the fact that he'd never mentioned his connection to the case shakes her faith in his objectivity. At the spa, Lauren meets the group, which includes Reese's high school sweetheart, Amanda, and her jealous husb Tyler Owstrowski, slimy former football star; podcaster Erica Diaz and her husb and wealthy computer genius Seth Creehan. Erica, who specializes in true-crime stories, claims that she's about to blow open the case of their murdered classmate. That night Erica's throat is cut and a blizzard blows in, cutting off the area and leaving Lauren to manage the case with only a phone connection to the state police, who are busy evacuating stranded motorists. Now that Reese is a possible suspect, Lauren risks her life to get the evidence to prove him innocent. A riveting exploration of the human relationships entangled in a cold case and set against a frozen backdrop. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
