Stacy Green

A murder from 20 years ago is somehow linked to a murder in the present. I liked the fact that the author introduced a serial killer but didn't divulge a ton about him/her... lots of fodder for subsequent books! Really well-written - the only criticism is that for a well-regarded FBI analyst, Nikki Hunt sure missed a lot. I suppose you can argue that the past interfered with her abilities - but she was so right on in some cases. That part didn't make any sense. But still, I'll be checking out the rest of the series.… (more)

I will be reading more in the Nikki Hunt series.

Stacy Green, a new to me author who I picked up because of my love for and recommendation by author Lisa Regan, is a great writer who tells a good story.

The Girls in the Snow follows special agent Nikki Hunt back to her hometown of Stillwater, Minnesota, where her past and her parents' murders become front and center as the man accused of murdering them is looking to be exonerated. While hot on the trail of the person who killed two teenagers and then a working girl/dancer in Stillwater, Nikki wrestles with her conscience while trying to stay focused. Were her memories of the night her parents were killed real? Had the people she trusted then, who seemed to also be at the center of the two teenagers' murders now, guilty?

This is a dual storyline that I didn't see ending the way it did. One part of the story I figured would happen, but the second who-done-it part, not so much. Okay, not at all.

So much fun here. If you like fast-paced, female-driven, realistic cop stories, Nikki Hunt and The Girls in the Snow by Stacy Green is for you. I'm excited to see what's up next for Nikki (wow, I make her sound real LOL). Kudos to the author for that!… (more)

Can it be possible that book #2 is even more riveting than the first? Yes. Not sure what it is, maybe the author's confidence is shining through, but special agent Nikki Hunt has more gumption, more pizzaz, and more grit in this sequel. One Perfect Grave (not sure of that title though if I'm being honest), is a great follow-up to the Nikki Hunt series.

While wrapping things up from her previous case in Stillwater (the one that came about to start the series), Nikki finds herself with romantic feelings over the brother of the man wrongly convicted of her parents' murders, as well as knee-deep in looking for the killer of a young mother and her son. If that isn't enough, a second young boy turns up missing and his mother is none other than reporter Caitlin Newport, Nikki's nemesis.

There is a lot of action in this one and you will not notice the time ticking as the pages seem to turn themselves. Well done, Stacy Green. I'm looking forward to reading book #3! Keep 'em coming.… (more)
