8 bodies down.
8 more lives at stake. Investigator Carrie Kintz is new blood with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation in Anchorage. But with a serial killer on the loose, there’s no easing into the job. It’s sink or swim. The only clues to help law enforcement stop this madman are the taunts he drops into crossword puzzles across the country–always in the same 8 DOWN position. Carrie is desperate to prove her worth to the force and the community by catching the killer. But when she discovers signs that these deaths are just the tip of the iceberg in a frighteningly elaborate cyberattack, it’s time to admit she needs help. Calling in security specialist Scott Patteson for his expertise seems like the right move–until Carrie realizes that he may be a dangerous distraction for her heart. With her faith fading in the face of horror and uncertainty and her career in danger of ending, this is no time for flirtation. But with a killer who is determined to prove that he’s smarter than everyone else, it may be impossible to fight both the madman and their feelings for each other… Put on your parkas as we head into a cold world of cybercrime, and hang on for the ride! Kimberley Woodhouse once again takes us on a nail-biter of a ride, and you won’t want to quit until you’ve read the last page!” –Jaime Jo Wright, author of The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater“An amazing, breath-stealing, knuckle-biting thrill of a ride!” –Lynette Eason, award-winning, best-selling suspense author

My Thoughts
I could hardly put this book down! From start to finish it was fast paced, mysterious, and action packed. I loved the premise with an investigator and a cyber expert who team up to catch a serial killer. I am also a huge crossword buff and loved how Woodhouse worked that thread into the story throughout. I won’t look at a crossword the same way again. I must admit it hit pretty close to home with our modern day cyber attacks and AI news. There is a romance but this book was so much bigger than that. The romance was done well and I enjoyed that. It was definitely a suspenseful and stressful (in a good way) story. I am a huge fan of books and movies in this genre and am excited to know there is a third book coming. The only thing that I regretted was that I had not read the first one in the series before starting this. You can definitely read this as a stand alone but I don’t recommend it only because the cases in all three books seem to tie together. I already have book one in my hot little hands and will be catching up before book three arrives in the fall. If you love crime stories and suspense this one just might be right up your alley.About the Author
