A Cold-Hearted Killer Sets a Twisted Trap

Reporter Veronica Lee investigates the story behind a ruthless human trafficking ring after a captive woman’s desperate plea for help sets her on a dangerous quest to unmask a remorseless serial predator.

After the missing woman’s battered body is dumped in downtown Willow Bay, a federal marshal arrives with a terrifying warning for the small town's chief of police: a convicted murderer has resurfaced after decades on the run, and the fugitive has a disturbing connection to Veronica Lee’s troubled family history.

When another woman is abducted, Veronica knows that to save an innocent life, she must find the strength to enter the frozen darkness of the killer’s lair.

Review

★★★★★ Chilling Thriller - This third book in the Veronica Lee series does not disappoint. It continues the exciting adventures of a small-town Florida reporter and includes several favorite characters from Melinda Woodhall's Mercy Harbor series. Was as nicely plotted and twisty as I've come to expect from this author. I will be anxiously waiting for the next installment. Definitely recommend! - Amazon Review

★★★★★ Suspenseful - Reading Melinda Woodhall's thrillers are exciting and such a page turner very hard to put down. - Book Sirens Review

★★★★★ Gripping story - grabs you on page 1 and doesn't let go until page last. A human trafficker known as "the Professor" has been stealing girls off college campuses for decades, holding them for sale and his personal use. If they try to escape, he kills them. No hesitation, no second thoughts, no remorse. - Amazon Review

★★★★ - Well-Written Crime Fiction - Well written with deftly drawn character. It's an intricate plot with twists and turns that lead to a surprising conclusion. - Goodreads Review

4.0 out of 5 stars Another thrilling ride!
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024
Another exciting read from Melinda Woodhall. Veronica Lee has always had questions regarding her family's past but never dreamed that the answers would come the way they do. What a thrilling story this was. Melinda Woodhall is excellent at these police procedural thrillers. The writing is clean and clear and so enjoyable to dissolve into. Can't wait to move on to the next in the series.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This chilling book is so full of horrible things it keeps readers on the edge of their chairs until the end. Ling Lee knows a terrible thing about the father of her daughter Veronica but she can not bring herself to tell her. That is until he comes to Willow Bay and leaves a calling card. This book was so exciting I can not wait to read Book 4. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020
Wow! What a book! This book was very hard to put down. I had to keep reading so I could find out who the bad guys were and what was going to happen next. I seriously don’t want to give anything away because you need to read this book yourself and have some time to absorb everything that went down in this book. Its a-lot to process and I’m just a reader. I couldn’t imagine being Skylar, Veronica, Tenley or even Ling Lee. The twists and revelations in this book were surprising and some things were easy to figure out. The story was well written and wasn’t as drawn out as the last book. Its probably the best book in the series. I’m not sure if this is the last book in the series or not, but fingers crossed there will be another book. I secretly hope there will be an update on Eden, Leo, the kids, and Duke. Every time I read the name Reggie, I think of Eden and wonder how she is doing with being a semi-newlywed and character crossovers are a favorite of mine. This book ended with some things up in the air and I’m hoping the next book will tie things up with another thrilling story for the people of Willow Bay. This book can be read as a standalone, but I encourage you to read the other books in the series before reading this one.

I received an ARC copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Character Driven Story

Willow Bay, Florida, is definitely a place to avoid if you are of a nervous disposition!

Veronica Lee is a successful reporter focusing on a human trafficking story while her mother runs in the local elections to become mayor. Contacted by a young woman after her story airs Veronica is horrified to discover she has been murdered and left in Willow Bay.

As the FBI sets up a local joint task force and a federal marshall arrives searching for an escaped convicted serial killer police chief Nessa ... finds her small police force stretched to the max. With the situation in danger of running out of control Veronica finds herself thrust into the centre of everything both professionally and personally.

The third part of Melinda Woodhall's excellent Veronica Lee series is another fast paced, thought provoking, and exciting read. All the much loved characters are there along with some very interesting  new additions.

As expected there are numerous twists and turns along the way as well as red herrings galore which only add to the experience. The various threads are all tied off and reading this book it is an all round satisfying pleasure.

I received a review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I also purchased my own copy and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this author's work or very good thriller writing.
