No one writes a better mystery than J.A. Jance and this one certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jance is one of the few authors that can give you two story lines in one book and allow you to easily keep up with both.
Ali’s daughter-in law Athena contacts her because her grandmother, Betsy, is receiving anonymous threats. The local police think that it is just old age catching up with Betsy. Ali promises to get to the bottom of things and meanwhile Ali’s long time friend Sister Anselm asks for her help.
With the help of her husband’s security firm, Ali soon has Betsy’s problem solved. It is a complicated matter that takes a lot of finesse on Athena’s part.
Sister Anselm is involved in a case that has brought to her attention a family of dangerous polygamists. Ali and the Sister uncover a cult that is responsible for the death of several women. The two are fighting against time to expose the Family before someone else is harmed or killed.
This is full of fast action and is a great read. Just be prepared to be glued to your seat and your reading lamp until you turn the last page. If you like an exciting mystery, then I highly recommend “Cold Betrayal”.
Happy reading, Linda
