Dewey Decimal: 823/.92 Synopsis: From the beloved and internationally bestselling author of Sweet Little Lies comes the second novel featuring DC Cat Kinsella--an investigator "on par with Susie Steiner's and Tana French's female detectives" (Kirkus Reviews). After a brief stint in the Mayor's Office, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella is back at the London Metropolitan Police, wisecracking with her partner Luigi Parnell and trying to avoid the wrath of the boss, DI Kate Steele. But for Cat and Parnell, it's serious business when a young Australian woman turns up dead after a party thrown by her new boss. The initial investigation of Naomi Petrovic's murder points to Joseph Madden, the owner of a coffee shop around the corner from police headquarters. Madden insists he's innocent, that he was home with his wife Rosa at the time of the murder. When police question her, Rosa contradicts his alibi, swearing that she was home alone. While the team builds its case against Joseph, Cat is tasked with getting to the heart of the Maddens' marriage. Cat knows that one of them is lying--but the question of which one, and why, is far more complicated than she could have expected. As she tries to balance the demands of the investigation with a budding romance and unresolved family drama, Cat has to decide how far she'll go to keep her own past mistakes buried. With her trademark wit and brilliant plotting, Caz Frear ratchets up the tension and keeps you guessing as she explores the secrets we keep from our loved ones--and the ones we'd kill to keep safe in the dark., From the beloved and internationally bestselling author of Sweet Little Lies comes the second novel featuring DC Cat Kinsella--an investigator "on par with Susie Steiner's and Tana French's female detectives" ( Kirkus Reviews ).After a brief stint in the Mayor's Office, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella is back at the London Metropolitan Police, wisecracking with her partner Luigi Parnell and trying to avoid the wrath of the boss, DI Kate Steele.

Topic: Mystery & Detective / Police Procedural, Mystery & Detective / International Mystery & Crime, Thrillers / Historical, Mystery & Detective / Women Sleuths Author: Caz Frear Reviews: What drives STONE COLD HEART is precisely what made SWEET LITTLE LIES one of my favorite novels of 2018. That special something (or someone, I should say) is Cat Kinsella. . . . Frear has created one of the most engaging characters in the mystery/thriller genre, and this series is already drawing comparisons to the works of Tana French, who may very well be the best in the business., Caz Frear has fashioned her second terrific crime thriller . . . a sumptuously unsettling mystery that lives up to all the hype. . . . This is the kind of mystery Agatha Christie would have penned these days if she were still alive, with the personal sharing equal billing with the professional. And Kinsella is the best female detective from across the pond since Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison of the brilliant 'Prime Suspect' series., "I cannot think of a mystery protagonist who harbors more secrets or confronts more ethical challenges than Detective Catrina "Cat" Kinsella. . . . You will guess who did it, but you will be wrong.", Frear once again excels at creating memorable characters and realistic dialog. Cat's snarky attitude and youthful brashness are nicely balanced with her passion for justice and investigative skills. VERDICT: Highly recommended for fans of police procedurals with compelling detectives., The characters' banter is a delight. Frear writes scenes of conversation between the detectives that make them all feel like familiar old friends--to each other but also to the reader., Stone Cold Heart confirms Caz Frear as a crime fiction force to be reckoned with. A gripping, layered story--and a last line that left me desperate to read the next Cat Kinsella adventure!, "Caz Frear has fashioned her second terrific crime thriller . . . a sumptuously unsettling mystery that lives up to all the hype. . . .
