Publisher's summary

She didn’t see the patch of black ice until it was too late. The car started to spin, and as it veered off into the deep ditch and the mounds of snow beside the road, she saw him. The little boy frozen in the ice.

When the remains of two bodies are found in an open grave along a desolate highway in Stillwater, Minnesota, Special Agent Nikki Hunt knows exactly who they are. The bright blue jacket lying on the frozen earth belongs to Kellan Rhodes, the missing boy she’s desperately been trying to find for the last two days. The other body is his mother Dana, who had been Nikki’s lead suspect.

Although the wounds on Dana’s body suggest she murdered her son and took her own life, Nikki finds evidence that suggests she was a victim too. Dana was desperately trying to regain custody of Kellan, and Nikki finds boot prints at the scene that belong to someone else.

When another child is reported missing, local journalist Caitlin Newport claims the cases are linked: Zach Reeves was taken away from his own mother in a custody battle, just like Kellan was.

Caitlin once helped Nikki find out the truth about her own parents’ murders, but her desire for a story nearly cost Nikki her life. Now, Nikki must decide if she can trust Caitlin again, before time runs out to find the killer and bring Zach home alive....

A thriller that will make your heart pound until its final, shocking conclusion. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Gardner.

"This is the thriller that I didn’t know I was waiting for and needed in my life until I picked it up. SO GOOD. I’m still reeling and trying to catch my breath from this highly suspenseful and emotionally charged story.... I need more ASAP." (Reading in Autumn)

"Addictive. I read this in one sitting. It's unputdownable.... Filled with intrigue and deceit, The Girls in the Snow is guaranteed to keep you up all night." (Lisa Regan)

One Perfect Grave

I figured out this killer at the beginning of this story. As with the first book, we’re told how great Nikki and her team are but she makes stupid mistakes that take away from that description. So far each of these books have been half personal drama for Nikki and half the murder mystery. For my personal tastes, I prefer way less personal drama In this type of book.

This novel is 90% romance and 10% mystery

As with all romance novels, the main female character is weak, annoying, and pathetic! Same goes for the novel.

The narrator is excellent

Great thriller

I’m liking this series. Can’t wait for more. However— I’m begging whomever is in charge of the audiobook to find another narrator. Kate Handford simply cannot perform a masculine voice. I got so confused at the Miller character— I thought he was a girl. Ugh.

Can't wait for book 3!!

Stacy Green has certainly created a great new crime series with FBI Agent heroine Nikki Hunt. Nikki is complex, imperfect, believable and addictive. The narrator, Kate Handford, of books 1 and 2 is fantastic. I hope that she will continue with the series in book 3.

Outstanding

First, I must say the editing was much better than the first Nikki Hunt story.
I found myself mildly obsessed with this story. I ordered it on Audible so I could listen while driving and on Kindle to read on my free time.
The Narrator does a fantastic job of portraying the characters.
The story had several unexpected twists and kept me captivated.
I've already bought the Kindle version of Lost Angels, the third book, but I'm disappointed that there is not an Audible version. I intend to start book three right now.

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.
