Review: Dead in Her Tracks - Kendra Elliot

Review: Dead in Her Tracks - Book #2 Rogue Winter Novellas - November 2015

Dead in Her Tracks starts where Track of Her Tears and Bruce is recovering from the accident and the police have Bob in custody after he admitted to killing Bruce's girlfriend Amber-Lynn. In Dead in Her Tracks, Zane and Stevie are called on Christmas day to the local trucker's motel owned by Charlie as a dead body has turned up in one of the rooms. The dead girl is named Vanessa Phillips and bears a striking resemblance to Amber-Lynn which makes the police think that Bob might have killed her as well. They would have been able to find out except someone has broken into the police station and killed Bob. Is someone cleaning up the house and making sure no-one solves the murders? Of course, Stevie and Zane aren't the types of cops to sit on their bottoms and eat doughnuts and soon will uncover a series of missing females and no bodies. Have the pair of them uncovered a potential serial killer living in the once peaceful town of Solitude, Oregon? What will happen though when the same night Stevie says Yes to Zane, she ends up in the killer's crosshairs - will the engagement be over before it even properly begins? I have to admit this book was a twist as I didn't see the person who was revealed as the killer - a suspect. It did make me wonder as I am a fan of murder stories, that sometimes the person you least expect can be hiding one of the most gruesome secrets and it brings the classic saying of "you can't judge a book by the cover". Dead in Her Tracks was another great murder mystery by Kendra Elliot and a good mystery to read curled up by the fireplace.
