Cold Pursuit

           Hey , i guess its been more than a month since i updated my blog so here iam today with one more book :)

           Carla Neggers is an author i happened to pick up recently by accident :) And Oh my...i enjoi her books. The chararcters in her books are linked and the more i started reading her books the more i wanted to read all the books linking the characters. Especially the ones linking the characters from the US Marshals. And her latest involves agents from Secret Service.

Synopsis:

              A prominent ambassador is killed in a suspicious hit-and-run in Washington, D.C. Hours later, his stepdaughter vanishes in the mountains of northern New England. 

           Back in her hometown of Black Falls, Vermont, to do damage control on her career, Secret Service agent Jo Harper is drawn into the search. But her efforts face an unexpected challenge: Elijah Cameron.
           With his military training and mountain rescue experience, Elijah knows the unforgiving terrain better than anyone. But he and Jo have been at odds forever - and Elijah believes the missing teenager isn't just lost.she's on the run.
           Forced to work together, Jo and Elijah battle time and the elements in a race into the unforgiving mountains. The twists and turns awaiting them will take them closer to the explosive truth and into the sights of a killer.

Review:

              My first impression with this book was it was ok. I would not rate it as high as all the other books of hers that i have read. I would say that the ending was dull and not that interesting. All her other books have an ending that leaves us expecting more and wants us to lay our hands on the next book. This left me wishing there was more of a proper ending to the book.

              The best part of this book was the character of Charles Preston Neal , the 16 yr old son of the Vice President of the USA and the character who the Secret Service Agent Jo Harper was protecting. His pranks were the reason Jo is on vacation and comes in contact with Elijah , her childhood sweetheart. His nature indicates that he delves into the whole mystery with full vigour and keeps calling Elijah/Jo giving them more information. He is also the one who links all assasinations together. I love his character :) and the pranks he plays even after Jo is on leave as in exchanging places with his cousin to fool the Secret Service Agents is good. And to top it all he has a very high IQ.

             Jo and Elijah though tough characters are still vulnerable when it comes to the other and their feelings. Its a good cat and mouse tale but leaves us wanting.
