book review: cold pursuit

title: Cold Pursuit
author: Nancy Mehl
date: 2023
publisher: Bethany House

This is the first Nancy Mehl novel I have read. 

In Cold Pursuit she introduces us to River Ryland and Tony St. Clair, both retired from the FBI, now launching their own private investigator office. In this opening book of a new series, River and Tony take on a 4-year-old cold case. 

Nancy's storyline takes a basic missing person's case and weaves in PTSD, synesthesia, alzheimer and other mental health complications. And she does it in a careful, sensitive way. She does not demean characters who struggle. She also weaves faith into the story in a very natural way. It is not an add-on or a pushed agenda.

This is not a complicated or overly dark thriller, but she keeps drawing you in to keep reading. I am glad it is the first in a series, I'd like to see more character development as the journey unfolds.
