"Cold Case Connection" by Dana Mentink -- Book Review, Blog Tour, and Giveaway

About the Book

Book:  Cold Case Connection

Author: Dana Mentink

Genre:  Romantic Suspense

Release Date: February 1, 2020

Convinced his sister’s death wasn’t an accident, private investigator Sergio Ross is determined to catch her killer. But with all the clues hinting at a connection to another unsolved murder, he has to join forces with Helen Pike—a woman linked to both deaths—to find the truth. Can they follow the cold evidence trail to get justice…before they become the next victims?

My Thoughts

I was exited to be able to go back to Roughwater Ranch through reading "Cold Case Connection". Having met Helen in the other books, it was nice to get her story. I liked how Dana Mentink wove the biblical thread through the story and how the characters grew in their walk with God. The mystery kept throwing up false leads to keep me guessing to who was behind everything. I did realize the connection that Fiona had made quite a bit sooner than the characters, though that isn't uncommon for me. The story was well written and had a nice pace and flow. I can't wait for Chad's story.

More from Dana

Cold Case Connection was really fun to write because it’s Helen’s story. She’s an intelligent, sensitive woman who is the sister to the men living on the Roughwater Ranch. Liam is her biological brother, but she’s just as close to Chad and Mitch who might as well be blood relatives. In this novel, Helen has to relive the worst moment of her teenage life, the night when a mysterious murder occurred during a teen prank. Helen is going to have to face the past in order to preserve her future. Cowboys, a case gone cold, a coastal ranch and a whole lot of danger…I hope you will enjoy the ride!
