Frozen Ground

Stormwatch Series, Book 1

De: Debra Webb

Narrado por: Kelsey Navarro

Abbey Gray, a New York Times best-selling thriller author, needs time away from the madness of deadlines and personal appearances as well as her big city life in Manhattan. The timing seems perfect for her to return to her small hometown in Montana to finally put the family home on the market. Except the storm of the century is descending on Montana, sweeping in with more than just bad weather - her closest neighbor is murdered. The murder stirs painful memories from the past of another murder - Abbey's mother. Can the eerily similar details of her neighbor's murder be proof that she was wrong all those years ago? Did the older brother she worshipped actually kill their mother? Now that his prison sentence has been served, is he back for revenge? Abbey must find the truth about the past before she becomes the next victim!

Sheriff Garrett Gilmore has known Abbey and her family his entire life. In truth, he has been in love with her since they were kids. All those years he hoped that one day she would come back, knowing it likely wouldn't happen. But he can't worry about that at the moment, he has a homicide to solve and a murderer to catch, all with the storm of the century bearing down on his county. Keeping Abbey safe will test the boundaries of his defenses.

interesting

Kelsey Navarro is one of my favorites but I really hate when the same narrator is used for multiple povs. No distinguishing inflection really messes with my brain at times.

It Ended Quickly

I was surprised this book was so short. It seemed to start out fairly evenly paced, then next thing I knew we were out in the woods being confronted by the killer.

It was obvious that the person who spent time in prison was not the killer. It was obvious that the eyewitness was not accurate. It was obvious something was not right with the situation after the 2nd death.

Everything seemed to happen quickly and be resolved even faster. There was no buildup between Garrett and Abbey. Characters were dropping like flies. I felt there wasn't enough time or detail to feel any real connection with anyone. Well, maybe Steven. At least I could empathize with his situation.

I thought it was interesting that all the travel was going on during a major snowstorm dumping FEET, not INCHES of snow on the area. Law enforcement and emergency medical seemed to move from place to place fairly easy.

The narration was good. The story was ok. Bottom line: just as I was starting to get into the story, it was over.

Good mystery

I read a lot of mysteries/thrillers and this one was a definitely a four star book. Narration was very good. By chapter 3 I had the villain picked out But kept on reading to make sure I was correct. It was a good book. Will definitely read another book by this author.

Confused me

I still couldn’t understand what was going on I felt clueless I may try to listen to it and figure it out

I was bored

I hate to write a bad review! I’ve enjoyed other books by this author so I thought this would be the same .. it was like it was written by someone else! The story was in no way unique and I spent most of my time thinking that and rolling my eyes at the cliches. Honestly.. don’t spend the money

I will never listen to another book narrated by this irritating woman.

sometimes the book isn't weak, but the narrator saves it. Not so, on this one. Very weak!!

Repetitive

Did not care for this-writing very shallow and trite. Characters making poor choices and plot obvious
