Publisher's summary

She didn’t see the patch of black ice until it was too late. The car started to spin, and as it veered off into the deep ditch and the mounds of snow beside the road, she saw him. The little boy frozen in the ice.

When the remains of two bodies are found in an open grave along a desolate highway in Stillwater, Minnesota, Special Agent Nikki Hunt knows exactly who they are. The bright blue jacket lying on the frozen earth belongs to Kellan Rhodes, the missing boy she’s desperately been trying to find for the last two days. The other body is his mother Dana, who had been Nikki’s lead suspect.

Although the wounds on Dana’s body suggest she murdered her son and took her own life, Nikki finds evidence that suggests she was a victim too. Dana was desperately trying to regain custody of Kellan, and Nikki finds boot prints at the scene that belong to someone else.

When another child is reported missing, local journalist Caitlin Newport claims the cases are linked: Zach Reeves was taken away from his own mother in a custody battle, just like Kellan was.

Caitlin once helped Nikki find out the truth about her own parents’ murders, but her desire for a story nearly cost Nikki her life. Now, Nikki must decide if she can trust Caitlin again, before time runs out to find the killer and bring Zach home alive....

A thriller that will make your heart pound until its final, shocking conclusion. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Gardner.

Critic reviews

"This is the thriller that I didn’t know I was waiting for and needed in my life until I picked it up. SO GOOD. I’m still reeling and trying to catch my breath from this highly suspenseful and emotionally charged story.... I need more ASAP." (Reading in Autumn)

"Addictive. I read this in one sitting. It's unputdownable.... Filled with intrigue and deceit, The Girls in the Snow is guaranteed to keep you up all night." (Lisa Regan)

Totally binge-worthy!

I binged this whole series and enjoyed them all! The remote northern setting was almost a character itself as Agent Hunter pushes herself to the max to bring justice every single time!

Riveting

Had so many twists I couldn’t stop listening the ending was great too. Overall I’m a huge fan of the series so far

Great Story!

Stacy is of my new favorite mystery/ thriller authors!
Can't wait to read book 3

Can it be possible that book #2 is even more riveting than the first? Yes.

Not sure what it is, maybe the author's confidence is shining through, but special agent Nikki Hunt has more gumption, more pizzaz, and more grit in this sequel. One Perfect Grave (not sure of that title though if I'm being honest), is a great follow-up to the Nikki Hunt series.

While wrapping things up from her previous case in Stillwater (the one that came about to start the series), Nikki finds herself with romantic feelings over the brother of the man wrongly convicted of her parents' murders, as well as knee-deep in looking for the killer of a young mother and her son. If that isn't enough, a second young boy turns up missing and his mother is none other than reporter Caitlin Newport, Nikki's nemesis.

There is a lot of action in this one and you will not notice the time ticking as the pages seem to turn themselves. Well done, Stacy Green. I'm looking forward to reading book #3! Keep 'em coming.

No spoilers

Reviewing after reading the 4th book in the series. Strong likable protagonist that managed not to be cookie-cutter. Intriguing stories that keep moving. Narrator is excellent. Clearly enunciates without being ridiculous and has good range without being overly dramatic.

Another Case Wrapped Up

FBI special agent Nikki Hunt gets pulled into another case in her home town when two bodies are found in a shallow grave alongside a remote highway. A murder/suicide easily explains the bodies of a young boy and his mother, but Nikki proves nothing is as at seems. Another great crime read with a touch of romance by Stacy Green.

Totally amazing

I never write reviews here. But I can’t emphasize how much I loved this book. The first one was amazing, and so is the second. I am getting the next book right now because I am obsessed with this series!

Thriller!

I think this is great follow up in the series. I’m excited for book 3.
