The Book of Cold Cases

This is my first Simone St. James book and while I feel like I had a good enough time, I felt surprised by the sudden supernatural element just because I guess I didn't see the story going that way? But I found the MC interesting and the mystery was really solid.

I can't help myself, but I am easily hooked by cold case stories and this was no exception. So, a cold case along with characters who are all a little flawed, a psychotic ghost, and you have a perfect recipe for a great read, in my humble opinion. I see in the reviews where The Book of Cold Cases wasn't as highly regarded by some viewers as other of Simone St. James' books but I found it every bit as good as her previous novels. I guess I will remain a die hard fan. She can't write them fast enough for me.

I have read all previous books and loved them. This effort was so disappointing. Poor plot and poor characters abound. I hope next book measures up to first ones.

This is a Paranormal Thriller. I was really looking forward to this book so much because I loved the other book by Simone St. James that I read. I felt this one fell short for me. There was a lot of suspense in this book, but I felt the paranormal parts was just ok. I know when the ghost parts was coming, and I guessed was of this book. I did not care about any of the characters. I feel there is a lot of true crime podcast books out there right now, and I do not think this is the best one I have read so far. It is also not the worst one either. I also found the ending to be just ok. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
