On a cold dark night in February, as a blizzard shrieks through Cedar Valley, police officer and new mother Gemma Monroe responds to an anonymous report of a prowler at the local private high school, The Valley Academy. In her idyllic Colorado small town, Gemma expects the call was just a prank by a bored teenager. But there in the snow lies the savaged body of a man whose presence in town was meant to be a secret. And a disturbing message left by his killer promises more death to come.

Second book in the Gemma Monroe series about a small town police officer solving murders. I liked it as much as the first. Her books also displays the struggle in her personal life. In this, she is returning from maternity leave so there's that. She is committed to the baby's father, whom she lives with, but won't marry as she can't dismiss a voice in her head that tells her not to trust that he will be faithful forever after. Of course, there is also the “family” drama inside the police unit in which she works. I enjoy all the ancillary stuff in addition to putting the pieces of the murder together. Littlejohn is an entertaining writer who can hold an audience. Her third book is now out and I am looking forward to it.
