After five patient years, Abigail Wyatt’s sisterly care is finally paying off: her younger brother, Derek, is abandoning his self-destructive lifestyle and seeking his parents’ forgiveness, thus ending the painful estrangement that wounded the whole family. But just as the pieces are falling into place for the prodigal’s return, a woman named Karen Brodie is murdered in a local park—and police name Derek as the prime suspect. Rather than standing firm and cementing the positive changes in his life, Derek succumbs to his cynical fears and runs from the law, leaving Abigail with her hands tied. Literally.
Derek’s raw panic convinces everyone that he’s the killer— everyone except Abigail, who doggedly maintains her brother’s innocence. With the help of Kyle, a charismatic new friend she might be falling for, Abigail digs deep into Karen Brodie’s troubled past in hopes of clearing Derek’s name. But as she uncovers a sinister plot of greed, envy, and vengeance, this loyal sister must face the painful truth that things—and people—are not always as they seem.

Really liked Cold As Ice. Took awhile to really feel confident that I knew who the bad guy was. I like it when that happens.
I liked this book. I think Stephanie Black is a great writer. Her books are very suspenseful and luckily this one is less creepy than her last one. I only knew for sure who the bad guy was 60 pages from the end. If you like mystery I recommend this book!
What a great mystery! Ms Black does a great job of laying out the clues with enough misdirections to take you on a fine ride. I was pretty sure who-done-it, but found myself pondering and suspecting each character all along the way. Which is just the way I like my mysteries.
