Cold Truth (Ellie Kline Mystery Series Book 1)

I was captivated until the very end and I want MORE!!!. The characters are raw , loyal and brutally honest. This is a thrilling, exciting and addictive story that you can't put down. Imagine you have no Knowledge of an event in your life and only believe what your parents told you. Present day you just been promoted to detective, first assignment is cold cases as each clue comes together so do the voices you heard long ago. I still haven't figured out who the killer is but he has eyes everywhere. Happy reading.

It took me a while to really get into the book but I'm glad that I kept reading. the beginning chapters read almost as a love story between Ellie and her love interest but thankfully it picked up tomorrow detective law enforcement reading. Ellie Klein is in law enforcement and she is getting much resistance from her mother to continue pursuing her career. a quote that stands out in this book and reflects Ellie is found in Chapter 6 where is states "Well- behaved women don't change the world." This quote sums up Ellie and the uphill battle that she has in a field dominated by men.

Didn’t know this author. Saw the cover, read the blurb, and immediately bought the first eight books in the series. Then hoped I wouldn’t regret that decision. Not a chance! …at least I don’t think so—especially if they all flow like this one. Well written, keeps the tension going. The change in point-of-view caught me off guard the first time but once I made the mental shift, when it happened again, it seemed natural. If you like this genre, I can highly recommend jumping in with both feet.

Great read a real page turner, lot a twists and turns. it was hard to A down at times. . The aurhor is a great story teller, has a way with words and paints a picture so well you think your write there living with them. It had an amazing number twist and turns that I just didn't see coming, it was frustrating at times , but it had a satisfying ending. I really kept looking forward to the next reading section of it.. Looking forward to the continuation in the next book because Ellis case isn't solved yet completely.

Cold Truth is the kind of book that I both love and hate. I love it because of the gripping tale and relatable characters. It's a can't put down kind of a book, with so many people that "could " be the bad guy, that I kept changing my mind! It kept me engaged and hungry for more. Which brings me to the reason for hating it.... I literally COULD NOT put it down. It's 4 pm and I have been reading all day! Not to mention until 2 this morning! And now I have to get the next book, because...... I won't ruin it for you!

A little rough around the edges. Excitement in the last few chapters. Opens up many what ifs? Ready to roll into the next book to see if my theories are proven and what will happen when and whom.

Another "poor little rich girl" book: super rich family that give her trouble, fellow cops who don't take her seriously, an endlessly patient boyfriend who lets her lead him on in the prime of his life. She's gorgeous too and smarter than everyone; defies orders and protocol at every turn, but gets promoted for it all. It starts out very slow. Very repetitive with family dinners and fancy galas that all blend together. And the same conversations happen at these events. Once the mystery actually starts, it gets pretty good. I'd love if all the unnecessary fat could be trimmed and we get just the mystery and solving of the crime. I'd love a protagonist that's more relatable and down to earth too. If you can get through the first 12 chapters or so of repetitive character back story, you might enjoy the twists and solving of the cases

A Difficult book to put down, well developed characters a mystery within a mystery, and I wanted Ellie to catch the bad guy so badly, I kept reading and reading.

What an amazing read of a book from beginning to the end it draws you right in from the start.the story the plot its got it all and the twist at the end is something I didn't see coming and now for the next one carnt wait to read it. D.l.purkiss?

Well written and readable

I enjoyed this story,I got confused at times but it was a good book I liked the character of Ellie

A lot of background information wasnt necessary and was quite boring to be honest. Very far fetched stories about Ellie and the forces reaction to her antics, which seem to be irrelevant so far to the book. Took too long to get to the actual story. Ill give the second book a go but can't see me finishing the series if the first is anything to go on

...when I realised I had stumbled into an modern day Barbara-Taylor-Bradford which ( speed reading forward to check ) seemed to spend ages banging on about how rich she was, with her $1k tips and all the naff family stuff and wondering when the heck it would get back to being about a murder investigation. I don't mind a bit of home background stuff but not when it dominates the whole thing.
