Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Freeze Before Burning (Sam Tate Mystery #3) in Books

Dec 22, 2021

Sam is on a break visiting her family trying to figure out things from her past when she finds her self in the middle of an investigation involving somebody who has been penned as the dry ice killer.

This is a gripping story from the start definitely has you thinking who the perpetrator could be. A completely different way to murder people from the usual shootings stabbings etc. It's amazing how well the teams pull together and how close they all become. It does get you on the edge of your seat but it's a cope-able one. I am definitely interested in reading all the other stories in this series as Sam certainly has a knack for solving crimes.

Fantastic writing

slow, tedious, thriller

To be honest I was very disappointed with this book. I read the back and thought it sounded interesting and intriguing. The plot sounded good and as I had never read a John Grisham novel, I thought why not. It took me over 6 months to read because I found it boring and it really dragged on. When I read a thriller, I at least expect some modicum of violence or the odd descriptive murder, this lacked any. It went along so slow until the ending (which was unrealistic to me) was a welcome. If this is an indication of his writing then I think I will steer clear.

A really good and engaging thriller.

Jake's a bit of a lad and a horrific motorbike accident doesn't seem to change much however, when women he meets and show an interest in him are murdered, he becomes the prime suspect. Facing a multiple murder charge, Jake needs all the help he can get if he's not going to be staring at the inside of a cell for the majority of his life.

With some great characters (not all of them particularly likeable), a growing sense of tension and some great twists and turns, the Butterfly Wheel develops into a really good and engaging thriller and my thanks go to the author and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.
