This is book two in the Texas Crime Scene Cleaners but I read it fine as a stand alone. It definitely kept me on my toes and I loved that I was surprised by the killer at the end as usually I can figure it out. Lots of high energy and undercurrents of unresolved emotions. I loved the second chance romance and how Beau redeems himself in this story. The Faith element makes it a satisfying read that you feel good about when finished. I found myself on edge trying to help them escape some harrowing situations. All in all a very satisfying read.

When Beau, the private investigator, walks into his sister Coco’s bloody attack unexpectedly, he is thrusted into a fierce investigation of some sickening and heartless murders in the past!
Little does Beau know that he is actually dealing with some psycho serial killer, and is putting himself and others in mortal peril!
Jessica R. Patch’s COLD CASE TARGET grips me from the beginning and takes me on a fast-paced, adrenaline-driven ride alongside with the hope and trust in Christ.
I truly enjoyed the suspense and mystery of COLD CASE TARGET, and was inspired by the love, hope and faith in God. ( )

Cold Case Target is a thrilling addition to the Texas Crime Scene Cleaners series. I was engaged from the beginning and caught up in the story all the way to the end. Plenty of suspense and cleverly crafted plot twists along with relevant faith lessons and sweet second chance romance kept me turning the pages and finishing the read in one sitting! I am usually a good outcome guesser, but the revelation of the perpetrator in this story was a complete surprise to me! The characters are compelling and true-to-life—ones you can become invested in emotionally! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it and the series especially for fans of Inspirational Romantic Suspense. Note: Many of the characters are carryovers from the first book in the series Cold Case Conspiracy, and although Cold Case Target works as a standalone, I recommend reading the books in order to get background information and a better connection with the characters.

When is it time to quit grieving and move on with life? I’m not sure but apparently our murderer had no respect for those who had lost a loved one. With her best friend trying to come to grips with losing her fiancé to drowning, Sissy Spencer is doing all she can to help. But after an assault that leaves Coco in a coma, it seems the murderer is now out to get her. Will she survive long enough for law enforcement to figure out who the perpetrator is?

Second Chance Investigations has the lead in this seemingly random attack, a company composed of Beau, Coco’s brother and Rhode, Sissy’s twin brother. When continued aggression occurs against Sissy, others also get caught in the crossfire. Another death is sure to happen if they cannot solve what has turned out to be a cold case.

An early copy of this Love Inspired Suspense was received through Harlequin and BookFunnel. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited. ( )
