Cold Blooded Liar is a standalone suspense mystery from best-selling author, Karen Rose. This is my first read by this author and I was excited to read it having long heard of this author. I can see now why her books are so highly recommended. Karen Rose writes an excellent intricately woven and suspenseful psychological mystery. The book is the first in a new series and I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series when it’s released. Featuring a great main character, Detective Kit McKittrick, I’m excited to see where this series goes. This one focuses on Detective McKittrick and psychologist, Sam. As a psychologist myself, I could really relate to the ethical and moral dilemma that Sam is faced with and wondering myself how I would handle this if I was in the same situation. Sam’s patient is a known liar who may also be a killer, but how do you know who and what to trust, especially when your career and life may be at stake. I found the mystery engaging and I wanted to keep reading to see how it all wraps up. I’d highly recommend this excellent suspense mystery. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to read an arc of this novel.
