Short Review – Dead Stop by Barbara Nickless

Dead Stop (Sydney Rose Parnell #2)

By Barbara Nickless

Synopsis: The search for a missing child leads a courageous railway cop down a twisted trail of murder.

It’s been five months since Special Agent Sydney Parnell survived a violent confrontation with a gang of brutal thugs, an encounter that left her physically and emotionally scarred. Deep down, Sydney fears she isn’t ready for another investigation. But when a woman is murdered on the train tracks and a child goes missing, she knows she’s the only one who can lead the hunt for the killer. While Denver police and the FBI chase down blind alleys, Sydney focuses on a single cryptic clue left behind at the crime scene—one that will send her down a path of greed, violence, and long-ago love.

With Denver beset by a series of monsoon like thunderstorms that threaten to flood the city, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, must wade through a murky trail of murder that stretches back thirty years—all to rescue a child…and catch a killer with a long memory and an insatiable appetite for destruction.

My review: If you love mystery and suspense then I suggest you grab a copy of Dead Stop. Book #2 is as exciting as the first one, it’s a fantastic follow-up. The characters are so memorable and believable, especially Sydney. Her character is complex, well developed and terribly flawed, but she kicks ass. You can’t help but to love her and her especially her partner Clyde whose character rings true to life. When book #3 comes out I’ll be the first to pre-order it. I loved reading this book, the suspense and action was non stop. Want a great read, here you go!
