The Murder Mile #2
Stone Cold
The clues to the present lie in the past…
Rose Marsden is struggling with the revelation that her new friend is a prostitute. So, when the friend goes missing, and her son begs Rose for help, she’s reluctant to get involved.
But when a young prostitute’s body is dumped at the base of a local statue, and Rose discovers that her friend was the last person to see the girl alive, she knows she must find her, before somebody else does.
As Rose delves deeper, she gets involved with a protest group campaigning to have the statue removed, hoping it will lead her to her missing friend. Instead, the discovery of an innocent schoolgirl’s body in the same place sparks fears of a serial killer.
Her friend is still missing. Is it possible that she’s the murderer, or will she become the next victim?
A page-turning mystery-thriller with compelling characters. Stone Cold is the second book in The Murder Mile series, but can be read as a standalone.

Rose Marsden comes through again
Rose wants to protect her son Jack and ends up solving the murders of three women.
Plenty of action, fear, and guts. A very enjoyable read. It’s a surprise when you find out who the killer is.
This is the second book in a series about one woman's life and challenges and her overcoming them. Ready for more by Christine Pattle.

Great read
I enjoyed this exciting wrap up to a story about a serial killer who murders prostitutes. The characters are well written and the storyline is also exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. Well done to this author, I can't wait to start the next book.

Hard To Put Down
Good reading from start to finish. Well developed characters and a storyline that keeps you guessing who the killer is. Great twist at the end.
