Best Served Cold: Martha Garrett Mystery
The riveting, heart-wrenching sequel to What the Chat Dragged In
"All of my life, I have been afraid of turning into a monster. And I’m not sure if I did or not. Maybe I’m the devil. Maybe I’m an avenging angel. I’ve heard that every villain is the hero of his own story. I’ll tell you mine. Then you can decide."
Seth Christopher survived an unspeakable childhood horror to build the perfect life with his beautiful and brave fiancee, former FBI Agent Martha Garrett. Now everything he loves is threatened by the evil predators who stole his childhood.
Just when he should be celebrating his success as an online cooking celebrity, a shocking death sets Seth Christopher on a quest for revenge. He promised his fiancée, there were certain lines he'd never cross again, but his hunger for justice sets him down a dark path where the ends justify any means.
How far will he finally go to punish the monsters who think they've escaped justice. Will he lose his love and his life before he can stop them?

About the author
Cyn Mackley
33 books19 followersHi! I’m Cyn Mackley, and I write love stories littered with corpses… and cats. Always cats.
I’ve been telling stories since I was six years old, when I wrote my first “book” in crayon. These days, I write mystery series like Goode Grace, Camelot West Virginia, Purgatory County, and Martha Garrett, plus a stand-alone romantic mystery called Big Break. My books are a mix of humor, murder, romance, and action—because why choose?
By day, I’m a crime journalist and tech writer (yes, I can help you with your Kindle). I’ve lived my whole life in Ohio and take a lot of inspiration from my Appalachian roots and the true crime cases I’ve covered in Southern and Northwest Ohio.
When I’m not writing or reporting, I’m probably barefoot in the garden obsessing over tomatoes, cooking up something delicious, or surrounded by cats and miniatures.

Surprised by Change in How This Book's Main Character
I was surprised that the main character in this book was not Marti but Seth. Also, surprised how, long chapter one was. It was a good setup for the rest of the book.
If you have enjoyed other Cyn's books, you will want to read this.
I was glad that there was less sex in this book, but glad that it was not totally missing.

Great story
This is the second book in this series. You do need to read the first. What happened to Seth was horrific and he is still trying to deal with it. Loving Marti has helped Jim tremendously but he still feels there are things he needs to do. There is some humor even though parts of this are horrific. I really came to care about Seth and Marti in the first book, so it was good to read more about them.

Best Served Cold, the 2nd book in Cyn Mackly's Martha Garrett Mysteries is as amazing and heart touching/wrenching as all of her books.
