In the Cold Case Detectives miniseries, there have been plenty of baffling situations that need to be solved. The latest story deals with a missing person and her friend’s determination to make certain facts are found which will expose what actually occurred. With the help of a private investigator, the two go in search of information, and neither are willing to stop until everything is settled to their satisfaction. I have always thought Jennifer Morey makes her books in this miniseries very compelling with realistic details and characters, and COLD CASE MANHUNT is another gripping addition.
After her good friend disappeared, Jaslene Chabot keeps prodding the local police to uncover what happened to the woman. Cal Chelsey is the detective who was assigned the case, but now he is working for Dark Alley Investigations. Since he can set his own rules with the company, he lets Jaslene occasionally assist him when looking for clues. What they find is some very shocking answers plus even more questions.
I really admired the tenacity which drove Jaslene to keep up the mission to find her friend, as it shows her loyalty. Cal is a man who likes helping those who have lost hope, and he also will not stop until every possibility has been looked into. While some issues get in the way of their personal relationship, they are in agreement when it comes to how they investigate. There are quite a few incidents that cause Cal and Jaslene some big problems, and a couple of them were suspenseful because unknown factors determine the outcome. What really did happen is carefully hidden, yet subtle hints are given throughout the story, and they had caused me to constantly change my mind.
The feelings that Jaslene and Cal have for one another come across as genuine, and any tension between them also seems valid. Both have a reason for being wary of getting involved with someone, and it did not take long for me to become immersed in their complicated lives. As I waited to see what their final decisions would be, I was taken on an adventure of suspenseful danger and conflicting emotions.
I voluntarily reviewed the book, and all comments are my honest opinion - Rating: 4.5 Stars

This was a really good book. I admired Jaslene Chabot’s dedication to finding out what happened to her best friend. After her friend went missing, she was always asking the Police what they were doing to find her friend. The lead investigator on the case Cal Chelsey wanted answers almost as bad as Jaslene. He ended up quitting the Police and working for a private company. This book was intense at times. I thought this book had the perfect balance of romance, suspense, and was packed with heart pounding action. At times I wondered how Cal or Jaslene was going to survive what they were going through. I would recommend this book.

Cold Case Manhunt is listed as a romantic suspense but I didn't find it romantic or suspenseful. Most of the time I felt like I was their therapist, helping them work through their troubled past and rocky relationship. I had to push myself to finish this book. Definitely not my favorite.
