The Big Thrill Recommends: THE COLDEST CASE by Tessa Wegert

Recommended by Tracey Devlyn

Senior Investigator Shana Merchant returns in Tessa Wegert’s latest installment of the Thousand Islands series, THE COLDEST CASE.

A blustery, thirty-minute airboat ride across the frozen St. Lawrence River wouldn’t have fazed Shana seven months ago. But now, every decision carries weight—she must consider how it will affect the precious life growing inside her.

When one of the eight year-round residents of Running Pine Island shows up at her door, demanding Shana personally investigate the disappearance of a social media influencer, she faces a tough choice. Instead of taking the case herself, she sends Tim—her husband, soon-to-be father, and fellow investigator—in her place.

While Tim investigates, Shana seizes the opportunity to reopen a cold case that has haunted her for years.

When the missing islander is found dead, Shana is forced to juggle two cases, navigating treacherous winter terrain to assist her team in tracking down the murderer. With only seven suspects to choose from, how hard can it be to catch a killer?

An atmospheric triumph, THE COLDEST CASE is a must-read for crime fiction lovers. Wegert masterfully intertwines a four-year-old cold case with an active murder investigation, offering readers a double dose of heart-pounding suspense.
