Winter at the Door by Sarah Graves

This was my first experience with this author. While the writing style was a bit different than I usually read, I liked it. It had a lot of procedural aspects but also plenty of suspense and action. A couple of possible love interests throw some spice into the mix as well without taking things much beyond a bit of good chemistry. The main character, Lizzie, is a big city homicide detective turned small town community liaison in an effort to use her job as a vehicle to track down her young niece who has been missing for several years. Dylan is a state cop who Lizzie suspects may have drawn her to the area under false pretenses in order to resume a former relationship gone very wrong. Unfortunately, she still found him hard to resist. Trey is an apparently wealthy veterinarian who openly showed an interest in Lizzie and inspired a few return sparks from her at times. Both men help Lizzie in their own ways but also cause her suspicions to run wild.

A killer and a kidnapper are on the loose. Lizzie finds herself tracking both. Are they connected or separate incidences? Is Lizzie's niece the little blond girl some are reporting they have seen? Is the killer going to target Lizzie next? These are all questions answered in the story. I liked the characters and will be ready to check out the next book sometime soon.

Net Galley provided a copy of this book for review:-)
