"Secret Service Agent Jo Harper takes a mandatory leave of absence from her job in the White house to come home to Black Falls, Vermont. Her high school love, Elijah Cameron tries to solve the mystery of his father's death. Lots of twists and turns - good read. "
— Dr. (4 out of 5 stars)
“A riveting read.”
— Bookreporter“Well-drawn characters, complex plotting and plenty of wry humor are the hallmarks of Neggers’ books. Jo and Elijah are very well matched, and readers will root for their romance.”
— RT Book Reviews“Monda captures all the story’s dramatic and sexual tension in her narration.”
— AudioFile" Through the first half of this book the reader is repeatedly reminded that it is cold in Vermont during November - as if that is some major revelation. About two thirds of the way into the story (weak, disjointed and incomplete) the author finally decides to develop the plot - but by that time it is too little too late. "
— Pete, 2/11/2014" With all the back stories, this felt like a sequel to a book I hadn't read. There was a fair amount of action and suspense... though no questions get answered! The ending... there isn't one! "
— Brittany, 2/10/2014" *Big sighs* This was good Mystery book, but was lacking in the Romance department.. Had there been less characters to be distracted by and had it delved more into Jo and Elijah's romantic relationship, this could of been a great romance/suspence. Over all I give it 3 stars, because it was still an interesting mystery. "
— April, 2/8/2014" Great read but too many unanswered questions. "
— Karen, 1/20/2014" I enjoyed this book and have already downloaded the other two Black Falls books to my Nook. Anxious to read those to find out what happens. "
— Karen, 1/17/2014" Just didn't go anywhere, still unsure as to where the plot was going, maybe these questions are answered in the next book in the series. "
— Chris, 1/17/2014" Dear Mother... did this book bore the crap out of me. I get that there is no true ending since there a two more books in the series. However... come on!!! A killer on the lose, kids in peril a dimwitted Secret Service Agent and her equally dimwitted love interest. UGH... spare me! "

— Dr., 11/25/2013" Vermont, Jo Harper Secret Service Agent "
— Andrea, 10/22/2013" just your average mass produced paperback. the threadline of the love story really detracted from the main storyline. "
— Jeremy, 9/19/2013" I thought Cold Pursuit was well-written, but it just didn't grab my interest or attention. I made myself finish it, but I realized half-way through that I really didn't care about the characters at all. I will probably try one of Neggers' other works, though. "
— Julianne, 8/10/2013" good book. lots of action and suspense. "
— Nancy, 12/19/2012" I enjoyed this suspense novel. "
— Wendy, 5/14/2012" Had a hard time staying with this one...There was no resolution at the end of the story - perhaps wanting to use this as a stepping stone to the next book? I liked the main characters, but didn't feel drawn to what they were doing. "
— Patty, 4/10/2012" Real good story line but lacking in follow through. There was no suspense at all...and this is suppose to be romantic suspense. Also, the writing style isn't real great. Too wordy without giving enough needed info. "
— Jennifer, 1/28/2012" decently written even if formulaic. "
— Lindig, 7/12/2011" I enjoyed the pace of this book. I don't know if it was me or if the author wasn't completing thoughts. I had to go back and read some things over again and was still confused. Not the best of her writings but the characters were likeable. "
— Starket, 6/27/2011" Let's just say, not a series I'll pick up again. "
— Roberta, 6/14/2011" The book just does not draw me in. I've read several of her books - her writing is mediocre at best. "
— Yvette, 6/6/2011" With all the back stories, this felt like a sequel to a book I hadn't read. There was a fair amount of action and suspense... though no questions get answered! The ending... there isn't one! <br/> <br/> "
— Brittany, 5/1/2011" good book. lots of action and suspense. "
— Nancy, 2/6/2011" Enjoyed the book even though pretty predictable and you don't ever find out who the assassins are! (our gov. or the Russians?) Some romance that you knew was going to end well and did. Fun summer read! "
— Mary, 7/19/2010" Just didn't go anywhere, still unsure as to where the plot was going, maybe these questions are answered in the next book in the series. "
— Chris, 7/15/2010" just your average mass produced paperback. the threadline of the love story really detracted from the main storyline. "
— Jeremy, 6/20/2010" Vermont, Jo Harper Secret Service Agent "
— Andrea, 6/13/2010" The book was ok. The suspense part of the story was never concluded. Hired killers were targeting people; you never found out why or who they were. It seems like it could lead to a sequel. I don't know if there is one; if so I would read it to tie up all the loose ends. "
— Susan, 5/20/2010" I enjoyed the pace of this book. I don't know if it was me or if the author wasn't completing thoughts. I had to go back and read some things over again and was still confused. Not the best of her writings but the characters were likeable. "
