Cold Case Cowboy by Jenna Ryan, Intrigue, #972, February 2007

Painter's Bluff seems to have a serial killer in its midst. A killer that seems to be targeting blonde females of Scandinavian descent. And newly arrived architect Sasha Myer fits the bill according to cold case Denver cop Nick Law who was called in by the town's mayor. While going to examine the site where the resort will be built Sasha and 5 other people are trapped. Now the danger seems to accelerate because it seems the killer is also trapped. And there might be a possibility that one of the people she is trapped with is on friendly terms with the killer. Who can she trust? And is Sasha being in Painter's Bluff a coincidence?

Review: I thought the book was okay. It just didn't seem to seamlessly flow for me. In a couple places I didn't realize the scene had actually changed. But the characters were enjoyable, the dialogue entertaining, and the plot twists at the end kept me guessing.
