Killer Christmas Evidence by Sami A. Abrams

 

Killer Christmas Evidence

About the Book

The search for a criminal…becomes a fight for survival.

The moment detective Cassidy Bowman links a chain of suspicious deaths to a serial killer, she becomes the deadly assassin’s number one target. But a blow to the head robs her of her memory and she can’t put the pieces of the case back together alone. Can she convince detective Kyle Howard to help her catch the culprit by proving her theory…before the killer succeeds in taking Cassidy’s life?

About the Author

Award-winning, bestselling author Sami Abrams grew up hating to read. It wasn’t until her 30’s that she found authors that captured her attention. Now, most evenings, you can find her engrossed in a Romantic Suspense. In her opinion, a crime and a little romance is the recipe for a great story.

She lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.

More from Sami

While coming up with the idea for Kyle and Cassidy’s story, Killer Christmas Evidence, I loved the idea of a serial killer that no one knew about. Someone who killed in different places and in different ways to avoid detection. Kim Rossmo’s theory on Geographic Profiling was intriguing, and I wanted to implement that concept. But, as I started to write, I realized the idea was too big for a Love Inspired Suspense length book, so I had to adjust the story a bit to fit the situation. The basics are there, just not the details I had hoped for.

However, when I sat down to write and I got to know Kyle and Cassidy a little better, I realized the story wasn’t about the stealth serial killer, but about learning to let go of guilt and learning to forgive. How many times in our lives due to being hurt or the pain of loss do we assume we know the truth? Yet, if we listened—really listened—we discover not everything is what is appears to be. And the truth is not painful, but healing.

My Thoughts

Killer Christmas Evidence by Sami A. Abrams is a story that will have you reading late into the night.  I enjoyed getting to know Cassidy and Kyle.  Both are still grieving the loss of Kyle’s fiancé and Cassidy’s friend (as well as roommate and coworker).  I like that the characters were flawed.  This made them realistic and relatable.  All the action kept the pace peppy.  There are twists and turns that keep things lively.  I had a good time unraveling the clues along with Kyle and Cassidy.  It was an intriguing mystery.  Faith is nicely incorporated into the story.  After so many losses, it can be difficult to have faith.  They need to learn to trust God which is something we all must do.  Pray for His help when someone is in trouble and place their worries in His hands.  Killer Christmas Evidence is the fourth book in the Deputies of Anderson County series.  It can be read as a standalone, but it is better to read as a series.  I was happy to catch up with the characters from the previous three books.  I like Ethan and Brent’s (the EMTs) humor.  I loved the ending which left me smiling.  Killer Christmas Evidence was over far too soon.  Killer Christmas Evidence is a fastmoving tale with a grieving fiancé, an anomalous accident, an almost fatal fire, a shadowy shape, faithful friends, and a Christmas romance.
