The Chase by DiAnn Mills

The Chase
Zondervan (March 27, 2012)

DiAnn Mills

This book was awesome! Going in I was slightly wary because I didn't really enjoy the last DiAnn Mills book I read, but this one made up for it and more. The premise of the story reminded me of the TV show Castle-a writer doing research for a book by tagging along with a law enforcement officer. There weren't tons of similarities beyond that but the writer did constantly bring in coffee! This story was extremely well written and I loved all the characters. I can't wait till next spring when book two comes out. It still has the same main characters which makes the wait even harder. I really appreciated the fact that this book didn't progress into the main couple's relationship very far, leaving a lot of stuff for the following book.

ABOUT THE BOOK
To the FBI it's a cold case. To Kariss Walker it's a hot idea that could either reshape or ruin her writing career. And it's a burning mission to revisit an event she can never forget. Five years ago, an unidentified little girl was found starved to death in the woods behind a Houston apartment complex. A TV news anchor at the time, Kariss reported on the terrifying case. Today, as a New York Times bestselling author, Kariss intends to turn the unsolved mystery into a suspense novel. Enlisting the help of FBI Special Agent Tigo Harris, Kariss succeeds in getting the case reopened. But the search for the dead girl's missing mother yields a discovery that plunges the partners into a witch's brew of danger. The old crime lives on in more ways than either of them could ever imagine. Will Kariss's pursuit of her dream as a writer carry a deadly price tag? Drawing from a real-life cold case, bestselling novelist DiAnn Mills presents a taut collage of suspense, faith, and romance in The Chase.
