Cold Justice


I enjoyed Cold Justice by Katherine Howell, set in Sydney. Starts out with two story threads which are connected by the reopening of an investigation into the murder of a teenage boy, Tim Pieters, 19 years before. A female detective, Ella Marconi, is on the case. In the other thread Georgie Riley, a paramedic, comes down from the country for a reassessment of skills and is paired with Freya, her schoolfriend who left school suddenly after Tim's death. Tim's cousin, a doctor and MP has pushed for the case to be reopened. When the two threads come together, we learn of the connection and that there are secrets and lies which are resurfacing after 19 years until the truth and murderer is finally revealed. Recommended. 4/5
