Although Cold Kills is the fifth book in the Pepin View Manor mystery series, you do not have to be familiar with the storyline in order to become immersed in the lives of Tyler and Beth Benson. Even though the media attention brought on by their kidnapping is all but gone, the couple is once again drawn into danger. And once again, they and the townspeople of Mill Valley will look to Preston and the FBI agent Hank Keller to uncover the truth before it is too late. People are missing. And with temperatures well below zero, they have to be found quickly. This may be one time when Tyler and Beth's abilities are not able to save them. Maybe.
