About the author

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Rita Herron fell in love with books at the ripe age of eight when she read her first Trixie Belden mystery. But she didn’t think real people grew up to be writers, so she became a teacher instead. Now she writes so she doesn’t have to get a real job.
With over ninety books to her credit, she’s penned romantic suspense, romantic comedy and YA novels, but she especially likes writing dark romantic suspense and crime fiction set in small southern towns.

Two cops team up to find who is killing all these girls!

They work the case, but they are definitely attracted to one another! They like one another, she's a cop, he a Texas ranger. She's afraid he'll die like her father and he's just always on the go, never stopping to have a relationship because he knows he'll never get married!!

They try and keep focused on the case, until the case gets so stressful both of their defenses are down, and they do finally give in to their desire for each other.

By the end, they've fallen for one another. But then he gets called away for the next Job. Will she stop him or let him go because she knows he's good at what he does, and he may never come home To hi!? Will he choose his job over her or will he choose getting to be with the one he loves and wants to try forever with?

The serial killer is going to probably not be the one who suspect which I enjoyed this take on not revealing that person til the end! It was different! Looking forward to next book!

Ps: ending I wish had been a couple paragraphs longer. Little more detail there would be nice!

This was a suspenseful book. Classmates and friends are coming back to the small town where they graduated to celebrate their 10 year reunion. Young lady's of that class are going missing, and being murdered. Sheriff Amanda Blair, and Texas Ranger Justin Thorpe are working against the clock. This serial killer has to be stopped before anyone else goes missing. Who could hold a grudge for 10 years? What happened 10 years ago that was so bad, that they had to die for what they did?

Good story.

Texas Ranger Justin Thorpe is dedicated to finding missing people and Sheriff Amanda Blair is determined to find out what's happening in her town. There have been ten missing girls and the killer has planned to finish off with Amanda at the upcoming class reunion. Amanda and Justin join teams to stop the killer before its too late and soon both feel an attraction they try to fight.

I expected so much more after reading Cold Case at Camden Crossing. I wanted to know why Justin was so focused on helping find missing people,like his background. Amanda wasn't a character I fully liked, she kept saying she felt guilty about her friend Carlton's suicide but it sounded flimsy. I think the story had so much potential but kind of lacked the power Rita Herron usually packs.

In Herron’s romantic suspense novel, Texas Ranger Justin Thorpe teams with Sheriff Amanda Blair to work a serial killer case in her own town. Both are dedicated to the job but when desire flares and Amanda is threatened, both of them will be tested as they scurry to catch a killer before he strikes again.

A fast-paced, hard to put down thriller.

Hart Pounding In a way that tells you do not stop reading. Falling for a Hunky Texas Ranger and trying to solve a murder all in a town as Beautyful as Sunset Mesa would have you working hard to solve it fast. 5 stars isn't enough for this book.

[Silverana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not enough romance. The story focused mostly on the case of the missing or dead women. I didn't expect the identity of the killer.

[Harlequin Books]

"Cold cases piled on top of red herrings, piled on top of the serious subject of bullying, push Herron's tale to the top of the reading list". (RT Book Reviews) rated 4 stars

Loved Cold Case at Carlton’s Canyon. Rita Herron did it again. Well written, great suspense romance novel with lots of twists and turns. Highly recommended. Can't wait for her next one.

I enjoyed this book, although I just wanted something more between the two characters than what there was. It didn't feel deep enough.
