Review
Accomplished author Jean Sheldon returns with her third novel about Chicago Police Detective Kerry Grant in A Chilling Goodbye. The third is a great follow up to the first two; Kerry Grant is a determined policeman who considers justice to be of paramount importance, and who is willing to plow through any obstacle to see the right thing done. Mystery fans everywhere, especially fans of the previous Kerry Grant novels, should seek out A Chilling Goodbye for an upstanding, forthright read. --Midwest Book Review Small Press Bookwatch August 2008
I'm a Canadian who lives in the cold north and am used to the freezing winter weather. However the thought of being frozen in order to be re-animated at a future time absolutely chills me to the bone.
Winter is bitterly cold in Chicago and Detective Kerry Grant has to bundle up to take her trash out to the dumpster. Amidst the thinly spread garbage she discovers the naked body of a woman. Three more bodies are found in dumpsters and one is found on a beach. All were previous frozen by a technique called cryonics. As Kerry and her partner Mike track down where the bodies came from and investigate the murder of the owner of the cryonics lab they find themselves targets of a killer who will stop at nothing to keep a secret hidden.
This is the third book in the Kerry Grant series by Jean Sheldon and the first I have read. Sheldon has created a well developed character in the stubborn and impulsive Kerry Grant who frequently finds herself in the not so good graces of her superior Lieutenant Romero. The plot is well paced and the conclusion is satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the way Sheldon gives us insight into Kerry through her relationship to her PI lover Marty. I strongly recommend A Chilling Goodbye and I personally plan to read the backlist of this very talented author. --Originally published on Bestsellersworld.com Lillian Porter 2008
