Book 1 of 9: Winter Black Series

A killer is watching…

Thirteen years ago, Winter Black came home early from a sleepover to find her parents brutally murdered and her little brother gone—taken by a serial killer called The Preacher.

Now a rookie FBI agent assigned to her first murder case, Winter has returned to the small Virginia town where she grew up. But when bones found by a hunter lead to the discovery of a secret burial ground containing the remains of children, the investigation suddenly hits close to home as the past and future collide with each new shocking discovery. Will they find her brother’s bones in the makeshift graveyard next?

Only The Preacher knows, and he’ll do anything to keep the past—and its secrets—buried until he’s ready to make his final move.

A masterfully conceived psychological thriller reminiscent of Lee Child, Winter’s Mourn will keep readers turning the pages—and watching the window—long past midnight.

great book, terrible language.

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Loved this book but I have to agree with a few other viewers on the unnecessary profanity. However this seems to have become a trend with authors today. The seem to think for some reason the average person salts their conversations with this foul mouthed trash. I don't know of anyone who communicates like this and I have many associates and friends. Why do they have to demean an otherwise marvelous book with that type language? Anyway I have learned to skip over he obscenities and read for the stories and this one kept my attention from page one. I do recommend going to Mary Stones web page and downloading the "winters origin" first for the back story. Just skip the profanity please. No need for all those F bombs. I'd hate to hang out with her friends and family if they talk that way.

Eerie Cruelty

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019

I could not enjoy the interesting, but eerie plot of this book because of the extensive (over 200) swear words. I did feel sorry for the protagonist Winter because of her traumatic past experiences I respected her extensive training and her perseverance. I did appreciate the few characters that pursued good projects and those who changed for the better.
Because I had told the author that I would read and review Winter’s Mourn, I completed reading the novel. I then deleted it from my device. I will not read any others in the series, even though the story of Winter and her little brother Justin didn’t finish. It’s a cliffhanger book.

Mary Stone knows how to write a thriller! A series not to be missed!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019

Having read Winter's Origin I knew I had to follow Winter as an FBI agent who had an objective in mind--to find the murderer of her parents and the abductor of her younger brother. She had very unusual abilities ever since she woke out of the coma from that fateful night. When the color red appears she knows she has found a suspect in which ever case she is working.

She is paired with another rookie and sent to the town where it all happened. It seems that a body has been found--and then more bodies and more bodies! All but one are very young children--Agent Black and her too handsome partner are bound and determined to get to the bottom of it all--even though the local police are not very helpful--at least not at the beginning.

There was a deep dark secret in this town--and it took all Winter's ingenuity and special abilities to ferret out the truth and save her old friend--and a young girl.

Meanwhile the person who had murdered her family was watching and dropping notes--actually stalking Winter--

When you get to the end of this psychological thriller most but not all will be revealed. I read it in one sitting-I could not put it down! I will definitely be reading more of this series--Mary Stone knows how to write a thriller!

WINTER IS NOT HOT?

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

1. Interesting story, but a little juvenile "talk", is like Dalton and Winter are competing to be "King and King" of the Prom. Adjectives like: Beautiful, models, etc... A little immature

2. I got since the first pages that the "Preacher" story isn't going to be solved in this book. Stone decides to place both stories and trying to keep them apart but failed. Just made a mix of errors.

3. The main characters doesn't live up to expectations, the more worked is Winter, the others need more.

4. The vocabulary used is not enough "mature" or interesting, is like this story is for Teens and Young-Adults.

Winter’s story will keep you reading...forget sleeping until the book is finished

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2019

I’m not one to purchase books...I just get them from the library. But after reading the prequel, I had to read Winter’s Mourn. This book was fast paced and kept me thinking about what would happen next. The author introduced the characters well and evenly throughout the story. Even though there was a bit of a cliff hanger, the basic story was complete I look forward to reading the next book and follow Winter’s activities in the FBI.

Heartbreaking, suspenseful, and terrifying look into criminal minds

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved trying to solve Winter's first case as an FBI agent along with her and her partner, Noah. Crimes against children are involved so be warned. It seems that this case may have ties to Winter's past, but they just don't know. What Winter knows, though, is The Preacher - the man who killed her family and stole her little brother - is still around, taunting her. Why did he do it?
I'm enjoying the whole plot of this book that deals with broken minds, greed, and psychos (hopefully, eventually) getting caught and shut down for good! I recommend this series to crime/mystery/thriller fans and will definitely continue reading them myself.

A cozy reader

You won't mourn this buy!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love it when I find an author of a series that I get quickly hooked on. This is the start of that type of series. I read for an hour before bed, or in this case, a couple hours until I fall asleep with the kindle on my lap. This author has just the right blend of a teeny bit of believable freakiness mixed with excellent character development, and just a hint of romance. Winter is a great character as are her fellow agents, Noah and The head of the Behavior Analysis Unit. I have already bought all the rest of the books in the series because.....that's how I roll :) Enjoy!
