Is any case too cold to crack?
Book 8 in the popular Lessons in Murder series, by award-winning, best-selling author Edale Lane.

Jenna’s gaze lingers over the diamond rings in the showcase. She wants to pop the question to her partner Randi if she can only arrange the perfect proposal. Per usual, her work as Roanoke PD’s leading homicide detective gets in the way, not to mention the inconveniences of an early winter storm.

Randi, who knows Jenna isn’t ready for marriage, has a surprise planned for their first anniversary. She’s also crafting a strategy to visit both their families for Christmas while preparing for the end of the semester.

When a dying mother asks Jenna to investigate her daughter’s unsolved murder from thirty years ago, she can’t refuse. Despite the unlikelihood of success, she digs into the past and interviews whoever is still alive. But will buried concerns unearthed by the investigation give Jenna cold feet?

Cold in Murder is another hit for Edale Lane. Solving a 30 year old murder was on the agenda for Jenna and Trish. Watching Jenna and Randi’s relationship being taken to the next level was icing on the cake.

Good read. My only complaint is that the ending was very abrupt and I would have liked to have seen the Christmas aspect of the story play out.

5.0 out of 5 stars ENTERTAINING & SUSPENSEFUL!
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024
Lieutenant Detective, Jenna Ferrari is out on a jewelry store, burglary investigation. As usual her team of expert detectives are with her: Trisha Jamison, Ron Owens and Ethan Bauman, everything is handled smoothly. Besides taking care of business, her eyes have been wandering over the engagement rings. She just doesn’t know what to select and has big plans for the evening. The only thing left to do is call on the classy and stylish Trisha for advice.

Before ring shopping, police business comes first. Jenna’s called on by one of the officers when a woman comes to the station for help. A sixty-eight year old, African
American woman, Donna Ramsey, continues her search for closure and her time is running short. Her daughter Shondra, at eighteen years old, was a senior at Roanoke High School and shot on her way home. The case dates back to March 1993 and is very much cold. No matter how many times Mrs. Ramsey inquired about her daughters case she never got a decent response.

Jenna’s plan with Randi is almost perfect, she’s only a few minutes late. But, of course, a police persons life is never without it’s interruptions and Jenna is called away.
Once she makes it home she still has quality time with Randi, but now her plans have changed. Will she ever find that right moment to seal a firm commitment to Randi?

As Jenna and Trisha investigate the 1993 cold case they visit one of the veteran officers involved, the somewhat disgruntled, Lt. Jonny Butler. He and rookie Officer Casey Brenner worked the case. Butler advises them to check in with Sgt. Diego Hernandez of the drugs and gang division in a different area of the precinct. Sgt. Hernandez can only share high praise for both officers. The case points to gang activity and takes Jenna and Trisha into the dark, Red Onion State Prison in Wise County Virginia. They will face the evil and nastiness of Carlos Castro, the leader of the Latin Kings. The case will have Jenna and Trisha re-visiting Johnny Butler and Casey Brenner for the reasons that they don’t remember.

The case of Shondra Ramsey will bring up issues that will have Jenna thinking of her future and family. Her emotions will take her from anger, fear and worry. Will she be able to put it all aside and have one true moment of happiness?

Edale Lane focuses heavily on both Jenna and Trish as they meticulously go through the process of investigating a 1993 cold case. Jenna is always observant of her team and she never goes without verbal or thoughtful compliments. She’s always encouraging them in any way possible. There’s a moment when she takes time to think about the Officer Murphy. She shows her support for Ron Owen, who’s needs to take the detective exam. She’s always proud of Trisha and she gives Jenna lot’s of pointers in romance. I love the little teasers about Ethan Bauman and his coyness and Mario Sanchez.

Jenna still finds she needs to work on her anger issue and has found a way to control it. There’s also moments of remembrance and sadness with the issue of Alzheimer’s, that doesn’t just effect the elderly. It makes her think of the future and what it all means for her and Randi. Will her fears and doubts put a halt to her plan?

I highly recommend, “Cold in Murder” book eight of the “Lessons in Murder” series. Edale Lane is just fantastic in bringing so many different types of cases that are step by step investigation. I’m excited for Edale Lane and how well this series has been accepted. I’m hanging on for the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another page turner!
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024
Once again Edale Lane has written a great book! Her words are meaningful & she has developed the relationship between Jenna & Randi & made it into something spectacular.

Jenna with her investigative skills & Randi teaching at the college, you would think they didn't have much in common. Edale has shown them to be compatible in every day life. Randi keeps Jenna's temper under control & she listens to her & pays attention to her body language.

Anyway, Jenna is once again faced with a "cold case" & has set out to look at the case & try to come up with an answer. The answer she finds Is one that bothers her & one that has no easy solution to overcome the inequities. You will not be disappointed with this book, but rest assured that it will make you angry, sad & a lot of other emotions inside those pages. It is certainly a page turner & I read it in one sitting!

I wonder if there will be another book with these two MC's. There are still a few unresolved issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging!
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024
This is the eighth book in the Lesson in Love series. It was very entertaining from the start. After successfully closing the case of a jewelry store robbery, Jenna was tasked with solving a 30 year old cold case which involved the murder of an eighteen year old high school senior.
Additionally, the relationship between Jenna and Randi became even stronger with the possibility of a proposal. Jenna wanted everything to be perfect with the best romantic setting. This proved to be harder than she thought it would be.

I loved how the cold case evolved and its end result. There was also an added emotional depth to this storyline involving cancer treatments and dealing with Alzheimer’s and the role of caretaker. It was very realistic in nature and both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It was beautifully written.

Overall, this was a very engaging read. If you read the other books in this series you won’t want to miss this eighth book. If you enjoy a good mystery with interesting characters then this series will not disappoint.
