If you love Cold Girl, you can go right out and buy Undertow and Creep. Great to be a fan of RM Greenaway @rmg1622 who just keeps those great BC Blues mysteries coming! @dundurnpress nitter.cf/DavidAPoulsen/status/1…

Finished reading @rmg1622 first book in the BC Blues mystery series, Cold Girl. My reaction in a word--Wow!! It should be at the top of your summer reading list (well, right after the #CullenandCobb series, of course). Well done, Rachel. @dundurnpress
