Cold Ambition is a book that has you wishing from the first page you could read faster. The story is written in first person as many detective stories are but the characters’ interactions and conversations are so well interwoven with the heroine’s that you don’t notice. These characters talk to each other which is refreshing to read.The story is full of twists, dead ends and surprises as Jordon works the case while dealing with her family in Louisiana. Not an easy task since she is in Boston and the case takes her to New York.Rachel Sharpe has created in her heroine Jordon James a character that has depth. Jordon has family problems, boyfriend issues, job issues, and issues in trying to solve a twenty-year-old cold case murder. The other characters that surround Jordon have their own distinctive characteristics that Jordon deals with while handling her own. There were occasions when it felt as if Jordon was whining about her problems a little too much but the plot, mystery and other characters more than made up for that small issue.Looking forward to seeing more in this series from this author. I was provided an ARC for an honest review.
