Purchase options and add-ons
Not much happens in the city of Langley, especially in the dead of winter, and that's precisely the way newly assigned Chief of Police Jagar Bowie prefers it. For years, Jag served the city of Seattle as one of its finest homicide detectives. He solved more murders than anyone else in his department. But it was the one he hadn't solved that ruined his career and still haunted his dreams. No matter how hard he tries, he can't stop searching for the Trinket Killer. And he can't get Callie Dixon out of his heart. When Callie Dixon returned to Seattle to finish her book about her time as a reporter covering the Trinket Killer, her own sister's death, and the police officer who botched the case and stole her heart, she never expected history would repeat itself. But that's exactly what happened. And now her life, and heart are on the line.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024I really loved the combination of suspense and romance in this book. It kept me on edge trying to figure out who the killer actually was and if Callie and Jag were ever going to get back together. Very highly recommend reading it. You won’t be sorry!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024This story keeps you on the edge of your seat,it has a lot of suspence, danger and keeps you turning the page to see what happens next until the end looking forward to reading more books from this author
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023A cop and an investigative reporter are an interesting mix. Jager and Callie were the perfect couple until the investigation that brought them together, tears them apart. Callie's sister is a victim of the 'Trinket Killer'. It's her death that triggers Callie into a spiral of accusations and guilt that lead to her losing her job and her fiancé.
Now a year later, Callie's written a book about the case, one that puts the victims in the forefront. She's interviewed many people and put together many things that weren't part of the original investigation and botched arrest.
Jager also fell to the aftermath of that investigation, but he's in a better place now. As Chief of Police of Whidbey Island, the most exciting part of the day is a speeding ticket. When Callie shows up it seems all those feelings are going to come back to the surface. She's come to apologize for her actions and also to get an interview with him for the book.
With a bunch of trinkets they are suddenly on the look-out for the killer to resurface. When he does, it's as bad as ever. Jager isn't in charge of the investigation and Callie isn't a reporter anymore. They will have to work together to dissect the evidence of the previous murders and find the clues to identify the killer once and for all.
I absolutely loved this book, I was on the edge of my seat through it all. I was also wrong in all my guesses as to who the killer was. The way Callie and Jager become involved romantically again is full of ups and downs with romance, laughter and tears too.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023I have always enjoyed Jen Talty's books and this one is no exception. Jagar Bowie worked as a homicide detective with the Seattle Police Department. He was good at his job but also had an arrogance too until the wrong man was arrested as “The Trinket Killer” and his fiancée Callie, a news reporter for the local station, of less than twenty-four hours called him out on it in the news as well as broke their engagement at the same time on National Television. What sparked all that was her sister had been the latest victim as well as her only relative. She needed someone to blame so Jag was it. Shre moved away and Jag is now the Sheriff on Whidbey. He has never given up his search for the Trinket Killer but keeps everything in an office at his home under lock and key. It is considered a cold case but he has never given up on finding the killer. Now a year later, Callie Dixon has returned to town to finish a book she has written about this serial killer and wants to interview Jag for it. When she walks into his home office and sees all the women victims, she realizes he hasn't given up at all. When they realize they both have good ideas, they start working together to pull all the information together to try to figure out who it is. There hadn’t been any reported killings since her sister but now that she has returned, the murders have started again. When you start reading, see if you can figure out who it is and why.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023Jagar and Callie had it all. Newly engaged, and then their world fell apart. Jagar is the lead detective heading up the investigation of the serial killer known as the Trinket Killer. Callie is an investigative reporter covering the story. When her sister becomes the latest victim, she blames Jagar and their lives fall apart. A year goes by, and during that time Callie writes a book about the killings. She comes back to Seattle to interview Jagar, and goes to Whidbey Island where Jagar is now the chief of police. For a year the killings stopped. Now that Callie is back in town they have started again. The race has begun for Callie and Jagar to try to re-examine the evidence and try to find the killer. Love the twists and turns trying to find the killer, as well as Jagar and Callie finding their way back to each other.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023Investigative reporter Callie Dixon’s claws are deep into one story, The Trinket Killer. She and enemy turned lover Jagar Bowie, one of Seattle’s finest homicide detectives worked closely together, he on the case and she on the story, but still withheld secrets while digging for clues and answers to this crime until her sister was one of the victims. Then, all bets were off. After the dust settled, Callie left town. A year later, Callie has returned with a book about the killer in progress and asks Jag to allow her to interview him for his point of view which he naturally declines. What she didn’t expect was when she returned, so did the Trinket Killer. Now they working together, this time trying to stop a killer before it’s too late.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2023Chief Jag Bowie retired from the Seattle PD and found his spot as the Langley Chief of Police. A much quieter existence than his previous job of detective after the botched investigation of the Trinket Killer. His secret girlfriend, Callie, during the investigation was an investigative reporter. When her sister was murdered, they both said things that shouldn't have been said and went their separate ways. Neither forgetting about the other. A year later Callie returns to interview Jag to finish her book about the Trinket Killer. It brings up past feelings of love, hurt, and mistrust. Now that Callie is back, so is the killer. It is a race to solve the serial murders before Callie pays the ultimate price. I received an ARC and I'm voluntarily reviewing it.
