“One sensational read! Wow, this one just completely blew me away. If you are looking for a brand new series to sink your teeth into, then look no further. A must read!” Once Upon A Time Book Blog, 5 stars
Madison walked through the fallen snow, looking left and right. It had been Kaylee’s idea to use the trail through the forest; she said no one would follow them. But Madison lost sight of Kaylee for a moment and when she found her again she wasn’t alone…
In the remote forests of Stillwater, Minnesota, you can scream for days and no one will hear you. So when the bodies of two fifteen-year-old girls are discovered frozen in the snow, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is sure the killer is local: someone knew where to hide the girls and thought they would never be found.
Though Nikki hasn’t been home in twenty years, she knows she must take over the case. The Sheriff’s department in Stillwater has already made a mistake by connecting the girls’ murders to those of a famous serial killer, refusing to consider the idea that the killer could be someone from town.
Then another girl’s body is found, a red silk ribbon tied in her hair, and Nikki realizes that the killer has a connection to her own dark past, and the reason she left Stillwater.
Nikki is not the only person in town who wants those secrets to stay hidden. Will she be able to face her demons before another child is taken?
Gripping and spine-chilling, The Girls in the Snow will make you gasp, unable to put it down until the final heart-pounding twist. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Robert Dugoni.

The Girls in the Snow by Stacy Green
This was one of those thrillers that creeps up on you—not just with the mystery, but with the emotions too. At first glance, the story feels like your typical crime investigation, but the deeper I got into it, the more I realized how layered it truly was. The emotions weren’t flashy or overdone; instead, they were subtle, almost quiet—but that’s what made them powerful. It’s like they were tucked between the lines, showing up in the way characters paused, avoided eye contact, or said too little. That quiet intensity had me hooked before I even noticed.
I found myself caring more and more about the characters without meaning to—especially Niki. Her past, her vulnerability, and her strength were woven in so naturally that it didn’t feel like the book was trying to manipulate my feelings. I just felt them. The mystery was gripping, but it was those small emotional beats that really stuck with me. I didn’t expect to be so moved by a crime thriller, but Stacy Green has a way of digging into her characters that feels real. It’s subtle, but it lingers
