Book Review: Hunting The Five Point Killer by CM Wendelboe set in Cheyenne, USA (a Bitter Winds story)

Available on  Amazon

When sassy local TV reporter Ana Maria Villareal stirs up interest about the cold case murders of three Cheyenne Police Officers, she enlists the help of old friend and retired detective, Arn Anderson. The local police don't take too kindly to an interloper, even if that interloper's roots lie in Cheyenne, looking at cases they failed to solve first time round.  

Arn's return to Cheyenne opens up baggage he thought he'd disposed of years previously when he re-opens his old family home and alongside his emotions and the investigation it seems that Ana Maria is being stalked.  Is her stalker the serial killer the three dead officers were investigating at the time of their deaths.  has he come out of retirement after so many years?  
With a cast of characters from a handyman with an assumed name, to a retired detective, a smart TV reporter, a dodgy mechanic and one of the victim's sons, there is an abundance of suspects.
So, what did I like about this book?  Well I liked the fact that Arn isn't your typical youngish cocksure, impulsive, detective.  Arn's dead pan observations about his past abilities in comparison to his current ones is appealing and the hint of romance threaded neatly in is quite engaging too.
The mystery of the Five Point killer is magnified through chilling sections written from the killer's viewpoint.  This gives the story a sort of aura of impending doom.
An interesting four star read for me.
