4.30.2025 - Cold Burn

Cold Burn by A.J. Landau 

Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the next in the National Parks Thriller series by AJ Landau.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

We connect back with National Park Service special Agent Michael Walker who is called in to investigate a missing geological survey team in Alaska.  In the Florida Everglades, FBI special investigator Gina Delgado is investigating the murder of an environmental science intern.  Add in a frozen wooly mammoth and a strange contagion causing people to freeze from the inside out and you have the markings of a thriller!

I enjoyed reading about the latest adventures of this duo, even though they were working in separate areas.  There's a lot going on here, but Landau skillfully weaves everything together, including themes of climate control and conspiracy.  As in the first book, I like the snippets of National Park trivia between chapters.  The story is fast-paced and tense, and you'll be rooting for the good guys.  Hope there's more to come in this series!
