Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Searching for her best friend’s remains could help forensic anthropologist Melanie Hutton regain her memories of when they were both kidnapped—unless the killer gets to Melanie first. For her safety, Melanie must rely on Detective Jason Cooper, who still blames her for his sister’s death. Can Jason set the past aside to solve the cold-case murder…and shield Melanie from the same fate?


My Review:
Buried Cold Case Secrets is a Christian romantic suspense. Melanie and her best friend were kidnapped as teenagers. She escaped and went for help, but her friend was gone when they returned and was presumed dead. Melanie can't remember whodunit or many details about the kidnapping but has returned to work her friend's cold case. Someone's determined to kill her before she remembers or uncovers the truth. Jason blamed her for abandoning his sister to die but he still cares for Melanie. As he protects her, he soon realizes he jumped to conclusions and never gave her a chance to explain.

The main characters reacted realistically to events, and I cared about what happened to them. Melanie and Jason worked well together and supported each other. The suspense came from someone repeatedly attacking them (and others) in an effort to prevent them from discovering the truth. There was some prayer for God's help and Melanie and Jason forgave each other. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.
