I loved the first book of this series so I was eagerly waiting to read this one.

It started well enough but I feel the plot lost it's way a little in the middle. It really picked up again though and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.

Mack is a fascinating character and we found out more about her past in this book.

Really looking forward to book 3 now.

A grim, gripping and highly entertaining story, a page turner I couldn't put down and inhaled in one aftertnoon.
I loved the first book in this series and found it excellent. This one is better.
There's plenty of character and plot development in this story. 
We get to know better the story of Mackenzie and her character arc is very interesting as she faces her past and her present. I found her a great character in the first book but couldn't help thinking that she was prisoner of past and wasn't able to enjoy the present. Her character is changing and I loved how she faces the issues in her life.
The mystery is complex, sometimes disturbing, and it's full of twists and turns. The solution came as a surprise.
I appreciated the empathy of the author toward the victims and how she felt for them.
The story start with a bang and ends with another bang.
I can't wait to read the next instalment as I want to know what will be next.
Even if it's part of a series it can be read as a stand alone.
An excellent book that I strongly recommend.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

(4.5) Twisted!  Not your standard fair, much more in depth  mystery, intrigue, lots of action, and anguish.  I have not read book 1,  this  can be read as a stand alone, but if your like me you will now look at detectives with questions.  MacKenzie is one intense, confused, dedicated detective.  When her life situation became to much, Nick popped up and brought a little light, a little less stress to my troubled mind.  I mean intense!  I figured some of it out, but then towards the end it was wham, shocker!  Then the absolute ending had me hurt for MacKenzie.  Just a really well done crazy ride.  Thank you Bookoutore and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this arc.  I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

This is book two in the Mackensie Price series, and I really enjoyed it. I somehow missed that this was from a series until I was finished reading it, but it reads brilliantly as a standalone,  and has made me want to read book one. 
This book kept me guessing right until the end, and I still didn't get it right!! 
I love police procedural,  and really liked Mack as a character,  this is a series I will go back to each time a new book is released.
This book starts with two dead bodies,  and both victims look alike, I enjoyed the twists and turns along the way, it seemed each time I thought I knew what was happening,  there was another spanner in the works! 
Overall a good and entertaining book, and  a new series for me to enjoy!!

Thank You Netgalley and the Bookouture for the ARC of this book! This review is based on my honest opinion.

This is the second book of the Detective Mackenzie Price series and although I haven't read the first book yet, this book was actually really good. The story starts with Detective Mackenzie Price meeting her father, the man she thought was dead many years ago and buried in the backyard of her childhood house. Then after the corruption faced by the Lakemore PD and trying to move on, two bodies of women were found in an ice park in Lakemore--the women looked identical to each other. and one of these women is identified as Katy, an activist in Lakemore. The second victim, who looked very much like Katy seemed to have undergone plastic surgery to look much like her. Detective Price must solve the cases while solving her personal issues with her father.

The writing was really good and I was hooked into the story!!! It was intriguing, interesting and unputdownable with lot of twists and unexpected turns you would never expect!!! The ending left me breathless that I was a bit shocked and was actually unexpected. Kudos to the author, who did a good job keeping the reader hooked into the story! I really like Ruhi Chaudary's writing--the descriptions of the places made me imagine as a reader that I was with Mackenzie Price and the scientific details of the the plastic surgery was realistic and accurate. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Overall, I rate this book as five stars!

This is the second in the series with Detective Mad Mack. This is a convoluted mystery where the person whom we think is the victim is not the victim.  In the meantime Mack has reconnected with her father and is estranged  from her husband. So that backstory also continues to build. I suspect I see where it’s going but nice again this book ends with a big event.  Not a fan of that technique. But I still enjoy this character and the series.

I was given a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

TERRIFIC reading in this police procedural involving the murder of two women look-.a-.likes. Unusual storyline that pulls you in & doesn't let go.  First time reading this author & will definitely backtrack to read #1. Great characters, well written, suspenseful & RECOMMEND highly.  Thanks to NetGalley & Bookouture for this ARC in return for my honest review.

This book started, and finished, with a fast pace. Bodies turning up, all looking similar, an edgy lead character, a complex investigation, quirky residents of Lakemore, clever writing and a fantastic ending! It's a dark and thrilling read. I have no hesitation in recommending this book. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

I will definitely be checking out the first book from this series and can't wait for the next one. The main characters are easy to like and I enjoyed reading this! Definitely a twist towards the end I didn't see coming which I think most enjoy in a thriller book! This book leaves you wanting more!

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this.

Their Frozen Graves is the second book in this series featuring Detective Mackenzie Price.  Although I've not read the first book, the book works as a stand alone.
from description:  


"When two bodies are found dumped in a vast lake in Lakemore, Washington, Detective Mackenzie Price is first on the scene. She identifies one of the victims as Katy Becker, a local known for her work helping the community. The other victim looks strikingly similar.

Still grappling with a shocking revelation from her past, Mack is only too happy to throw herself into the case. But when she goes to break the news to Katy’s husband, the investigation takes an unexpected turn: Katy is very much alive, and has never met the women who resemble her so closely."

A twisty plot and an engrossing read.  I liked Mackenzie and may look for the first book.

This was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  After reading the first in this series that ended with a jaw dropping cliffhanger, I couldn't wait to read this book.  However, the beginning didn't hold my interest and I felt like this book was taking forever.  That being said, about maybe a 3rd of the way through, I read and read and read.  Although I liked the first book better, this was not a disappointment.   Two women's bodies are found by fishermen during a snow storm.  Mackenzie and the team rush to find the who and why behind their deaths.  And of course, there is a little personal drama mixed in for Mackenzie to figure out.  Oh and then the ending (epilogue) sucks you in and now I can't wait for #3 to come out.  Hats off Ruhi Choudhary!  Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture.  This book is set to release January 7, 2021.

It's been snowing in Lakemore, Washington which doesn't help detectives Mackenzie Price and Nick Blackwood when they are called to a murder scene in Woodburn Park. Of the two women one is easily identifiable, Katy Becker, a local woman who has a popular social media presence, the other is a stranger, but this stranger looks so like her dead companion they could be sisters, except they aren't. 

Why would anyone change their appearance so they looked like a social influencer and why were they murdered together in a popular local park? These two questions, although confusing, are only the beginning of a case which will test Mack, Nick, and the beleaguered Lakemore PD to their limits. The brief moments of downtime Mack has is spent trying to dismantle and put back together her childhood memories and the remains of her marriage. Almost everything else will be put on hold while they try to understand what happened and why. 

In the second of Ruhi Choudhary's great series both Mack and Nick are engaging, believable protagonists within a very good group who, after the first book, are definitely up against more than just the criminals whose crimes they investigate. Add a new lieutenant to the mix and its satisfaction levels for the reader soar. 

Although Mack has a much more complicated back story than Nick, theirs is a partnership whose normality in all scenarios is a welcome relief. The crimes in this book appear confusing, which they are, but their originality means it's hard to put this book down once you start reading. The various threads come together throughout the book in a most satisfying manner and head toward a denouement which provides hope and shock in equal measure. 

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. I enjoyed this book immensely and the more I read the better it became. Highly recommended.

A superb follow up of the series with the characters evolving around each other at work. But Mack seems confused in her personal relationship, taking so long to decide. The story and the plot are very good with the twists awesome. A must read, which I would suggest to read in the order though it works well as a stand alone.

First off I want to say huge  thank you to the publisher Bookouture,  the author Ruhi Choudhary , and to NetGalley for inviting me to join the blog tour for this book as well as letting me read and review it. Because as soon as I realized it was book 2 to Our Daughter's Bones
( Detective Mackenzie Price Series ) I had to say yes, because I loved the first one and something was telling me this would be just as good and it was, it was non stop from the very start and just as twist and dark as the first one ,maybe a bit more but that's what I love about this series ,is how the author keeps surprising us with the twist and turns she writes in her series. And how the story is told entirely from Mackenzie’s point of view so that you as the reader can get fully engrossed , as well as see the characters come to life,and how the dark secrets just keep coming so much so that you have no idea who is telling the truth or who can be trusted. All you can do is set back and enjoy the ride to the very end

It’s sometimes hard, when you read a lot of series, to remember where the previous story ended. The author kindly helps her readers by adding a prologue to this part to freshen up their minds. 
It all came rushing back and I was engrossed straight away. Not only were a few things from the private life of Micky revealed but that made it not any easier on her. She has a lot to think about, deal with and some hard decisions to make.
But revelations don’t always mean that everything is smelling of roses now. Sometimes they trigger other things and do you have to keep on digging or let the past be the past?
I really enjoy the relationship between Micky and her partner Nick. They work very well together and the banter is often hilarious.
The case they get thrown in their lapses is though. Every time they get a clue it seems that other questions rise in stead of solving them. 
Did I have an idea about who the culprit was? Yes, I did and I was happy to notice I seem to get better and better. Is it too late to train as a detective? LOL.
Anyway there was enough that I did not work out and I really enjoyed the story thoroughly. I am looking forward to the next part, because I am convinced that it will be as great as this one and the previous one. 5 stars.
Thank you, Ruhi Choudhary and Bookouture

Detective Mackenzie is dealing with a lot of things in her personal life - a cheating husband who wants to rekindle their romance, a long lost father who is supposed to be dead and an unmatchable need to be in control. On their own, any of this would be enough to break someone. But Mackenzie is determined to show that she can handle all of this and so much more.

Fortunately (or unfortunately?) for her, Lakemore has a killer that is more than happy to take her attention away from her personal life for a bit. The discovery of two bodies that appear almost identical is just the start of this crazy mystery. A mystery that has so many twists and turns that you almost can’t catch up. But once you do and you think you’ve figured it all out, be prepared for one more final surprise.

As always, Ruhi Choudhary leaves you wanting more and more. I know I can speak for others when I say I’m not the only one already anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.

Mackenzie Price has even more to deal with in Their Frozen Graves by Ruhi Choudhary. Not only is this case of women who look very similar puzzling her - she's also got her relationship with Sterling, and potentially one with her father weighing on her mind. The reader will feel Mack's emotions and cheer her on as she works to solve these murders, as well as a 16-year old suicide that may be related. And the ending!!! WOWZA. The next installment of this series is going to be even more amazing!!

Mackenzie Price is a detective in the Detective Unit at the small Washington town of Lakemore. Life for her had been less than easy and wasn't about to get any better when the past quite suddenly and unexpectedly comes back to haunt her.

Two bodies are found by local fishermen, incredibly, they look almost identical and there is a distinct resemblance to a local activist.

For Mackenzie and the team it is the start of a complex and disturbing investigation that has so many twists, sends them searching for answers and will turn what they thought they knew on its head.

Their Frozen Graves is a gripping and tightly plotted crime thriller that really kept me completely engaged all the way through and I certainly didn't work out who the perpetrator was.

Ruhi Choudhary had created a fabulous character in Mackenzie along with many others and I look forward to meeting some of them again when Mackenzie returns.
A Brilliant novel- loved it and would definitely recommend.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for an ARC for my honest review.
