Frozen Stiff (A Chase Adams FBI Thriller Book 1)

I really expected this book to be, well, boring. I don't usually like FBI type books. However, I was hooked from page one, and I can't wait to read the next book in this brilliant series. The characters were so life like, and I enjoyed the way each scene played out. The suspense kept my adrenaline up, and the ending left me wanting more.

I give Frozen Stiff - A Chase Adams FBI Thriller by Patrick Logan 4 stars. We are first met by Chase Adams who is running from someone sinister and who wants her dead. We then flash back a few weeks where we see Chase in her NYC apartment where she receives a call from a gentleman telling her to be on a plane, that she's going on assignment to Anchorage, Alaska. She's a new FBI agent and has been anxiously awaiting "the call" and now it's finally come. She packs her bags and off she goes to the airport, where she's stopped and scrutinized by security. Finally, she gets on the plane just in time as the gate was closing. When she finally arrives in Anchorage, she finds her bags have been lost including her gun and her winter coat. So, off she goes to the scene where two women have been so brutally killed, where their feet have been cut-off. She's met by Special Agent Martinez, who notices her lack of a winter coat in the cold, frigid temps, offers her his extra red parka, which she gratefully takes. Off they go to the morgue to hear the ME's assessment of the young women's condition. Here they learn not only have their feet been cut but they were also cauterized as well. When Chase touches one of the victims' feet, she instantly is taken to the time of the killing and she believes she actually has become the victim... this experience had never happened before and it catches her off guard at first; however, as the story progresses this phenomenon comes to her aid in solving the case. As the case progresses and Chase' sense of who the killer really is becoming more clear, Martinez oddly heads off on another case where he soon calls Chase and has her meet him in Boston. Here they find two more victims only these victims are missing their hands, they were found in the river. As things continue to progress, Chase begins realizing who the real killer is and in no time, she knows her life is in danger and she must get out before it's too late. Will Chase find the true killer in time? Or will the killer prevail? This story is well thought out and developed nicely, with lots of great twists and turns and takes the reader on quite the ride and wonderment at who the real killer is. The character of Chase is well developed, she starts off green so to speak and we see her progress as the story unfolds and she grows into a very wise and established FBI agent as well as dealing with some factors in her past. However, some parts of her past have not been tied up, there are loose ends still dangling with her character. Also, many blaring editing errors. This is why I give this 4 stars, loose ends and editing errors. Otherwise, a wonderful book and if you enjoy a good mystery with a strong female character, then this is the book for you!

Frozen Stiff is about a new FBI agent inner first case but things are not adding up not just for the investigation, also with the FBI itself. As events unfold it was predictable who the villain was. The. Overall story was interesting and kept me reading. It was good enough that I am looking forward to the next book.

If you like thriller/mystery books grab this one! This is the first time I've read something by this author and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Captured my attention from the first page to the last and while I'm pretty good figuring out the bad guys, this wasn't a slam dunk. I'll be binge reading more of Patrick Logan's book for sure! Well done Mister Logan! I am now hooked!

When I see a book that has a female FBI agent as its chief protagonist I can’t resist. The blurb describing Frozen Stiff is intriguing. Although I never heard of author Patrick Logan, I decided to give it a try. Touted as a “female sleuth” and “police procedural” story I looked forward to a compelling read. The prologue was good. It showed grit and the promise of an action-packed journey ahead. Then from the first chapter, this book went way off track. Waking from a bad dream Chase Adams answers her phone to a stranger’s voice. She is instructed by an unknown FBI agent instructing her to go to the airport where tickets to Alaska have been left for her. Suddenly, without any FBI training Chase is thrust into an FBI investigation led by Agent Martinez who she has ever met. He tells her she has been recruited by an agent she worked with on one of her cases with the NYPD. The notion that the FBI recruits’ agents in this fashion is ridiculous. But I decided to plod on. Chase is immediately drawn into a bizarre case where two young women are found frozen in the Alaska snow, naked, with their feet sawed off. There are some interesting clues throughout the story and Chase proves to be adept at following them. Martinez is not happy with her despite her ability to figure things out. The mystery doesn’t end in Alaska. The duo is then off to Boston to investigate another mysterious murder. Once again Chase shows skill at following the trail. The police procedures described are not accurate but interesting enough to keep my attention. About halfway through the book, I’d figured out what was going on. I was surprised Chase didn’t see where things were headed. It’s a good plot, if somewhat predictable. If the author had done more research into police and FBI procedures, I would have given this 5-stars. However, the absurdity of a former narcotics officer and a sergeant in the NYPD not questioning a late-night phone call from a stranger pulling her into an investigation was just too silly to be believed. If you can get past the Martinez call and his behavior toward Chase, this is a decent suspense thriller.

Frozen Stiff is a gripping introduction to the Chase Adams FBI Thriller series that hooks readers from the very first page. Patrick Logan masterfully blends psychological suspense with high-stakes action as Agent Chase Adams—brilliant, haunted, and relentless—dives into a chilling case set against the stark, unforgiving winter backdrop. The pacing is razor-sharp, the twists are genuinely surprising, and the atmosphere drips with tension. Logan has created a compelling new heroine in Chase Adams, and Frozen Stiff is a stellar start that will leave thriller fans eager for the next installment.

I couldn’t put the book down . Stayed up hours to finish it. I was willing chase on all through. A great read for those who love murder and police procedure.

I enjoy reading this type of story. I love the suspense. I am a big fan of crime novels. I wasn’t able to put this book down I read it in one day. I am looking forward to the next 10
