BOOK REVIEW: Long Lost Winter by Nicole Helm

Long Lost Winter by Nicole Helm

A Western Edge Mystery, Book 3

Tule Publishing (December 3, 2025)

Mystery

A stranger with no name. A family with too much to hide. And a storm that could bury the truth forever.

Private investigator Samantha Price thought winter in Marietta, Montana might slow things down. But with the high-profile trial of Benjamin Bennet dominating headlines, and her agency, Honor’s Edge Investigations, busier than ever, there’s no rest in sight. Especially when a rugged John Doe—who looks alarmingly like Nate Bennet—walks in seeking help to uncover his past.

DNA says he’s family. But there’s no record of who he was before. No name. No past. No trail to follow.

The deeper Sam and Nate dig into the tangled branches of the Bennet family tree, the more disturbing the picture becomes. As long-buried secrets come to light, their search for answers draws unwanted attention—and someone will do anything to keep those answers hidden.

When a dangerous storm descends on the mountains, Marietta is cut off—and so are Sam and Nate. Now, the clock is ticking. Can they uncover the truth in time to give a man back his name…without losing their lives in the process?

REVIEW

The brothers continue to reunite and work together. I love how they are healing and have come together as a team to put their father away for murder. I also like how they poke at one another, now more in fun and to get under each other’s skin then to do it out of anger. We have a mysterious stranger which I’m sure will make an appearance in forthcoming books. Next book promises to get to the bottom of Glenda’s background and perhaps find out about her muteness.

This is book three in the Western Edge Mystery series and it is a continuing storyline so to fully appreciate the story, you are encouraged to start with book 1 (Double Edge Reckoning).
