Cold to the Touch

De: Kerri Hakoda

Narrado por: Eric Fox, Abigail Reno

When the body of a barista is found in the once-pristine Alaskan snow, Anchorage homicide detective DeHavilland Beans is gutted to recognize the young woman, Jolene. He’d bought coffee from her every morning and knew her as a bright college student working her way through school. Devastated by the murder and by the life cut short, Beans vows to find the killer.

Since scavengers damaged the body, obtaining any usable evidence is impossible, even with the assistance of wildlife expert Raisa Ingalls, Beans’s ex. When the body of another woman is found, a serial killer is suspected, and the FBI joins the hunt.

After a third body turns up, Beans is desperate to find the killer—especially when another woman goes missing. With the murderer moving so quickly, Beans and his team are determined to stop the spree and catch the killer before it's too late. Pulse-pounding and vividly depicted, this Alaskan thriller will electrify fans of Lisa Gardner and true-crime junkies fascinated by the Israel Keyes case.

First rate!

Characters well developed and great story. Climax builds to edge of your seat! Highly recommend. A great read.

You know...

...this was amazing. The characters were likable and greatly fleshed out. The story was thoughtful and sad and suspenseful. Wonderful crime story,

Poor narrator

I returned this book after just 30 minutes of listening . Narrator has a monotone presentation and very little inflection in his voice. Might have been a great story but couldn't continue listening to his voice.

Who dunnit

Author tells a good story. The characters are likable. The perpetrator is a surprise. The back story for Beans is quite interesting. Good pick.

Great Story

Great story with lots of tension. Narrator isn't as bad as some others are saying. I thought he was good and delivered an awesome performance with different distinct voices for each character.

Good Book

I liked the voice of the man reading it. It was a good story. Will definitely check out more books by this author.

Ok read

this story was just ok to me the characters are likeable the story flows but nothing too exciting the narrator was pretty good

Great twist

Very impressed, I never do reviews or rate things past clicking stars but it was that good.

Great police procedural debut

I love police procedurals, especially ones with memorable protagonists chasing down the clues. Kerri Hakoda's solid debut hit all the right chords with me: a terrible crime to be solved, a detective with both personality and some issues to work out, and a setting (Anchorage) brought vividly to life. Police detective DeHavilland Beans is searching for the killer of several baristas that some psychopath has started abducting around Christmastime. The murders here are devastating and sad (both to the community and the reader), but Hakoda tempers the grittiness with a personable cast of characters, starting with Beans, who is the kind of detective who can't make himself leave the first victim's aged, overweight cat at the animal shelter and takes him home instead. I loved the relationships set up in the story and sincerely hope this becomes a series.

The narrators are very good and capture the personalities...even of the cat.

Suspenseful with great character development

From the first paragraph I was hooked. Great story written with so many woven details and many surprises. Audiobook was expertly narrated. Highly recommend!!!
