A Dead Cold Mystery, Book 25

A passion that led to hot-blooded murder...

USA TODAY & Amazon 2-million copy bestselling author BLAKE BANNER is at his best in this mystifying crime series!

All married couples should have interests outside the marriage. It’s a truism, a maxim, a golden rule.

It’s also a recipe for disaster, if that interest turns to passion, not for what your doing, but who you’re doing it with.

Detective John Stone had a marriage made in heaven. His wife was young, beautiful and smart, and she was his partner in the Cold Cases unit at the 43rd. They were tight, close, and practically telepathic. At least, that was what he’d always thought - until she got an interest outside their marriage, and that interest became a passion.

It was a passion for a youth club, a passion to help young kids escape the gangs and the crime of the Bronx. It was a passion that was keeping her away from home late into the night, week after week - a passion she shared with Sergeant Tony Sanchez of the 45th. A passion that had a hot coal burning in John Stone’s belly, as he dined alone at home for the third month in a row.

A passion that led to hot-blooded murder, with Dehan set squarely in the frame.

Series Review…

I really like the Dead Cold series and honestly am so surprised it doesn’t get more recognition and if not more reviews then at least more ratings. I really hope more people will try this series out and enjoy it as much as I do because I would love to see the rest of the series on Audible! All of the stories are complex but not so much that they become convoluted or unbelievable. They are all interesting and I find myself always looking for the twist in the story that will turn the investigation completely around. I have not read/listened to one of these books that ends with the original suspect being the perpetrator. It’s almost always someone you would think least likely to commit the crime. Sometimes it one of the supposed victims. The characters are fleshed out and believable. John Stone and Carmen Dehan are the protagonists, married after working cold cases for a few years and sometimes flawed. But their personalities complement each other and their investigation techniques are not always the same.

Anyway, I think this is a wonderful series and all the books are VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Adam Grupper does a super job narrating.
