Cold Hit

By: Linda Fairstein

Narrated by: Allison Janney

Renowned sex-crimes prosecutor and bestselling author Linda Fairstein sends her acclaimed heroine—the stylish and steely-nerved D.A. Alexandra Cooper—on a hunt for a killer inside New York City's glitzy art world.

Alexandra Cooper has seen many murder victims, but few more disturbing than the silk-clad body of a woman, her hands and feet tied to a ladder, pulled from the turbulent waters at Manhattan's northern tip. With her colleagues, including NYPD detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex races against the clock and hopes for a "cold hit"—a DNA match that would reveal the identity of the murderer by linking the crime to someone already in the police database. But as the case pulls her into the exclusive world of East Side auction houses and cutting-edge Chelsea galleries, Alex discovers she may be marked as an expendable commodity in a chilling and deadly scheme...©1999 Robert J.

Bad Narrator

The narrator was horrible. She read so fast that it made it not enjoyable to listen to. There were times I think she just ignored punctuation altogether. It sounded monotone.

Pronounce

Why is it so difficult to correctly pronounce Oregon and Nevada? I expected more from Ms. Janney.


When I purchased this one, I didn’t realize it was abridged. I hate abridged productions.

I prefer the unabridged & Barbara Rosenblatt

Unabridged audio books are a waste of $$$ IMO... but still a great story. filler since Audible will not let me submit without a certain #of words... which I definitely don't like... js

Worst narrator I've ever listened to

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her monotone is sleep inducing. She's sooooo boring.

Any additional comments?

Grateful this was abridged so I didn't have to listen to Janney very long. I will never listen to any book she narrates. Absolutely no personality added to any of the characters.

the narrator spoiled it all

It's not fair of me to rate this book since the narrator was so bad (IMHO) that I stopped half an hour in. I checked and this is the only one of Linda Fairstein's books she has narrated.

I like Ms Fairsten's books and I'll read others but this one!?!?!?
