Cold to the Touch

By: Kerri Hakoda

Narrated by: 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.

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.

Enjoyed the story and the Alaska setting

Good characters, nice pace, looking forward to the next story from this author . A future tale with these characters would be great!

You know...

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