Cold Hearts

By: Sharon Sala

Narrated by: Nina Alvamar

There's only one way to keep secrets buried.

If only it had been something else that brought Lissa Sherman and Mack Jackson back in touch after so many years. Something - anything - other than the murder of Mack's father. Even worse, Lissa's car had been used as the murder weapon.

Thirty-five years ago, four friends went out joyriding and ended up in a terrible accident that left one dead and the others with no memory of that awful night. Now two more people, including Mack's father, have been murdered, and if the lone survivor knows why they're being targeted, she's not talking.

Even as Lissa and Mack find themselves drawn together in the midst of tragedy, the mystery deepens when someone comes after Lissa, too. Is the danger to her tied to the other deaths, or are two killers at work in town? Now Mack has to fight an unknown attacker as well as his feelings for Lissa, but it may be that he can't win either battle.

only the killer’s heart is cold

Possible Spoilers:
The murderer strikes again when he drops a Lift, with a car, on top of mechanic Paul Jackson. It doesn’t take long for the evidence to prove it was murder.
Lissa Sherman is devastated that her car was used as the murder weapon.
This, when she‘s still hurting from her breakup from Mack Jackson several years ago. But Mack doesn’t want to see her in pain from a guilt that’s not hers. And he needs to protect her from the stalker who is escalating to dangerous levels. Though both Lissa and Mack are injured, they are finally able to talk about what drove them apart.
It’s a bit too syrupy for me, but their coming HEA partially offsets the roughness of the ending. An announcement is made at the end of Paul Jackson’s memorial service that jumps forward the killer’s timeline with devastating consequences.
Alvamar does an ok job of narration.

Book 2 of a 3 book series

Where does Cold Hearts rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes both plots (the ongoing one) and the main book plot (Lissa and Mack's story) did. I am still trying to guess 'whodunit' and why in the ongoing plot and cannot wait to find out the ending in book 3. The main story Lissa and Mack had some twists and turns in regard to her being stalked.

Have you listened to any of Nina Alvamar’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes she narrated Book 1 in the series. I think she is a good narrator and I enjoyed her performance of this book.

Any additional comments?

Book 3 Dark Hearts will conclude the ongoing storyline. That book is not due to be released until March 2016. I am looking forward to finding out the answer to who the killer is, and why 'he' did it.

Amazing! Can't wait for the next one!

This was the second book in the series, but you can listen to this one without reading the first book. This was a great book. You don't find out who the killer is and the end leaves you excited for the next book. The narrator did a great job.
