Publisher's summary

In college, Griffin McCray and his four best friends had their lives planned out. Griffin and Luke Gallagher would join the Baltimore PD. Declan Gray would head to the FBI, and Parker Mitchell would go on to graduate school as a crime scene analyst. But then Luke vanished before graduation, and their world - and friendships - crumbled. Now Griffin is a park ranger at Gettysburg, having left life as a SWAT-team sniper when a case went bad. The job is mostly quiet - until the day he captures two relic hunters uncovering skeletal remains near Little Round Top.

Griffin just wants the case to go away, but charming forensic anthropologist Finley Scott determines that the body is modern - a young social justice lawyer missing since spring - and all evidence points to the work of an expert sniper. When FBI agent Declan Gray takes over the case, past and present collide. Griffin soon realizes he'll need to confront some of the darkest days of his life if he - and those he cares about - are going to escape a downward spiral of murder that crosses continents.

Generic Fiction

Story: Don't bother to read/listen to any more. If you've heard any of Irene Hannon's "Men of Valor" because this has too many similarities. They're both Dee Henderson copycats. No originality to the stories. VERY PREDICTABLE.

Religion: The characters randomly pray and acknowledge their need of God, but ONLY asking for help. No church attendance. Basically a nodding acquaintance with a Creator.

Narrator: Pleasant voice, but at time she gets so quiet that you can't make it her words without blasting your eardrums the rest of the time.

Way too preachy

Would you try another book from Dani Pettrey and/or Therese Plummer?

I love Therese Plummer. Great narrator. Decent story but way too much praying. Came off insincere and as if the author was pushing religion. Unfortunate. I believe in praying but didn't need it in this book. I will not be reading anything from this author again.

What did you like best about this story?

Good story line.

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

Excellent as usual

Could you see Cold Shot being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No way. Doubt the general public would want to see these characters on their knees praying all the time.

Any additional comments?

The author might want to look for a different way to "witness" about her religion. Don't hide it inside a mystery book. Doesn't work.

LOVE the narrator

This was my first Dani Pettrey book. I am a fan now! Very well written, suspenseful and easy to follow with great character depth. I can't wait to read more about them. I absolutely love the narrator, Therese Plummer. She is easy to understand, reads with inflection, brings the characters to life, and dies a wonderful job with the different voices.

Good plot but enough praying already

Therese Plummer was great, as always. The storyline was interesting enough to keep me listening even though with the characters praying every two minutes I felt like I was at a church service. God has a place in my life, I don't need books that try to save me.

Love this story - set in my home state and most favorite historic site - I hope the series continues to explore all the characters - This could have easily been 2 books.
