Stone Cold Fox

De: Rachel Koller Croft

Narrado por: Carlotta Brentan

A perfectly wicked debut thriller about an ambitious woman who, after a lifetime of conning alongside her mother, wants to leave her dark past behind and marry the heir to one of the country's wealthiest families.

*now including a special bonus chapter!

Like any enterprising woman, Bea knows what she’s worth and is determined to get all she deserves—it just so happens that what she deserves is to marry rich. Filthy rich. After years of forced instruction by her mother in the art of swindling men, a now-solo Bea wants nothing more than to close and lock the door on their sordid partnership so she can disappear safely into old-money domesticity, sealing the final phase of her escape.

When Bea chooses her ultimate target in the fully loaded, thoroughly dull and blue-blooded Collin Case, she’s ready to deploy all of her tricks one last time. The challenge isn’t getting the ring, but rather the approval of Collin’s family and everyone else in their 1 percent tax bracket, particularly his childhood best friend, Gale Wallace-Leicester.

Going toe-to-toe with Gale isn’t a threat to an expert like Bea, but what begins as an amusing cat-and-mouse game quickly develops into a dangerous pursuit of the grisly truth. Finding herself at a literal life-and-death crossroads with everything on the line, Bea must finally decide who she really wants to be.

Like mother, like daughter?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This delicious, twisty tale of deception and daughterhood will have everyone holding onto their wallets.” —Good Morning America

“Bea’s confidence is boundless, her judgment of the rich crowd she’s so eager to join is merciless, and watching her scheme to land a rich husband is a total hoot.” —People Magazine

“Juicy thriller alert…tons of tension, an intense game of cat and mouse, and hidden family secrets that’ll keep you guessing until the last page. We’ve got full-body chills.” —The Skimm

👍👏🏻

Good book… You have to get past the narrator in the beginning, but after that, it’s an awesome read! Right till the very end!

Loved it

Loved this book from start to finish. Couldn’t listen or do anything else until I finished this book

A bit to slow

Narrator was good. I thought the story was a bit weak, boring until the last few chapters. Hoped for a more dramatic ending.

Easy, fun read

Lots of sentence and fun to read! There are some heavy, sad topics related to B’s childhood, but overall it’s a light story!

Great story, terrible narration!

I loved this book and didn’t want it to end. The narration, however, was awful. The voices for each of the characters were all random, bizarre accents that didn’t make sense. If you can get past the narration, this book is fantastic.

4.5/5

I think I would have given this a five if I didn’t need a sequel. There’s going to be a sequel, right? I need more Syl.

Well written!

Loved the language and detail the author used. She said what others may think but aren’t willing to say out loud. I felt empathy for the Villains as I felt like I was placed in their shoes. Appreciated the back and forth through timelines to gain perspective and emotional baggage of characters.

A Fun Listen

This was a nice, light thriller that kept my attention and wasn’t too dark…love a storyline that’s not too typical/predictable and this delivered though the ending felt rushed…maybe I just didn’t want this one to end :-)

Great story

I devoured this, I cannot wait to read her next book. This kept my attention the entire time.

Stick with it

The narrator was a little annoying at first but I ultimately ended up really liking her for the most part. Definitely an enjoyable story - I finished the whole thing in a day and a half!
