Resumen del Editor

Books 14-16 in the USA Today best-selling Dead Cold series from two-million best-selling author Blake Banner.

• Trick or Treat (book 14)
• Blood into Wine (book 15)
• Jack in the Box (book 16)

Sue Benedict wasn’t giving out treats, so she got the trick. It was one hell of a trick.

She was raped and murdered in her apartment after attending a Halloween party with a bunch of art students. The killer did not use a condom or gloves, so the CSI team got a perfect DNA profile and two perfect thumbprints from her throat. A witness also saw her admit the killer to her apartment at 2:30 a.m. that night. It should have been a slam dunk. The only problem was, the DNA profile and the thumb prints didn’t match anyone on CODIS or IAFIS, or anyone at the party.

The killer, who made no effort to hide his identity, had vanished without a trace–just like the one witness who might actually have known what happened that night. And 12 years later, the case is as cold as Sue Benedict and the icy December wind coming in off the East River.

Most talented Reader!

I like these books very much. My husband and I both enjoy listening to them. They are well written fun crime stories with intriguing twists at the end of each. The main character is brilliant and that is always refreshing. His strength and intelligence, not to mention his skills of observation make him a formidable opponent for any of these well written criminals. All the characters are well formed and fully fleshed out.
I do think it would’ve been nice if someone had given the writer a thesaurus. He doesn’t seem to have any other words to describe the human backside other than, ass. I am really tired of everybody putting their ass somewhere. Surely they could, rest their backside, park their rump, prop their derrière, drop their bum, flop their fanny, or simply sit, etc.
The only other complaint I have is that the “beautiful“ female detective is mannerless to the point of being disgusting at times. I suppose her piggish habits are supposed to make her seem more human and real to us. However, anyone over the age of two, who talks with their mouth full is simply ill mannered and extremely unattractive. I believe that her partner is presented to us as a man with a bit more polish. It is always jarring to be reminded that he is not repulsed by her bad manners. Maybe it’s just me; I do have a vivid imagination.
The narrator is unmatched in making every character he portrays believable. I can be completely swept into believing whatever he wants me to believe. I love the “film noir gruff” of his voice for these books. He’s perfect!

Mystery and a little romance I enjoy reading

Very interesting series and audible voice ? Light listening that is enjoyable and keeps interest worth buying

Awesome main characters

His books are a great blend of well-developed characters and intriguing storylines that make you want to binge listen!
