Resumen del Editor

She shuts the door behind her, relieved to be in the safety of her own home. But tonight her house is the most dangerous place she could be. Someone has been waiting for her, and they know she’s home alone....

Sasha loves her job finding accommodation for homeless people, and she’s proud of the small but cozy apartment she rents on the good side of town. She’s worked hard to leave her dark past behind her and make amends for the accident that still haunts her memories. She knows she was innocent, though she’s still careful about who and what she tells of her old life. But not all secrets stay hidden forever....

When her phone rings loudly in the middle of the night, Sasha fears what she’ll hear when she picks up–a deathly silence. It’s happened every night for weeks. Is it a childish prank or a chilling warning that someone has uncovered her secret?

But the news of a body found at a local shelter means her worst nightmare has come true. It can’t be a coincidence that evidence related to the victim has been found at the same location where the most devastating moment of Sasha’s life took place.

Days later, a second body is found, and Sasha’s heart pounds wildly as she takes in the victim’s unforgettable green eyes. She hasn’t seen her in a long time, but she’d know her old friend anywhere. She was the only other person who knew Sasha’s secret, so how can Sasha prove her innocence now?

Sasha doesn’t know who’s coming for her, but she’s certain of one thing: She’s next on the list....

Fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter, and Clare Mackintosh will love Their Cold Hearts–a totally thrilling and addictive crime thriller that will have you up all night!

Great Story

But can we please stop having Gina emotionally abused by her unbelievably ignorant daughter. The story line is old and annoying! Loved everything else!

Story gets bogged down

I’ve absolutely loved every book by this author until this one. I usually have no trouble following the story, but this one had so many characters and details that I often got lost and found myself zoning out of the audiobook. I had to rewind multiple times to be able to follow it. This one may be better to read visually.

Unforgettable Twists - A Must-Read Review!

Their Cold Hearts by Carla Kovach is an outstanding addition to the Detective Gina Harte series, delivering an addictive and heart-stopping crime thriller that kept me captivated from beginning to end. This book deserves every bit of its five-star rating and more!

From the very first page, the tension and suspense are palpable. The author's writing style is flawless, effortlessly weaving together a complex and intriguing plot that had me on the edge of my seat. The pacing is perfect, with well-timed twists and turns that kept me guessing and unable to put the book down.

The character development in this novel is superb. Detective Gina Harte, the resilient and determined protagonist, is a force to be reckoned with. Her unwavering dedication to solving the case and her personal struggles make her a relatable and compelling character. Additionally, Macie, the aspiring crime reporter and junior sleuth, adds a unique dynamic to the story, infusing it with curiosity and enthusiasm. Kovach has crafted an exceptional cast of characters, each with their own distinct personalities and motives, adding layers of depth and complexity to the story.

One aspect of this book that deserves special mention is the narration by Alison Campbell. Her talent for creating different voices that were not only distinct but also visually evocative is commendable. Campbell's narration brings the characters to life with skill and emotion, enhancing the overall experience and making it even more immersive and captivating. Her contribution to the audiobook version of Their Cold Hearts truly elevates the storytelling and helps make it a five-star read.

The plot twists in Their Cold Hearts are mind-blowing and expertly executed. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Kovach threw in a heart-stopping twist that left me gasping for breath. The level of suspense and unpredictability in this book is off the charts, making it an absolute page-turner.

The author's ability to create a chilling and eerie atmosphere is commendable. The sense of danger and unease is palpable throughout the story, and I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder while reading. Kovach's attention to detail and vivid descriptions paint a vivid picture of the scenes, immersing the reader in the story's dark and haunting setting.

Their Cold Hearts is an exceptional crime thriller that will leave you breathless. Carla Kovach has once again proven herself as a master of the genre, delivering a gripping and addictive read that will stay with me long after I've turned the final page. I highly recommend this book to all fans of thrillers, suspense, and mystery. It is an absolute must-read!

Note: While this book can be enjoyed as a standalone, I would also recommend checking out the other books in the Detective Gina Harte series for a more complete reading experience.

Sluggish narrator, good story

I really enjoy the series and the author's style. Their Cold Hearts is a very good continuation of the detectives' story,unfortunately, the narrator is not right for this series. There is little to no emotion in her reading/ acting style. I started to listen to this book at night hoping it help me fall into sleep, luckily it has helped me fall asleep fast!
To enjoy this book I have found it necessary to change the speed to 1.10.
If the narrator would act this out, like Katie Villa or Tamsin Kennard, it wouldn't just be worth listening to but a great experience.

Great Book!!

Great book and great series. I also love the narrator!! Definitely recommend this series and author!!

So over Hannah & Briggs in this series

Am I the only person that is so tired of Hannah & her whole character. The constant horrible way she treats her mother is ridiculous. And the stupid Hedi grandma constantly harassing Gina and she does nothing about it! Stand up for yourself woman! She’s supposed to be this awesome detective but she can’t even scare some stupid old woman to leave her alone. And Hannah is a constant sore in this series. She’s consistently the worst character in every single book. And then Briggs acts like some stupid 16-year-old man child who is so hot and cold whether he wants Gina or not. And always swooping in when he knows her defenses are down. I’m just over their love story. I feel like I’m gonna give this series 1 more book to see if Briggs or Hannah pulls their heads out of their butts. Otherwise I’m done with the series.

Can’t stomach it anymore

Where to start? Sigh. Gina is confused as a detective, takes back the man who cheated on her, and is incompetent as a mother and grandmother. It’s at this point painful to listen to this group of mediocre characters. I feel invested in this series after so many books…but there’s only so much “holy cow, are they actually this dumb?!” one can take.
