Publisher's summary

I'll probably never see my daughter again. And if I do, she'll either be dead or in a jail cell.

Seattle Chief of Detectives Mort Grant cannot reconcile the memories of his vibrant, headstrong young daughter with the cold, deadly woman she has become. The head of one of the largest criminal enterprises in the world, Allie Grant seized power by wrenching it away from her lover, a notorious Russian gangster. How she maintains her control, Mort doesn't even want to imagine.

Only two other people know the truth about Allie: the vigilante known as The Fixer, and Mort's best friend, Larry, who's undergoing a crisis of his own. Someone close to Larry, his last real connection to his beloved late wife, has been slain in a mass murder at a sweat lodge deep in the woods of Washington State. When word gets out, Mort immediately takes on the gruesome case.

But as Mort hunts down a pair of methodical killers, The Fixer does some deep digging of her own. And what she unearths will rock Mort's family forever. Because The Fixer has set her sights on Allie Grant - and nothing will ever be the same again.

Another gripping Fixer Novel

Would you listen to Fixed in Fear again? Why?

Well written; great character development; and keeps you on the edge throughout. The book and the author are a wonderful find. CDelaine is an outstanding reader and her reading helps one visualize the events as they develop.

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

yes! the interplay of Mort Grant's murder investigations; the continuing problems with his daughter, Allie; his daughter's attempted manipulation of his granddaughters and his son; Mort's relationship with Lydia Corriger; and Lydia's handling of matters always keeps one on the edge, guessing where the story will take us.

What does Christina Delaine bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she is outstanding. her reading skills and the tone of her voice makes one, who was raised on the radio stories of the 40s and 50s clearly visualize the events as they progress. i note with sadness that Ms Delaine appears not to be reading the final book in this outstanding series. i for one will miss her. jeff lantz

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Eat your heart out Olivia Pope! It is time the public meets the True Fixer."

Any additional comments?

i only recently discovered t e woods through Audible and have loved all the books she has written in the "Fixer" series. living in Seattle i love all the local references and note she has nailed the highlights and lows of this wonderful NW area completely. her writing skills are unsurpassed, as is her wonderful character development and detailed analysis of clinical psychology. as a former prosecutor from Indiana i love the way Mort and his team develop their cases. as a former defense attorney who represented clients in white collar and drug cases her development and the picture she paints of what goes on with these individuals is straight on.

another good fixer

I am still in awe of the narrator's range. the ending was a cliff hanger and I wonder of I will get "fixed" so will be getting the next book in the series.
this was mostly a mort/Larry story that has a tragic end. don't worry both characters will still be around.

Excellent read!!!

You need to read this series in order! This last one was just as good as all the others! I love the narrator, she’s really good at separating voices without having someone need to tell you who was speaking. What a cliffhanger!! Wow! Get writing TE Woods. I will anxiously await the next one!

Has the Fixer met her match?

In the beginning of this book Lydia proves to herself that "The Fixer" is able to change her ways. Instead of killing a man who is deserving, she calls the police and tells them where they can find him.
Meanwhile Mort's daughter Ali the new Czarina shows up in town, once again. Seems she's missing her family. However she's not willing to give up here lucrative drug business and continues to conduct her business while in town. In between she tries to win over her nieces with lavish gifts and makes serious threats to Lydia.
Mort is on a multiple murder case involving a friend. Just when he thinks he has it solved something happens to throw his conclusions out of wack.
There are some crazy twists and no one is safe from Ali...
This book ends with an explosive cliffhanger.
Christina Delaine does an outstanding job narrating.
This book is most HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Thank You.

Intrigue

The second to last book in the justice series is not the most powerful of them all, but it continues to weave a powerful web. Many surprises.
One character was very annoying as she was outraged, but the ending explains exactly why that was so.
Cant wait to listen to the next!

#1 Fan

I love the series The Fixer. I just can't believe one woman can narrate all these characters and do justice to the actual story telling.

And all of the stories in this series are so good, They can stand alone yet, they create a bridge and it makes you anxious to get to the next book.

Imagine I am the Fixer!

Oh my! Every book just gets better and better.
I love that she protects the innocent! Never a dull moment! I hope T E Woods continues to write this series. Differently need to start with first book. You will began to feel you know everyone!

Love this series!

I am so happy more of the Justice Series has come to audible. Book 5, Fixed in Fear, did not disappoint! The characters are engaging, the narrator is great and the development of Ally’s character is intriguing. I would have liked more of the focus to be on that story line. With Larry’s story it felt like it could be two separate books.
It does leave us on a cliffhanger and the next book is not on audible! I’ll be waiting.

Some wild twists and turns

This was a sad story once it all comes out it broke my heart, the girl that was murdered many years ago father was something, I doubt anyone would call him a good man. He is evil inside and I am sure he wasn't always nice to his child. The lodge murders was just down cruel. The author lays it all out with a few shocking, thrilling, chilling scenes, that holds your attention, given you a well written story filled with mystery of who did it along with one thrill after the next. Alley is back making trouble, more evil then ever. I wonder how long it will be, before daddy finds out what she is truly like. Lydia seems to be in the middle of it whether she wants to be or not. I really like the twists and turns the author gives, throwing in a few heart stopping moments to keep it all exciting.

I found this to be a great listen which I had trouble putting down, the author knows how to pull the listener in, and the wonderful narrator hooks you from the start with her many different character voices, you always knew who was talking and what they were feeling. The narrator gives true emotion, making you feel the characters pain, sorrow and joy. There was no repeating of words, no volume change, no background noise, just a very clear audio that I got lost in. The narrator has a very pleasant normal voice that I could listen to all day.

Listen to this series in order written!

This novel, Book 5 in the series, ends in a major cliffhanger situation! The series finale titled Dead End Fix should be released in audio in 4 to 6 weeks. I'm going to purchase the Kindle version of Dead End Fix (it has been available since June of 2016). Of course I'll also get the audio version when it is released

I've written reviews of the first four series novels and all have earned 5 stars. I see that Shelley wrote an excellent review (which you should read) of Fixed in Fear yesterday, so I'll skip writing anything about the plot details. I will say that Mort's daughter Ali and Lydia, the woman Mort loves and protects, are set up for an epic fight that one will not likely survive. Fixed in Fear is an outstanding suspense mystery in an equally outstanding series.

The Justice/Fixer Series has my highest possible recommendation.
