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.

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.

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.

More like Fixed in Molasses

You can skip this book entirely and not miss a step in the next book 6, which will recap this not-really-a-book. My various frustrations:
1. Again, this isn’t so much a book as a needlessly long setup for the next book. This just dragged.
2. For a series with “fixer” in the title, Lydia “the Fixer” Corriger doesn’t actually do much fixing. In this book, she has a single kill … and it’s not even a pre-meditated fix-job.
3. This series is more about Mort and Company, and the criminal underworld than a vigilante killer, and that plot line gets more depraved and unbelievable with each book. In every book since book 1, the Fixer plot has shared the spotlight with two other plots (2- a crime procedural starring detective Mort and
3-Mort’s family drama involving his psychotic gangster daughter). But I want smart thrillers, not reveling in violence and thug-life. The murder mystery here is predictable and worse, forgettable, leaving only the madness of czarina Allie to carry the story.
4. By now it’s sadly clear that the author’s go-to crime or conflict involves the victimization of women, often girls and generally with sexual violence. Here, the murder mystery started with the death of a wife and then of course, we are reminded about the perversions Allie was subjected to. Add in the sexual threats to Lydia (planned by a female, no less), and I found myself hugely dissatisfied that a female author couldn’t find a way to write a compelling thriller without .female victimization

Without the narrator’s phenomenal skill, I’m not sure I’d have stuck with two star “okay” for the story. I did like book 6 better, but if there’s ever a book 7, I think I’ll pass just like I’ve decided not to bother with any other books by this author as the female-victim formula seems to follow.

Weakest of series but a still entertaining

I really like this series. Strong characters, developed over time. Generally, plot tension. Quality violence and gratuitous couplings. It is all brought together by an outstanding narrator who pull off believable thugs, vulnerable women and cute kids all in paragraph.

The plot here is weak. Not a lot of misdirection. You will figure it out long before the characters do.

This book seem to be a bridge to set up the big-time confrontation sure to be at the center of the next book in the series. Guess it is worth reading for that reason plus enjoying a master narrator at work.

Weakest Plot in the Series

The narrator is great in this and the other Fixer books, but that's where my praise ends. Missing in this was a crime solved by Mort that kept me intrigued, a criminal that Lydia was bringing her brand of heartfelt justice to and too many starts and stops of plot twists. Hopefully this bridge to the finale doesn't leave me wanting more from the next book as well.

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.

Fantastic Story

Wow! Warning, you have to have read the previous books to get the full history of this one. The narrator was so good that I often forgot that the male voices belong to a female narrator.

Can't wait to start the next one!

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!
