Cold Case

A Barbara Holloway Mystery

By: Kate Wilhelm

Narrated by: Carrington MacDuffie

Controversial author and scholar David Etheridge is not the kind of company an aspiring politician wants to keep. But ambitious senator Robert McCrutchen has a history with Etheridge that he's desperately trying to keep under wraps: 22 years ago, both men were investigated in the still-unsolved death of a young coed.

When Etheridge returns to Oregon, McCrutchen is his grudging host - until the senator is found shot dead. Now, Etheridge is once again suspected of murder, only this time, with the cold case reopened, he's facing a double charge.

Attorney Barbara Holloway must battle both the prosecution and the court of public opinion, which has already tried and convicted Etheridge for both murders. As the pressure mounts, Barbara must risk her own life to protect a client and preserve justice.

Critic reviews

"Wilhelm is a masterful storyteller whose novels have just the right blend of solid plot, compelling mystery, and great courtroom drama." ( Library Journal)

Enjoyable

Good book. Nice character development. Decent narration. This book was enjoyable although somewhat predictable.

Love this series

I find myself wanting to meet Barbara and try to have some of her strength rub off on me!

Coffee

No one drinks or thinks coffee is as essential as this author. She is obsessed with it

Excellent book

Another exciting and interesting/ intriguing book by Kate Wilhelm. The narrator is superb- couldn’t be any better, as I don’t seem to tire of her abilities.

Love Kate Wilhem

And narrator too! Listened to most of her books and recommend highly. She nails the legal details (as a retired prosecutor that’s high praise), but story never suffers from too much legalese.
