The Bitter Season

By: Tami Hoag

Narrated by: David Colacci

#1 New York Times Bestselling author Tami Hoag returns to the bestselling series of her career with a Kovac and Liska case that will delight fans and new listeners alike.

A murder from the past. A murder from the present. And a life that was never meant to be....

As the dreary, bitter weather of late fall descends on Minneapolis, Detective Nikki Liska is restless. After moving to the cold case squad in order to spend more time with her sons, she misses the rush of pulling an all-nighter, the sense of urgency of hunting a murderer on the loose. Most of all she misses her old partner, Sam Kovac. Sam is having an even harder time adjusting to Nikki's absence, saddled with a green new partner younger than pieces of Sam's wardrobe. Sam is distracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a middle-aged husband and wife bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Nikki's case, the unsolved murder of a family man, community leader, and decorated sex crimes detective for the Minneapolis PD, is less of a distraction: twenty years later, there is little hope for finding the killer who got away.

On the other end of the spectrum, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life she only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster homes: a beautiful home, a family, people who love her, a fulfilling job. Little does she know that a danger from her past is stalking her perfect present. A danger powerful enough to pull in both Kovac and Liska and destroy the perfect life she was never meant to have.

Wow!

I didn't see that ending coming. But you'll needed to read it to see what I'm talking about. Riveting!!

twists and turns

I love Tami Hoag's books and this series. it kept me on my toes guessing who the suspect was.

Best Tami Hoag

She was able to interweave two amazing plots. Can't wait for the next one

Good story, excellent performance

Tami Hoag doesn't disappoint. I love Tinks and Kojak! They are my favorite of all her characters.

My only statement of criticism to an otherwise solid story, and perhaps I'm being overly pedantic here, is the glaring mistake that Glocks do not have a safety. I mean, jeez, *that's* what they are famous for for Heaven's sake! How can't the editors have caught that?

Know your audience, many of which are gun owners, editors!!! C'mon! Accuracy and authenticity are what readers value most in these types of stories and this very glaring error stands out like a sore thumb at just the wrong point in the story.

Good read

liked this 9ne. The plot twists were interesting. liked the ending. I would recommend
