The Bitter Season

De: Tami Hoag

Narrado por: 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.

On point. As usual Tami!

Keep them coming! I love these books... And as someone from Wisconsin, the narration is pretty much on point... so get over it people

Pretty good

A bit slow, and didn't pull Mr in as her other books have but was his all in all. Quite the twist too....

Good story with interesting twists

Hoag never disappoints. This book has rich, fleshed out characters and an interesting plot with twists and turns you don't see coming.

Even the minor characters have backgrounds that enhance the story.

David Colacci narrates the emotions and tempo of the story nicely, but I didn't feel he represented the female voice very well. They tended to sound more silly than serious; especially the lead female character.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it to all Hoag fans and lovers of good detective and mystery genre fans.

great story nice twists

this kept me guessing till the last chapter. I love Liska. keep them coming!!

Love the intertwined storey line

Tami writes great books and this one does not dissapoint! I really enjoyed the crossover "cases" Covak & Liska worked on - it added to the book and mystery.... kept me guessing right to the end. Definately worth the time / read!

Great !!!

What did you love best about The Bitter Season?

The last of Kovac & Liska and the best !!! Hope there will be more !!! Miss them .... BUT must be narrated by David Colacci !!!

Have you listened to any of David Colacci’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes !!! He's great !!!

Great

As always Tami Hoag is the best! Always keeps your attention till the end. I always know her books are going to be great.

EXCEPTIONAL STORY...

And an exceptional author. The author doesn't add words with extraneous side lines. This book is written only for the purpose of telling the story cleanly and directly. I recommend THE BITTER SEASON and Tami Hoag one hundred percent.

Phenomenal as always!

Loved it,Liska and Loved have done it again and the narration couldn't have been better!

Wow!

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