The Killing Room

De: Gerri Hill

Narrado por: Abby Craden

Denver detective Jake McCoy is trying to recover - both physically and emotionally - from the shooting death of a young boy that also left her injured. She soon finds herself rehabbing at her cabin in the mountains, soaking in the remote natural springs - which is exactly where psychologist Nicole Westbrook vacations and soon stumbles across her....

When Nicole leaves the next day, the two women know little more about the other than her first name - yet they are now lovers instead of strangers.

When Jake returns to Denver, a serial murder investigation soon leads her to Nicole. As the investigation develops, their physical attraction threatens to compromise the case. Nicole finds herself struggling to remain in the professional closet that she's been hiding in for so long - a place where an out cop like Jake McCoy simply does not belong.

Once the crimes are solved, will the women go their separate ways? Or will the physical attraction and the gentle tug of love prove that opposites do attract....

Good book but...

Tiny Spoilers. Some of the story is definitely cringeworthy. The love story is almost as cringeworthy. I enjoyed the criminal aspect of it but the details are very uncomfortable.
Nicole is pretty awful. Especially at the end. This woman Jake saves her life and she just lets her limp away. Literally. I’m a lesbian and I would never ever let a sexy hero cop leave me. F every single thing else. The love story drags near the end. Completely frustrating. Because I listened to The Target first, I know how it ends. I rolled my eyes multiple times in the last hour. Sorry for the negative comments just be prepared.

The combination of great story and great narration

Gerri Hill never disappoints her books are so good and this one is one of the best.
Someone said to me that even the phone book will be great if Abby Craden will narrate it so when you have this combination it is a bliss
Looking forward to the 3 new Gerri Hill books I have in my library

Gerri Hill at her best

From the moment I started this book, it just hit the spot, the way only a good Gerri Hill novel can.
Definitely one of my favourites and a really good mystery to go with a hot romance. Loved the characters and the twists and turns the investigation took. I was totally hooked and at the same time, didn't want the story to end. And Abby Craden making her usual narrating magic - what's not to like? A must for all fans.

Love this story

Abby Craden bravo.
Gerri Hill Bravo again. I hope this turns out to be a continuing story.

Loved it

Really enjoyed this book. Narration was excellent as was the story. Gerri Hall has become one of my favorite authors. I never lose interest in the story

Great Mystery and Romance!!

The mystery was incredible. I did not ‘solve’ it. The suspense was palpable for both the murders and the blossoming romance. I love that it was set in Colorado too, since I am familiar with the area.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks

Ice heard it said by others and never understand it. What does it matter if one is a cop and one is a Dr.? The are both processionals in their own professions, one just make more money and and in the closet with other rich women in the closet aquintances. Don't let love pass you by just because of his.

Mixed feelings

This is the second time I've listened to this book and it reminded me of two frustrating things. 1. I forgot how much I didn't like Nicole's mantra of "She's not my type" 2. How infuriating and weak Nicole is. ok so three things 3. Nicole's "friends" are stuck up elitist bitches and how I would like to tell them to get over themselves.
These 3 things really make me want to give this less than the four stars I gave it BUT I really loved Jake and her relationship with her partner and his character in general. I also really enjoyed the actual crime story part if the book. I'm sure real cops are probably way more critical than I'm being...I just really got into trying to figure it out...the first time I listened. When Nicole wasn't pissing me off I really enjoyed her and Jake's chemistry? Not really sure how to describe. Basically, how Jake cares for her and sees Nicole's truer self and from Nicole's POV when she is being honest with herself. Listen and that might make sense lol. I also liked Jake's dog.
lastly, I really enjoyed the narration - two thumbs up.
So with all this said I would recommend the book. Maybe Ms. Hill's intention was to make some characters very unlikable and one of the main characters flawed and hurtful with some compassion, for her clients, thrown in. If that was her intention she nailed it! 😋

Losted, Miserable,and Dead Inside.

It took me a while, but I finally got to read this book(Damn Pandemic). You two make a great team. Gerri, you never disappoint. Off to my next Adventure.

Thrilling storylines

The best book by Hill I’ve heard so far!
