About this listen

 On an early morning walk, a young girl finds the body of her classmate, Tim Pieters, hidden amongst some bushes. The boy's family are desperate for answers but the killer is never found. Almost two decades later, political pressure sees the cold case reopened and Detective Ella Marconi inherits the job. Ella attacks the case with vigour, determined to shake off the memories of her last investigation, which ended with her being shot in the line of duty. But she knows it won’t be easy – after all this time the murderer is probably long gone and the memories of any witnesses are fading. Georgie Riley, the girl who found Tim’s body, is now a paramedic, trying to face up to her own demons. There's never been any reason to doubt her story, but when Ella receives an anonymous call insisting that Georgie has information about the Pieters’s case, she decides to dig deeper. As long-buried secrets and lies finally come to light, can Ella track down the killer before more people are hurt?©2011 Katherine Howell (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Crime Thrillers Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Thriller Thriller & Suspense Crime Suspense

Critic reviews

'Cold Justice races like a speeding ambulance, delivering so many surprises and thrills that you'll scarcely have time to breathe' (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Guests)
'Howell crafts a powerful and high-adrenaline tale of murder and intrigue.' (Books+Publishing)

In the last review I felt Ella wasn’t a very well developed character, now I just think she’s excellent at her job but to the extent she’s quite shallow in her personal life.

The crime was interesting even though it was clear what was going on. I enjoyed it and still love Caroline Lee. On to the next book.
