About this listen
Detective Rebecca Watson is tracking a vicious serial killer in Eugene Falls, Florida. As a distraction, she's dragged back into court for the retrial of a man convicted of murdering his girlfriend five years earlier. His defense attorney will use any means to get his client freed, including uncovering old wounds from Watson's past.
As the case takes a few hard turns, nothing can prepare her for the world she's about to encounter, the past that haunts her, and the truth behind the serial killer's motive.

Told from the point of view of Rebecca herself, the reader has immediate knowledge of her thoughts and fears, as well as of the action. Her past, her relationship to her mother and her aunts, her sexual insecurities are all slowly revealed as the story unfolds:: she is both very human And yet frustratingly annoying: a bit too raw to be real. Little effort is made by the author to breath personality into the other protagonists but all feel substantial in their own right with the exception of the serial killer himself. Although central to much of the story, and obviously closely investigated by e number of the other characters he manages to remain shadowy. Narration by Kendra Murray is very good, further bringing life to both Rebecca and the other cast members, all of their voices well differentiated and her reading both well paced, clear and intoned. A good performance which is partially ruined by poor editting, especially in the latter half of the book, with sentences badly spliced together with slightly different speeds or sound levels, severed words and in particular some strange mechanical rumbling which preceded many of the chapters. Was this supposed to form part of a soundtrack? No idea; but whatever it was, it was a mistake.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced,, and intriguing in it's switch between courtroom and field work, so my deep thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of Stone Cold, via Audiobook Boom. It could have lost the gratuitous sex scene without any damage at all to the story (along with the sniffing of cologne scents of which she must have been aware for months before - save this stuff for later in the series) and some of the court scenes seemed just too contrived, but it carried me along in a wave of pleasurable listening so that I would recommend it to all who enjoy feisty yet vulnerable female detectives keeping the world safe from the bad guys.
