About this listen
When the two strangers turn up at Rowena Cooper's isolated Colorado farmhouse, she knows instantly that it's the end of everything. For the two haunted and driven men, on the other hand, it's just another stop on a long and bloody journey. And they still have many miles to go and victims to sacrifice before their work is done.
For San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart, their trail of corpses - women abducted, tortured, and left with a seemingly random series of objects inside them - has brought her from obsession to the edge of physical and psychological destruction. And she's losing hope of making a breakthrough before that happens. But the slaughter at the Cooper farmhouse didn't quite go according to plan. There was a survivor - Rowena's 10-year-old daughter, Nell, who now holds the key to the killings. Injured, half frozen, terrified, Nell has only one place to go. And that place could be even more terrifying than what she's running from.

What did you like best about The Killing Lessons? What did you like least?
The serial killing premise was good and that part of the story I enjoyed. The detective part was like walking through treacle, too wordy, and as seems the norm these days the female character desperately in emotional turmoil......sighHow would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Far to wordy, sometimes less is more, so many descriptions of feelings, the snow, the heat the air like reading a high school English paperWhat didn’t you like about Christine Delaine’s performance?
Nothing. Her voice grated on me but the story held enough promise to continueWas The Killing Lessons worth the listening time?
