    About this audiobook

    A chance encounter with a stranger changes the life of Britt Montero forever.

    He lies dead in Miami's morgue but obviously has a story to tell. The electrocuted thief with old, distinctive scars on his body may be the key that unlocks the long-sought secrets of an old case.

    Sunny - the Ice Maiden - was the victim of a shocking crime. She and her date, abducted by strangers after a high school dance, were both assaulted, shot in the head, and left for dead in a remote farm field. The boy did die. Sunny barely survived and is now a reclusive artist and sculptor. As Britt and Miami's Cold Case Squad search for answers, nothing is as it seems. Britt unravels the story but suffers a shocking personal tragedy.

      3.5 ***Buchanan is a wonderful storyteller and she really can build the tension in a thriller. When a burglar is electrocuted by a booby trap Brit Montero, Miami crime-beat reporter, is stunned that the proprietor of the shop is being charged. As she investigates she find a connection between the burglar and a very old, still unsolved, rape and murder. She gets the attention of the lead detective on the Cold Case Squad (Craig Burch), but the lieutenant (K C Riley) isn’t buying it, and the surviving victim isn’t interested in talking to the detectives. But none of this deters our intrepid reporter from following the leads. As a sideline Brit spends some time getting her love life in order. It’s a page turner, finely crafted by a master. And there are a couple of surprises in store for the reader.
    • 3/5
      Entertaining mystery. It might have been rated 4 stars if the writer had just stuck to the mystery.

      The two subplots were totally unnecessary and out of place. Since I was listening to the audio book version, I just skipped ahead. Seriously. Totally unnecessary. The unnecessary romance subplot was particularly difficult to bear because the reader (Anna Fields) didn't sound like (or make the character sound like) she went in for male company... in that way. How can you not have chemistry between two characters when you're voicing them BOTH?

      I loved the supporting character of Lottie, especially her 'take' on the Queen Mum and Lassie.
