Publisher's summary

A relentless FBI profiler hunts a vicious killer.

When old evidence turns up on a fresh corpse, ASAC Lincoln Frazer is determined it won't delay the execution of a convicted serial killer. But when more young women are brutally slain, it becomes clear - this new killer is intimately familiar with the old murders.

A dedicated emergency physician hides a dark secret.

Former Army Captain Dr. Isadora Campbell helped her mother conceal a terrible crime. After her mother's death, Izzy resigned her commission and returned to the Outer Banks to raise her rebellious teenage sister. But it doesn't take long for Izzy to suspect that someone knows exactly what she did, all those years ago.

If they work together, maybe no one else will die.

With pressure mounting to reopen the old case, Frazer will use any means possible to catch the killer. Thrust together during the investigation, he and Izzy find themselves reluctantly attracted to one another, and begin an affair. Meanwhile, the killer is much closer than they think. Izzy's confession of her secret drives Frazer away as he struggles with her deception. By the time he realizes he's fallen in love with the stubborn woman, the killer has her. Now the race is on to save Izzy and any chance of a future they might have together.

First rate suspense

What did you love best about Cold Fear?

Ms. Anderson did a remarkable job in guiding the reader to meet and get to know the complex characters as the story progressed.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Izzy because she was so strong and yet so vulnerable throughout the story.

Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and this one is equally as good as any story that I have had the pleasure to listen to. He does a great job in making each character distinctive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I will confess that I cringed at times when inside the mind of the serial killer.

A killer suspense

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would recommend this audio. From the excellent writing to the marvellous narration, this romantic suspense will keep you enthralled.

What other book might you compare Cold Fear to and why?

This the fourth book in Toni Anderson's Cold Justice Series, and they keep getting better.

What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His wonderful narration brings to life Toni Anderson's characters. His voice carries you along at an exciting pace.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The story was so suspenseful and action packed that I found myself shouting at the characters and second guessing who was the killer

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the emotional build up to the romantic interaction between the hero Lincoln and the heroine Izzy. Once again Toni Anderson adds another suspenseful twist to a murderously action packed story.

An exciting suspense thriller...

I loved this book. Cold Fear is book 4 in the Cold Justice Series. So far, I have only read books 1 and 4 - I believe they are stand alone reads. This story is an exciting Suspense thriller about serial killers and little romance on the side. It is well written and really gave me lots to think about in real life.

Imagine a serial killer getting away with murder literally for decades. ASAC (FBI) agent Lincoln Frasier it at it again. Bodies are women are turning up dead and the M.O. is in prison and has been for years! This book is packed with excitement, danger, suspense and chills.

The author, Toni Anderson did a great job on this book. I loved the plot. I thought I knew who the real killer was all along and it blew my mind to see I was wrong! I didn't see that coming. The narrator, Eric G Dove delivered a perfect story to us complete with multiple voices, emotions and accents. His speech is smooth and easy on the ears and very believable. Great job!

Another great installment

A first I wasn't sure I was interested in a story with ASAC Frazer but once it started I was hooked. Frazer wore his mask well but Izzy was able to get behind it and see the real man. ASAC Frazer is a sexy little beast...lol. He had control in everything he did even when things were out of his control.

I loved Izzy. She was a strong character but I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see that strength when it came to protecting herself. We were told she was capable, we felt she was capable but when it came down to it she needed a man's help.

Kit was an annoying little shit but i'll chalk that up to her being a 17yr old who thinks she knows everything and is owed anything she wants.

Overall I enjoyed the story and the writing. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was listening. This was a great installment in the series. I started the series at book 2 with each passing book i'm more and more determined to swing back to book 1. The tidbits dropped about Parker and Rooney make me believe that their story was an explosive start to a great series.

story 3.5
Narrator 4

Eric Dove is an amazing narrator and I actively search out his work in the romance genre.

A serial killer in the OBX

ASAC Lincoln Frazier always comes across as perfect. Can he change when he meets the alluring Dr. Isadora Campbell? Izzy has a huge secret from her past...can a relationship survive that secret? Then there’s the serial killer that is abducting and killing women...similar MO to the convicted killer that is about to face execution. Is this a copy cat or the real killer?
Another nail biter! This author is excellent at hiding the identity of the killer...you never see him/her coming.

loved it!

Great story, romance and mystery. Surprised by the "who dunnit" which always makes for a great story. Now planning to listen to another audio from author.

Brilliant

If you could sum up Cold Fear in three words, what would they be?

Suspenseful, exciting, chilling

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the complexity of the plot. I changed my mind two or three times about who the murderer was and I still got it wrong.
The character development was also very strong and this is true for the side characters as well. There was an emotional depth to this thriller which I find is often missing from the mass produced romantic suspense titles saturating the market.

I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Have you listened to any of Eric G. Dove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any of Eric G. Dove's other performances but he did an amazing job with this one and if I saw his name on another title in the genres of interest to me then it would help persuade me to buy it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I have to say that I found the first few chapters quite sad and emotional. Rape is a sensitive topic to write about and when it involves the murder of a young girl you can't help but feel shocked and saddened. The friends' and parents' grief was almost tangible in these opening chapters.

Any additional comments?

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved it!

This book was wonderful! I love it when I don't have the killer figured out. I thought the narrator did a great job with his performance and added to the suspense. Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres to listen. I will definitely be listening to more books by this author and narrator.
