Publisher's summary
Jenny Spencer is missing after a violent encounter on a beach. Her aunt, Susan Blake, asks wisecracking PI Jake Travis to intervene. Susan and Jake spent only one dinner together and both felt an instant attraction. Jake walked away. He was, and is, committed to Kathleen.
As Jake and his partner, Garrett Demarcus, close the circle on finding Jenny, they discover that Kathleen's past ties to organized crime and Jenny's life are strangely entwined. They fight a two-front battle to find Jenny and to protect Kathleen.
But by protecting Kathleen, will Jake become the type of man that she could never love? Does he have a choice?
Robert Lane's second standalone Jake Travis audiobook delivers a tour de force of suspense, intrigue, and humor, deftly wrapped in Lane's trademark literary overtones.

Story
The only sign of life for miles is an empty BMW. Inside the expensive car he finds clothes that fit perfectly, shoes for his tattered feet, a Rolex, and an auto registration in the name of Daniel Hayes, resident of Malibu, California. None of it is familiar. How did he get here? Who is he? Who was he? While he searches for answers, the world searches for him - beginning with the cops that kick in the door of his dingy motel with guns drawn. Lost and alone, the man who might be Daniel Hayes flees into the night. All he remembers is a woman’s face, so he sets off for the only place he might find her.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Less exciting than I expected but still enjoyable.
Cooler than Blood is the second book in the series, and, although I could definitely tell that I was missing some background, I didn't have any trouble following the story by starting with book two. The book features a private investigator named Jake Travis, and he is contacted by an old acquaintance to find her missing niece, Jenny. This seems straightforward enough, but Jake's task quickly takes multiple detours that put him in contact with and pit him against drug dealers, mobsters, and crooked cops. He is aided in the investigation by his neighbor, Morgan, and his partner, Garrett, and I especially enjoyed his interactions with them and his girlfriend, Kathleen. Interspersed throughout the story are chapter describing Jenny's internal struggles to stay sane in the face of multiple kidnappings. I found the story interesting, and I enjoyed all the secondary characters, but I never really connected with Jake. His internal dialogue was a little too irreverent, and he was much to self-focused for my tastes. However, the mystery was interesting, and I would probably continue the series if given the opportunity.
John Martin Byrne's narration is the best part of this audiobook. He has a very smooth delivery, and he uses the right level of emotion for the varying moods of the story. He differentiates very well between characters, and he narrates the female voices with equal skill as the male.

Good beach read
Being a resident of Fort Myers Beach, this was a very enjoyable read because of the accuracy of the various locations mentioned by name. Not just some generalized locations, but real establishments on the island.

Very well done
This was my first book by the author and I will have to pick up more by him. The story kept you engaged and the characters were very lifelike. You find yourself being slowly drawn into the world and caring about the people who live there. The narrator did a great job of adding life to the story and keeping you wanting to hear more. I received a free copy of this audio in return for an unbiased review.
