Publisher's summary

International Thriller Writers Award-winner and best-selling author Brian Freeman has established himself as a master of psychological thrillers. In Season of Fear, Freeman returns to the sun-drenched beaches of Naples, Florida, and the idiosyncratic world of Detective Cab Bolton.

Attractive and popular politician Diane Fairmont is running for the Florida governorship, but a chill is cast over the campaign when she receives an anonymous note announcing the return of the assassin who killed her husband 10 years earlier. Because of complicated ties between Fairmont and his mother, movie actress Tarla Bolton, Detective Bolton is assigned to the case.

As Bolton struggles to penetrate the veil of secrecy surrounding the Fairmont campaign, he begins to realize that the death threat is not the only danger faced by the campaign staff. A desperate race against the clock ensues as Bolton tries to unlock the secrets of a poisonous conspiracy before nature provides the perfect cover for a long-dormant killer to strike again.

Another Freeman Hit!

After becoming a fan of Brian Freeman's Stryker series, I gave Cab Bolton a try. I am hooked! With Book 2 of the Cab Bolton series, "Season of Fear", being such an excellent mystery with twists and turns that keep you guessing to the very end - ALL I CAN SAY IS: LISTEN To Brian Freemans' new series with Cab Bolton. TRY IT YOU MIGHT LIKE IT!

wish it was a different narrator

great story and plot, but I don't like the narrator. unfortunately I'm hooked on Freeman's books, and looks like it's the same narrator for all of them. guess I'm stuck with Joe Barrett's dramatic narration.

Great story, characters and narration

I am a big fan of Brian Freeman and find his characters believable and interesting without ever going over the top to caricature. I can't wait for the next Cab Bolton!

More like a soap opera

Cliched, trite and a veery poor imitation of a murder mystery. If it were not for Joe Barrett, I would have dumped it after a few corny sentences.

Enjoyable Listen

I love Cab Bolton stories and wish another would come out! It held my attention the entire time and I didn't feel there were any lulls. The ending was unexpected.

Cab Bolton - brains, looks & $-who can ask 4 more?

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

Yes I would. Why? Because it happens to be a good book with plenty of suspense and intrigue.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes it did. You really don't find out the whole story until the end. There are a few subplots that really could be a story by itself but mixed in to this story's main plot really adds to the twists.

What does Joe Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Joe Barrett is an excellent narrator. I first heard him doing Brian Freeman's Jonathan Stride novels. Now I look for books that he narrates.

Any additional comments?

I have either read or listened to all of Brian Freeman's books and have enjoyed everyone. This character is different then the J Stride novels in that this character has quite a bit if sarcastic humor thrown in where Stride maintains his seriousness. I thoroughly enjoy his style of writing. This book moved right along at a good clip. I didn't find any lulls and that's always a plus. It's been a while since The Bone House and I'm glad to see this character reappear. I certainly hope there will be more of him and Stride. I gave this Five Stars all around and Highly Recommend, it's worth the time.
