Abridged Audiobook
This is a fairly good mystery - I didn't guess who the killer was nor his motive. I also enjoyed the art information. However, I did not like the narrator. It was hard to differentiate between the characters, her male and female voices sounded exactly the same.
OK, the good stuff: I like Alison Janney's narrating most of the time. I love the art stuff, both factual and the creatively made up. Good characters, well-drawn, nice interactions and dialogue. Bad stuff: Janney starts out reading this like she's in a speed talking contest -- and winning!. Too too fast. Lots of characters and not too much to differentiate the minor ones and the bad guys. The "cold hit" of the title seems like a reach for a title as it's only mentioned twice, doesn't seem like it's that integral to the story, and Fairstein really has to push to get the phrase in. Just pick another title... Not bad, but there are probably better books out there to listen to. If you're out of other choices, this one will do.
I had never listened to a Linda Fairstein book before, so I probably missed some of the nuances from previous ones. This was an excellent mystery - kept me guessing, and I will definitely read more!
