Cold Case

A Barbara Holloway Mystery

De: Kate Wilhelm

Narrado por: Carrington MacDuffie

Controversial author and scholar David Etheridge is not the kind of company an aspiring politician wants to keep. But ambitious senator Robert McCrutchen has a history with Etheridge that he's desperately trying to keep under wraps: 22 years ago, both men were investigated in the still-unsolved death of a young coed.

When Etheridge returns to Oregon, McCrutchen is his grudging host - until the senator is found shot dead. Now, Etheridge is once again suspected of murder, only this time, with the cold case reopened, he's facing a double charge.

Attorney Barbara Holloway must battle both the prosecution and the court of public opinion, which has already tried and convicted Etheridge for both murders. As the pressure mounts, Barbara must risk her own life to protect a client and preserve justice.

What a Ride!

Fun & exciting trip to Belize!! Finding herself in a tangle of drugs & money!

Cold case

Always a pleasure listening to Kate her stories are exciting and surprise endings are always a pleasure she is one of my favorites

Fruit of the vine

When she is not extolling the pleasures of a glass of fine wine, Kate Wilhelm tells a fine story of murder and mystery in the State of Oregon. This is another entertaining adventure of Barbara Holloway and her cast of supporting characters. The Plot is well done and moves at a good pace. However, the story is a bit slow to develop. Narration is very well done and is a solid addition to this book. Recommend this for lovers of the genre.

Slow burn

Really enjoyed this one. It was a slow burn but quite a twist and HEA!

Cold Case

This is the first time I listened to this author. Enjoyed the storyline and the charaters. I will be seleting more of her books. I am excited to have found this Author.

Good listen

I always enjoy Kate Wilhelm's books. The story is always intersting with good solid characters and the narration is good.

not the best if you like the courtroom drama.

I enjoy Kate Wilhelm's series about her lady lawyer Barbara. I especially like the courtroom where Barbara really shines her cross examinations are wonderful. The last 2 books I have read in the series don't enter the courtroom and it is strickly a procedural with Barbara constantly complaining about how much sleep she is not getting. The case is complex but there isn't a lot happening until the last chapter.

I’m about out!

This is another great story with an unexpected twist.

Im about at the end of the series.
I hope Kate is working on more!

A little hard to follow at first but picks up

I'm not crazy about the reader, she over-enunciates and doesn't add much to the story. The basic premise requires one to suspend reality a bit as the story starts from a party held at the home of one obnoxious college student who nobody seems to like much yet he becomes a successful politician who no one hates. The other 2 primary story subjects weren't friends or big fans of the future politician so why would they go to a party at his parents house? For the free beer? Hard to say. Once you suspend reality for that issue it is an interesting mystery. Kept me entertained and thinking for a little while.

Food

The whole series has so much reference of Food and eating. They are ALWAYS eating. Frank must be the size of Jabba the Hut Lol. It just gets annoying after awhile like okay okay move along with the plot.
