GET READY FOR THE CURTAIN CALL...

USA TODAY & Amazon 2-million copy bestselling author BLAKE BANNER is at his best in this mystifying crime series!

Detective John Stone is taking early retirement. He has informed the chief, Inspector John Newman; and his partner and wife, Carmen Dehan, is retiring with him. She is pregnant and both Stone and Dehan want a safe, secure environment for their future child. Their sights are set on New England, where Stone will write his memoirs.

So the last thing either of them expects is a curtain call from one of Stone’s old flames. Yet that is exactly what happens when actress Jane Morley, wife of Dan Santos, known collectively as America’s Sweethearts, shows up and asks Stone to investigate a very particular cold case – the brutal murder of her friend and personal assistant, Kate Hagan, ten years earlier.

At the time Stone had refused to investigate because he had recently been personally involved with the actress. Now he can’t refuse, but as the case unfolds and its dark shadows threaten to engulf his marriage and his future family, he will wish fervently that he could.

But he know beyond doubt that all he can do is see it through to the bitter, twisted end.

What an outstanding series

I just finished the final book of the series, It finished with a happily ever after send off. It was a great finish. This was well worth listening to. The attention to detail was perfect.

Curtain call by Blake Banner

Love the progression of the series. Also Adam Grupper is just great as detective stone. His voice is exactly the way I would expect a detective to sound like and I can just picture what he must look like.

does not disappoint

the final book in the dead cold series is yet another masterpiece of twists and turns that I couldn't stop listening to. I've enjoyed this series so much I just might listen to them all again.

loved the whole series.

i love when i find a series that i cam enjoy all the way through. biggest dislike is that it is done!

Wow I loved loved loved this series !!!

I have listened to all 30 books !! Really loved the characters and how each book was so unique. The author has a great way of bringing each character to life. The way he made the two main characters come to life was awesome. I know they are just characters in a book but I feel as though I know them personally. The murder mysteries were each very unique and exciting to follow. I loved trying to figure out who the murderer was along with the stories. The narrator was awesome and he made the stories come to life. His different voices were so unique that they made you feel as if, there were a lot of characters there reading a script. I loved how he could do so many different languages, accents, male, female, etc. he has got to be one of my favorite narrators now it’s sad that the series has come to an end, but I do love how it ended.

Tell me it’s not the end!

I have enjoyed this series so much. Listed to them all in order except 27 & 28 because I could not find them in audiobook. I will miss Stone & Dedham and the mysteries they solve. Great series!

Why did this series have to turn political?!

Initially, I really enjoyed this series. The characters were fun, the cases interesting, and the narrator is wonderful performer. However, around book 20 a previously subtle theme suddenly became far more prominent. It progressively became a persistent commentary about the “thought police” and “woke culture” and the liberal or minority characters were increasingly portrayed as strident, immoral, morons. Fiction is my escape from political and societal wrangling. This series twisted into somebody’s macho savior fantasy, glorifying police brutality and overreach. It was truly disappointing. This final book was the worst of them, and I’m glad they are over.

It was clear who it was

It was clear who it was and it was about an hour too long. I wanted it to be better since it was the last one. But I still listened and will miss stone.
