50 shades of gray quality

I was so disappointed by this book! there are so many good reviews- I thought the romance would be secondary to the action, but this is 50 shades of gray with some murder/ crooked cops in a loose story in the background. The narrator does a good job and the plot was coherent enough to keep me listening (since I paid for it) but WOW is the writing bad. The number of times I heard “she’s not your type” “Jesus, I’m a cop for God’s sake” and “her eyes captured hers” made it VERY hard to keep listening. If you want some sex/romance poorly written with some exciting crime plot in the background , fine. If you want anything other than that- skip it.

Good book but...

Tiny Spoilers. Some of the story is definitely cringeworthy. The love story is almost as cringeworthy. I enjoyed the criminal aspect of it but the details are very uncomfortable.
Nicole is pretty awful. Especially at the end. This woman Jake saves her life and she just lets her limp away. Literally. I’m a lesbian and I would never ever let a sexy hero cop leave me. F every single thing else. The love story drags near the end. Completely frustrating. Because I listened to The Target first, I know how it ends. I rolled my eyes multiple times in the last hour. Sorry for the negative comments just be prepared.

Excellent!

I read The Killing Room years ago when it first came out and I loved it. Now on audio and narrated by Abby Craden? This was as exciting as a newly published Gerri Hill book.

Loved this book!

To say that I loved this book is really not enough.
There were nail biting moments as the murder mystery unfolded with twists I didn't see coming. The descriptions of the mountains, hot springs and woodland areas were awesome. The characters developed like a fine wine sipped by an open fire. Jake and Nicole were amazing together. I looked up the original publication date (2006) when I thought about lesbians being closeted vs now that they are more free from much of the discrimination of just the few years that have passed. The freedom to marry has made a world of difference.
I highly recommend this book for both romance and mystery.

Loved it!

I loved The Killing Room. Yes, I admit, it's not pretty. But it will hold your attention and keep you wondering. I loved the interaction between Jake and Nicole. Abby Craden is one of the best narrators in the business.

The combination of great story and great narration

Gerri Hill never disappoints her books are so good and this one is one of the best.
Someone said to me that even the phone book will be great if Abby Craden will narrate it so when you have this combination it is a bliss
Looking forward to the 3 new Gerri Hill books I have in my library

The Detective and the Psychologist

Now in the remote mountain cabin she owns, she find a lost hiker near the hot spring near her cabin. Instantly attracted to each other they have a wonderful time for two days. Now she and the Psychologist Nicole Westbrook are back in Denver and trying to find a serial killer who I preying in Nicole’s patients. Great mystery and romance. Marvelous performance and author. Recommend.

Better Than Expected!

It started out kind of slow and I debated continuing on however, once it picked up, I was all in. I couldn't put stop listening. I found every opportunity to listen because I was anxious to know what was going to happen next? Who was going to be next? One would've thought I was one of the detectives, I was reviewing facts trying to cone up with clues, too. If you love crime, drama and lesbian fiction, this book is definitely the one to go with.
