Cold To The Touch follows Detective Beans who is devastated when he recognises the latest victim of a serial killer terrorising the Alaskan town, Anchorage. Beans is determined to find the person responsible before more bodies pile up.

I had so much fun with this book and I was genuinely shocked when I discovered that this was the author’s debut procedural novel. I found the book engaging, fast-paced and the characters were ones that you couldn’t help but root for.

I would personally love to read a standalone series about Detective Beans and other cases he solved. I think this has a fantastic opportunity to breathe life into a universe like that.

I was fortunate to listen to this ARC copy via audiobook and I highly recommend it. I feel that it added to the suspense and the overall atmosphere of the book. 

This is a book I would recommend to others who love a good mystery.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for providing me with this audiobook. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
