    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin “delivers another top-notch thriller" (RT Book Reviews) in her beloved Tracers series, about a leading forensic anthropologist who uncovers eerie clues in a high-stakes case that threatens to deliver her to the doorstep of a cold-blooded murderer.

    When local rock climbers stumble upon abandoned human bones in a remote Texas gorge, Sara Lockhart is the first to get the call. She has a reputation as one of the nation’s top forensic anthropologists, and police detective Nolan Hess knows she is just the expert he needs to help unravel this case. Although evidence is scarce, Nolan suspects the bones belong to a teenage climber who vanished last summer.

    But as Sara unearths strange clues, she finds chilling similarities to a case from her past—a case that now threatens to rock Nolan’s community. While Sara digs deep for answers, the stakes rise higher as another young woman disappears without a trace. Investigators work against the clock as Sara races to discover the truth, even if her harrowing search brings her face to face with a stone-cold killer.

    With her signature breathless pacing and suspenseful twists and turns, Stone Cold Heart demonstrates why “Laura Griffin never fails to put me on the edge of my seat” (USA TODAY).

    • 5/5
      Excellent mystery. Didn't figure out the killer until the end. Good character development. Included CSI technical descriptions, and great love scenes. Not too mushy, but half romance half thriller - if you prefer less romance, perhaps won't be your cup of tea. There is depth to the writing, though.
    • 3/5
      Delphi Center forensic anthropologist, Sara Lockhart, is called in when a couple of recreational hikers discover several bones in a local park. Detective Nolan Hess suspects that the bones belong to a teenager who has been missing for several months. Once Sara starts on the case, she and her team dig up several more bones leading them to believe that there is a serial killer at work in Nolan's small community. As the clues continue to mount up, Sara and Nolan come closer to finding the killer, but their attraction to one another threatens to derail the investigation that they have both been working hard to solve.
      Stone Cold Heart is another good Tracers novel involving lots of forensic evidence and several suspects who might have been involved with one or more of the killings. Sara and Nolan have baggage in their pasts that make them reluctant to to become involved with each other but are likable enough to make the reader root for them to overcome their personal issues. Overall, a good installment in the Tracers Series.
    • 4/5
      Sara is drawn into the case of a missing girl. Actually, more than one missing girl. As a forensic anthropologist, she works closely with Nolan, a police detective. The story grows in intensity and suspense as they follow clues and tract down leads. There is also a growing relationship between these two, as their chemistry clicks and they admit to the mutual attraction. The mystery is a good one, and the attention to the details of the case and its solution are well-written and intriguing. I am not a fan of so much detailed romance in a mystery, but that is the genre here, and it’s not fair to penalize the book for being what it is. I would rather have had more of the workings of the police and the forensics and much less of the steamy sex.
    • 5/5
      Laura Griffin is one of those plot driven writers that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. All of the books in her series pick up with a different character, but you’ll recognize familiar faces along the way! I’d put this up there in my favorites!
    • 3/5
      This was OK. I liked Nolan and Sara together, but the case wasn't terribly gripping for some reason.
    • 4/5
      I have read almost every book in this series. It is one of my top favorites currently in release. Which, I am happy to report that author, Laura Griffin is one of my favorite authors. Every time that I pick up the next book in this series, I can read them fast enough. Usually, one day book reads for me.Sara was awesome. I loved that she got right into the investigation. She did not wait. She was traversing down cliff walls to get the job done. She sure impressed Detective Nolan Hess. Speaking of the "handsome" Detective. He may have been the man in charge but he did back off and allow Sara to do her job. They worked well together. If you are looking for your next thriller, you need not look any further. Treat yourself and pick up a copy of Stone Cold Heart! See why I love this series and author.
