Bestseller Fairstein’s lackluster 18th novel featuring ADA Alexandra “Coop” Cooper finds Coop traumatized by her recent kidnapping (in 2015’s Devil’s Bridge), jumping at every noise and self-medicating with alcohol. When a newly identified body of a young woman requires her lover, NYPD homicide detective Mike Chapman, to return to work, Coop pushes her way into the investigation despite the doubts—from her and those around her—of her readiness to deal with the aftermath of violent crimes. The apparent suicide of a high-fashion designer, Wolf Savage, interrupts the first case until the two victims are tied to each other. When the suicide starts to look like murder, Mike reluctantly allows Coop to help on the two cases. Shaky and unsure of herself, Coop navigates her way through the world of high fashion, scheming family members, and Wolf’s complicated past as she deals with her own personal and professional issues. Fairstein is coasting in this entry, whose ending sets up the plot for the next installment, in which she’ll hopefully return to form. Author tour. Agent: Esther Newberg, ICM.
Barbara Rosenblat offers her usual high-quality performance in Linda Fairstein's eighteenth Alexandra Cooper novel. Since she's narrated every one of the audiobooks featuring the Manhattan prosecutor, Rosenblat knows the characters well, and her portrayals of "Coop" and sidekicks Mike and Mercer are spot-on. This time, Fairstein reveals machinations behind the scenes of Manhattan's dying fashion industry. Alex is supposed to stay home and recover from her recent ordeal (DEVIL'S BRIDGE), but when Wolf Savage, head of an haute couture company, is found dead with his head in a plastic bag full of helium, models, mayhem, and murder take center stage. Rosenblat delivers an agitated Alex suffering from PTSD, in denial and self-medicating with alcohol. Each character's voice is distinct and immediately recognizable. Rosenblat is just plain amazing. Start at the beginning of this intelligent series. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
