Summary: Cold Hit
Review: Stick with Phillip Margolin and John Grisham. Very boring. You will get tired of reading about what liquor the main character drinks and how cultured she is....too boring to finish.

Summary: No exciting buildup to get to the predictable end.
Review: The every day happenings in the lives of the main characters were boring and predictable. I never felt their true personalities were made known to the reader. Key events were not reached through exciting or mysterious build-up so were greeted with neither surprise nor inspiration.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: art lesson
Review: the reality of politics and perceptions in law enforcement. sumptuous columbo-like setting of the nyc art world. suspects killed off along the way eliminating the need for the courtroom. conventional cliff-hanger ending.still,above average.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Awesome!
Review: This is an utterly fantastic book where Alex Cooper, Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace have done it again! Very difficult to put down and a page turner! Alex, Mike and Mercer have taken me again on a roller coaster ride of events happening and introduced me to the Art World.

I highly recommend this book in the series of Alexandra Cooper! Great job--again--Linda!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply awesome! Linda--and Alex--have done it again!!
Review: This is another page turner by Linda Fairstein, whose characters of Alex Cooper, Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace are friends and loved ones to all. They're a wonderful team!

"Cold Hit" brought me into a world of art I've never experienced but have the burning desire to learn more about. Alex and Mike have taken me places I've never imagined I'd go.

Linda, I hope you write your next novel quickly because I can't get enough of "The Dream Team" of Alex, Mike and Mercer!! You MUST work on a movie deal for this book as it was fast paced with another fantastic plot! Keep up the great work. Donna

Summary: Alex Cooper keeps going like the Energizer Bunny
Review: This lady goes from strength to strength. Once again we see Alexandra Cooper, the Assistant District Attorney for the Sex Crimes Unit of Manhattan. Only this time she finds herself with a body being pulled out of the river, but the woman is expensively dressed and tied to a ladder, with no identification.

It is not the easiest of cases, we find all kinds of skullduggery in the genteel art world, with forgery and faked provenance and Alex gets a bit too close to the murderer in this one, only narrowly escaping being shot, although unfortunately Mercer Wallace is hit, which is all rather too real.

I never imagined Art Galleries to inspire the kind of passions that abound in this book, I know that money will drive people to extremes and this is well illustrated here, but this really is the ugly side to beautiful artworks.

Nevertheless, as a subject for murder, it is a gripping plot. I know that sidekicks are not as immune as central characters, but Mercer and Mike are too central to be the victim of homicidal lunatics, but here we see that they can have a little scare, just to remind us that it is a terrible place for the good guys.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cold Hit....A Hit With Me
Review: This was the first in the Alexandra Cooper series I read and I really enjoyed it so I will be adding the rest of the series to my TBR pile. The characters are appealing, the story extremely well written and Linda Fairstein really knows her stuff! The story involved the art word and the Gardener Museum heist and being an Art History major I found it all exceedingly fascinating. A joy to read and it really should be in your must read pile!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh, my . . .
Review: What a find in Linda Fairstein! I read Final Jeopardy and enjoyed the book. (I picked it up because I am a "Jeopardy" fan.) I liked it, so I moved on to Likely to Die. I liked that one, too. So, naturally, I picked up Cold Hit. When I got to the end of one chapter and found myself sitting in my chair at 1am on a weekday morning (I leave for the office at 6:30 am), with my hand over my mouth saying, "Oh, my. . .!" Well, this is by far the best! Read it now!
