Great mystery, realistic heroine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Enjoyed this mystery thoroughly. Not only was the plot well thought out and well written, portrayal of Lorraine Page and her life was realistic, gritty, and left no rock unturned. I didn't find this story depressing, I found it hopeful. I enjoy stories that don't sugarcoat the bad things that happen but also leave the reader hopeful that there are good, smart people who can overcome adversity and catch the bad guys! Her fellow compatriots, Rosie (sweet and optimistic) and Rooney (tough, unperfect cop with a big heart) are interesting as well. This is the kind of book you keep so you can read it again! If you like a good whodonit with realistic characters and an interesting plot, you'll like this book.
Gripping, Suspence, Moving, ...just Fantastic

I thoroughly enjoyed all of the 'cold' series, I could not put any of the books down. I found they all were equally enjoyable, and I learned to love Lorriane as a friend. I was hoping for another sequel, it is sad to see her go. An excellently written novel, well done Lynda!!!
ABSOLUTLEY SUPER DUPER!!!!!!!

Cold Shoulder is good, Cold Heart is not.

I recently submitted a review for "Cold Shoulder". I kept referring to Cold Shoulder when I meant to refer to Cold Heart. Of the "Cold" series, "Cold Blood", and "Cold Shoulder" were excellent. "Cold Heart" was the stinker. Sorry for the confusion.
COLD SHOULDER--a hot read!

i've only seen one of the PRIME SUSPECT mini-series on PBS (PS #1) and only read one novelization (PS #3), so i came to la plante as a near novice. COLD SHOULDER is an amazing police thriller for people who enjoy character-driven storylines. for much of the book, the mystery takes a backseat to the spychological explorations of the main character--30-something lorraine page. seldom have i encountered a more fascinating and multi-dimensional character as page. at 452-pages, this is a tremendously readable page-turner that i couldnt put down. i carried it everywhere for more than a week. and i can't wait to spread the word to friends looking for the new patricia cornwell.
