Jack Warr is a young DC with the Metropolitan Police. Charming but aimless, Jack can't seem to find his place in the world - until he's drawn into an investigation that turns his life upside down. In the aftermath of a fire at a derelict cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remnants of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes - the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her gang of Widows. Jack's assignment to the case coincides with an investigation into his own past.

Story
In a city as old as London, the discovery is hardly surprising. But when scratch marks are found on the inside of the coffin lid, Detective Jane Tennison believes she has unearthed a mystery far darker than any she's investigated before. However, not everyone agrees. Tennison's superiors dismiss it as a historic cold case and the Church seems desperate to conceal the facts from the investigation. It's clear that someone is hiding the truth and perhaps even the killer. Tennison must pray she can find both - before they are buried forever.

Listener Beware
Despite the 2010 publication date provided by Audible, I believe 2010 is either a republication date or the date the book was recorded. I mention this because "Cold Shoulder" is not the same quality fiction as Lynda La Plante's Jane Tennison or Anna Travis series.
In addition to unsympathetic characters and unnecessary length, it is the narrator who earns my review of "Cold Shoulder" the title Listener Beware. The narrator has only one voice to differentiate characters and that voice is an unpleasant, whiney stereotype of working class New Jersey. This is also inappropriate given that the book's setting is California.

Terrible Reader
The story was fine, but the reader was distractingly bad. Every character except the protagonist sounded like a 1920s cartoon gangster or Blanche Du Bois. Bizarre and ultimately annoying. The author also uses the odd Britishism (I believe she is British) like "18 stone," "row," or going to "get a curry" that sounds discordant in a book set among LA cops . Anyway, I am glad this one was included or I would definitely be returning it.

Painful
The story would have been tolerable, but the narrator made it painful. You know what to expect with Lynda La Plante. Nothing too cerebral, an escapist pot boiler. I dare say if I were reading rather than listening, I would have read the whole trilogy, but this is just too hard to listen to. I’ve been listening to audiobooks for many years and now have several hundred in my library, but I can honestly say that this is the worst narration I’ve heard and won’t be listening to the other books, no matter how enticing the sample (which it wasn’t). This is a narrator who makes children sound like cartoon characters and “grizzled” police sergeants sound like they’re in a sitcom - and don’t get me started on the topic of volume control!
In a word - dreadful.

It might be a great story, I don't know. I just couldn't last for more tha than 20 minutes. While the narrator voice is fine, all the characters are shouting all the time in high volume, which makes it impossible to listen

Worst narrator
I’m only on chapter 1 and the narrator is making my ears bleed. I have to use headphones at work and between her whispering the main characters and then screeching every other character, I’m not sure I can finish. Also it’s based in California so why did she decide to do NJ accents for half the characters ?! One last thing, baby talk is not necessary, we all know it’s a kid talking,

Culturally Inaccurate
The author is British and that is overly apparent. The setting however is Southern California, where I was born, raised, and still live. Natives to this area would you not refer to Indian food as a curry, we do not refer to money as notes we say bills, we refer to weight in pounds not stones. These are just a few of the cultural inaccuracies. There are too many to mention. She really should have had a Southern California editor read through to catch these errors.
Then there's the narrator. She gave most of the characters North Eastern American accents, which just doesn't work in the Southern California setting. They were cringy bad.
If you are not familiar with American culture specifically Southern California American culture you're probably not going to be bothered by the inaccuracies. There were just to many to ignore for me, which distracted from the story. I couldn't finish it. The characters weren't believable, which made me not care about them. I didn't care to see how it ended for any of them.
Disappointing 😞

Okay story with horrid audio-editing and narrator
There were a few reviews that really disliked the book which made me hesitant to buy it. But I really love everything I've read from Lynda La Plante so far (which is quite a lot) and so I decided to give this audiobook a go. Contrary to some other reviewers I had no trouble getting pulled into the story right away. I didn't think it had a slow start at all. I've enjoyed the story but the narrator did everything she could to ruin it for me. Her normal reading voice is - albeit somewhat nasal - pleasant enough to listen to. I'm always using headphones but that's not a good idea with this narrator. She uses a weird, horribly nasal, high pitched, shrieking voice for one of the female characters in the book which hurt my ears - I immediately had to turn the volume down every time the narrator was using this voice. She also made one of the male characters in the book sound as if he had a few roos loose in the top paddock. And again I had to turn down the volume with this character because it was really hurting my ears, which was incredibly irritating! But I guess that also has to do with some really bad audio editing, which I think is quite unacceptable considering it's not unthinkable that people will listen to this book using earbuds or headphones! And, like someone else already mentioned as well, the narrator uses accents for some of the characters that were really out of place. This story would have been way more enjoyable had the narrator refrained from using loud, nasal, shrieking New York (or thereabouts) accents. And that has nothing to do with the New York accent per se - give me Fran Drescher's the Nanny or Cindy Lauper anytime - but here it was misplaced, annoying and LOUD.

Worst book she has written
I have read every book and listen to most on audible.
This is the worst one she has written.
She has really stooped to the gutter for this material.
She should stay with British style and the Americans to theirs
This book is not what we expect from Lynda
It was bad I got as far as chapter 4 and that was enough

The reviews that criticise the narrator are mostly very generous! If it was a B movie radio show from the 50's then the accents would be bad, maybe get away with it as a farce of one? Usually I can tune out a narrator if necessary.....

Compelling intriguing murder mystery
Absolutely loved this first book in the trilogy, introducing the characters how alcohol can ruin your life, loose your job and your marriage to fail, Lorraine is truly a gutsy lady fighting her demons setting up a private investigating agency, making unlikely friends truly inspiring, narration really sets the scene and gives insight into the characters and alcoholism

Excellent
Loved the story, however the narrator l felt could not pull off so many differant people voices, especially the men.
Hoping book 2 is available soon.

DNF
I enjoyed the storyline but couldn’t handle the narration. The voices for the different characters were jarring, way too much for me. It’s a shame because I was enjoying the story

A change in circumstance
The story was ok. Many holes in police proceedure. The narrator has a lot voice, but unfortunately, the voices she uses in the narration are loud and especially grating. Very hard to listen to.

recovery
A great story about the twists and turns of life, and second chances, all mixed up with brutal murders and deceite. Excellently narrated.

average story, horrible narration
The story is rather average but might still enjoy listening to if one got time to kill, eg. on daily commute, the narration however is absolutely horrible, painful to listen to.

Outdated and transphobic
Depicts the old tired trope of trans people being deviant, immoral, perverted and murderous, along with endless amounts of outdated transphobic language. The cross dressing serial killer trope is both a terrible representation of trans people, and done to death, so it also isn’t an interesting thriller. We’ve seen/heard it too many times before. Depictions of sex workers aren’t great either. The narrators character voices are grating to listen to. Just a bad listen all round.

Good story, bad male voices
I didn't mind the narrator's voice throughout the book but the male voices were a little annoying at times
