Ice Cold

Rizzoli & Isles, Book 8

By: Tess Gerritsen

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

Something terrible has happened in the snowbound village of Kingdom Come, Wyoming, where 12 eerily identical houses stand dark and abandoned. Meals remain untouched on dining room tables, cars are still in garages, and the town's residents have vanished into thin air. This is the disturbing setting where vacationing medical examiner Maura Isles and her traveling companions find themselves trapped during a ferocious snowstorm. Thinking they've found a safe haven, they soon realize that they are not alone in the valley....someone is watching.

After one of their party is injured, Maura sets out to find help. But just as she leaves the village, she is attacked and dragged into the woods. A blow falls and the world goes black. Searching for her friend and colleague, police detective Jane Rizzoli's investigation leads her to the abandoned valley and a gruesome discovery. But it turns out Maura's not dead--she's on the run, forced to place her life in the hands of the unlikely savior who has kept her alive until now: a 16-year-old boy.

Good story, not a fan of the narrator.

I enjoyed the story after following the Rizzoli and Isles series closely (book and television series) but could not get into the narrator. She was ok at distinguishing characters but somewhat monotone or robotic.

Rosalie and isles good stories

I enjoyed reading about Jane and Maura but I think I started at the 10th book and now I need to go back and find out because where I started Jane has a husband and a kid and Maura has been divorced for 4 year. However I’m not getting a deal on theses books You pay for the books and the you pay for the audio.

Suspense all the way

A good thriller, which keeps up the suspense all the way through. This was my first foray into the Tess Gerritsen series, although my daughters read all her books. Thoroughly enjoyable. Undertones of cult leaders who lead their flocks into annihilation and destruction. Nicely narrated.

I love Tess Gerritson

This is an excellant book. It kept me guessing til the end. If you like Rissoli and Isles this is a winner.

Book left me cold

What did you love best about Ice Cold?

Twist and turns gave interest to the book, kept you reading on.

Would you be willing to try another book from Tess Gerritsen? Why or why not?

I liked her style and intend to read some more of her books.

What about Tanya Eby’s performance did you like?

The reader did a nice job.

Any additional comments?

The book felt unfinished. I wanted to know what happened to Maura. Did she follow through with her plan to leave her relationship with the preist.
