Ice Cold

What a suspenseful mystery novel!  It could be a great screen play as there was so much action throughout. The heroine, Dr. Isles, had to cross country ski to find help, and then had to climb mountainous terrain to escape death.  However, the book had a disconnect. Once Maura had left the compound on her skis, there was no reporting on the three characters left behind.  They disappeared from the novel, and the reader was introduced to new characters, some good and some evil.  Yet Father Daniel, who should be the one representing morality, forces Maura to make a life-altering decision. A fast read.
