BD Smith scores big with this debut mystery guaranteed to keep you flipping pages! Brilliant character development, including the winter Maine setting, which becomes a character in itself. Definitely recommend. ( ) It's an adequate mystery. The narrative style is a bit distant so I wasn't drawn in to the story as quickly as I have been in other books of this genre. I'm still not sure if the title refers to the women killed and placed in the lake/ice in Maine during winter or if it was meant to be a reference to women with chilly outer demeanors such as Anne Quinn or Beth. I did suspect the character who turned out to be the killer and that the killer might be involved with others who were part of a certain group, but I also was misled by a second character's words and behavior--so I don't know if that constitutes solving the whodunit or not. I'm not quite sure what's driving Beth. We aren't told if she does decide to follow through on her plans to move away that are mentioned in this book. Dr. Blood hints that it somehow relates to Beth's parents rather than to Doug or Beth's relationship with Doug. Doug and Anne are interesting characters. Will they end up together? Or will the author keep doing the will they/won't they dance and string it out so long that the readers lose interest? That might be the only reason I'd seek out more books in the series. I was in two minds about this book. On the one hand it gave me too much background information about the characters. Some is good but I don't want to know about their brothers and sisters who don't feature in the story. Also I skimmed the many pages detailing the autopsies. However, the actual murder mystery was well done; an enjoyable story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
