“Ice Cold” by Tess Gerritsen
Review #123
A Rizzoli and Isles Mystery Novel
While in Wyoming for a pathologists' conference, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, agrees to join an old college acquaintance, his 13-year-old daughter, and two friends of his on a last-minute ski trip. Their journey goes awry when they are stranded during a snowstorm in a remote area and find their way to an apparently abandoned village called Kingdom Come.
During their search for food and other survival needs, the question becomes…what drove the residents from their 12 identical houses, leaving food on the table and pets behind to die? And…who is the man in the portrait they find prominently displayed in all the homes?
When one of the companions is severely injured during an attempt to escape the wilderness, another tries to ski out to get help. After two days of waiting for rescue, Isles decides she must make an attempt to get help before the injured man dies. On the trail, she becomes a target and a 16 year old boy becomes involved in trying to save her.
When the local police find what they believe to be Maura's charred body and those of her companions, Boston Detective Jane Rizzoli, her FBI agent husband, Gabriel Dean, and Father Daniel Brophy, travel to Wyoming to conduct their own investigation. Jane is determined to uncover what has happened to her friend!
These characters are on my favorites list and this book is too!
In July, TNT launched a new TV series, “Rizzoli and Isles”, based on the characters in this series of books.
