Ice Cold A Rizzoli Isles Novel Tess Gerritsen 9780345515483 Books

Not that her other books aren't good, it's just that some are better than others. This one definitely stands out. It starts with Dr. Isles who heads to a pathologist conference in Wyoming. There, she met up with an old college buddy, his daughter and his friends. When their car brakes down in a mountain, the group takes refuge in one of many abandoned cabins. Little by little Maura and the group find clues suggesting that something had went terribly wrong. Homes and vehicles were abandoned; windows were left open and food left waiting on the table to freeze. At the climax of the story, it almost becomes a completely different monster. It becomes focused on cults and corruption. The first half of the story is focused on fear and survival, key elements of a good horror story. The story always remains suspenseful until the very end(and I mean that). There is a shocking revelation waiting behind every other chapter. There is also a lot going on in Maura's personal life and by the end she will have to make a decision that will greatly affect her love life. This is one book in the series that you must not miss out on. Personally, I felt that the focus on mythology in The Mephisto Club and archaeology in The Keepsake nearly over-shadowed the plot of those books. But Ice Cold starts off like a really good and realistic horror movie and then turns into a manhunt. I prefer this one over the last two titles in the series and I strongly recommend it.

Ice Cold A Rizzoli Isles Novel Tess Gerritsen 9780345515483 Books Reviews

Unfortunately this story is very real in many isolated communities. People looking for a place to belong, no matter what the cost. Ice Cold reveals the monsters who take these lost and lonely people. They turn them into mindless sheep willing to do anything to gain favor with the master.
Tess Garretson does a masterful job describing the lives of these communities. Between Jane and Maura she lays bare the awful truth amid lies and lust. This is truly a spellbinding revelation of how people can be bent and twisted and have absolutely no concept of what is happening to them.
This is one of those novels you just can't put down.
I loved this book...it's hard for me to give anything 5 stars, but 4 stars for "I liked it" didn't seem right! First of all, I'm a fan of the TV series, so I enjoyed knowing and visualizing the characters. It started out slowly for me. I thought Maura was going to be whiny and wasn't prepared for her seemingly hang-dog attitude. Maybe that was how she started on the show and I may have missed those first episodes. I also LOVED the fact that Rizzoli was happily married with a child and still the Rizzoli I have come to know and love.

Once you get to the crux of the book, things just kept happening and I couldn't put it down. It was fast-paced and a very enjoyable read. I use books like this to escape, to experience something emotional and just to enjoy...it's not necessary for me to learn or read what some folks calI IMPORTANT BOOKS all the time. If you're looking for a little escapism and excitement and can't-wait-to-find-out-what-happens-next reading, this book is for you! If, as some others say, this is the 'weakest book of the series,' I can't wait to read more from Tess Gerritsen...I'm so excited to find a new author who already has several books for me to read. It's the best present EVER!
In the opening pages of Ice Cold A Rizzoli & Isles Novel, we catch a glimpse of a group of people living on a compound in Plain of Angels, Idaho, called The Gathering. Their leader, Jeremiah Goode, is fixated on a beautiful young woman named Katie.

What happens next will remain a mystery to the reader until the very end.

Sixteen years later, Dr. Maura Isles is headed to a medical conference in Wyoming, and when she arrives, she meets up with an old friend in attendance, also a doctor. Meanwhile, she has left behind a relationship in Boston that is not working; she is grateful to have a breather.

What will happen to Maura, her friend Doug Comley, and two other associates of his in the upcoming days? How will a ski trip turn into a life and death situation? Why does everyone back in Boston believe that Maura is dead? How will Jane Rizzoli convince the authorities to keep searching? And what will Jane, and then Maura, uncover about the mysterious happenings at Kingdom Come?

I was on the edge of my seat as the suspense built rapidly, and at every turn, a new threat would present itself. I rooted for Maura, and even as danger mounted, the author offered a glimpse of Jane and her husband, Gabriel, an FBI agent, working to follow the clues and discover what had happened to her. There were several realistic characters who played a part in what unfolded in this story, including a young teenager who helped Maura, and a ferocious social worker who turned out to have a surprising history. This was my first read from the series, but I’ll be back for more. 4.5 stars.
