Resumen del Editor

In Wyoming for a medical conference, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles joins a group of friends on a spur-of-the-moment ski trip. But when their SUV stalls on a snow-choked mountain road, they’re stranded - with no help in sight.

As night falls, the group seeks refuge from the blizzard in the remote village of Kingdom Come, where 12 eerily identical houses stand dark and abandoned. Something terrible has happened in Kingdom Come: Meals sit untouched on tables, cars are still parked in garages. The town’s previous residents seem to have vanished into thin air, but footprints in the snow betray the presence of someone who still lurks in the cold darkness — someone who is watching Maura and her friends.

Days later, Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli receives the grim news that Maura’s charred body has been found in a mountain ravine. Shocked and grieving, Jane is determined to learn what happened to her friend. The investigation plunges Jane into the twisted history of Kingdom Come, where a gruesome discovery lies buried beneath the snow. As horrifying revelations come to light, Jane closes in on an enemy both powerful and merciless — and the chilling truth about Maura’s fate.

Over too soon

I've been listening to longer books, so this one is definitely less detailed. But because of that, the pace was quick and riveting.
I was a fan of the show, first, which is why I looked this up.
An easy listen, will be buying more.
The female narrator was overall very good and listenable. A few male voices took on the "doofus" sound - so maybe she only has one or two male voices she can do in her normal speaking tone for the lead characters, and the other secondary male characters come off sounding idiotic.

Love Jane And Maura

Now I'm hooked on Jane and Maura. Good Read. Well Edited and I could follow the plot easily even though its the abridged version.

Good strong story, until the end.

What made the experience of listening to Ice Cold the most enjoyable?

quick pace, good reader

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

it was a lackluster ending, it all came together like an afterthought.

What about Tanya Eby’s performance did you like?

great at deciphering between characters

NOT UNABRIDGED

I was trying to follow along with my hard copy and found that parts of the book was being skipped. I feel it was falsely advertised. But the narrator was great.
