Summary

Something terrible has happened in the snowbound village of Kingdom Come, Wyoming, where 12 eerily identical houses stand dark and abandoned. Meals remain untouched on dining room tables, cars are still in garages, and the town's residents have vanished into thin air. This is the disturbing setting where vacationing medical examiner Maura Isles and her traveling companions find themselves trapped during a ferocious snowstorm. Thinking they've found a safe haven, they soon realize that they are not alone in the valley....someone is watching.

After one of their party is injured, Maura sets out to find help. But just as she leaves the village, she is attacked and dragged into the woods. A blow falls and the world goes black. Searching for her friend and colleague, police detective Jane Rizzoli's investigation leads her to the abandoned valley and a gruesome discovery. But it turns out Maura's not dead--she's on the run, forced to place her life in the hands of the unlikely savior who has kept her alive until now: a 16-year-old boy.

One of my favourite Rizzoli and Isles books.

Any of the Rizzoli and Isles books get top marks in my view, and this is another good job by the author. I also think Lorelei King is one of the best narrators out there. Top marks for her as well.

Ice Cold one of the best

Very well constructed story kept us guessing to the end. The storytelling takes you straight to the freezing temperatures of the story and keeps you there with the chilling conclusion ! My favourite So far.

Breath-taking right to the very end.

A tale with more twists that a corkscrew, that kept me guessing right to the very last page. Well worth the time spent listening and can't wait for some more.

Another great outing for Rizzoli & Isles

I really enjoyed this story with Maura Isles in the centre of the action. The beginning is fairly slow paced but this draws you in to the environment before the action intensifies.
Kept me on the edge of my seat right to the end. Tanya Eby is a very good narrator.

Chilling Adventure, couldn't stop listening!

Totally different from the preceding books in this series. This is not a Police procedural or detective thriller but a harrowing adventure following a wrong turn. Set in an icy wilderness, well drawn characters make this a relatable journey of snowballing events that could happen to anyone where the enemy isn't just another human but a whole barrage of terrible circumstances, innocent mistakes & bad luck. Highly recommended.

A strong start but a weaker finish

This is the second Gerritsen book I've read. In both books, I feel the story is started really well and you develop an interest for the characters and the story but it doesn't continue as strongly.

*SPOILERS BELOW*

The main issue which lets this book down is that there's no strong antagonist. We're not told who killed Moira's group beyond "the cult". I know there is the leader who controls everything but he's not really featured in it bar just his mention as the cult leader and the one scene we see him in when he's performing in front of his crowd. Also, the way the group of friends die isn't handled well. We are left with them waiting for help, next it cuts to them being dead. Because it was done like that I wasn't sure straight away it was them in the burnt-out car. It also seemed ridiculous to me that they would just take a dead woman to be someone because there was an ID in the car. Surely you'd confirm with dental records since they were so easy to get, especially in such an unexplained car crash?
