New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen’s relentless, inventive novels take readers on pulse-racing thrill rides that are as satisfying as they are heart-stopping. Now, in this edge-of-your-seat suspense novel, a mysteriously isolated town stands abandoned as a silent watcher waits.
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 twelve 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.

Maura Isles was heartbroken. She was in a relationship with Daniel Brophy, a Catholic priest, and things weren't going well.
Boston medical examiner, 42 year old, Dr. Maura Isles is attending a convention in Wyoming. She joins some old friends on a ski trip to the nearby snow covered mountains. Their SUV stalls out on a remote snowy road as a blizzard strikes and the mystery begins and the plot thickens and you won't ever guess the ending!
Several days later, Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli learns of Maura's death as her charred body was found in a ravine. Grieving Jane vows to learn what happened to her friend. Accompanying her to Wyoming is FBI agent Gabriel Dean and Father Daniel Brophy.
The reader will probably lose some sleep over this one! This is a wonderful suspense thriller that will keep the reader breathless throughout!

Best I've read in a long time August 31, 2010

Great book. Great page turner. Couldn't get anything else done until I finished this book.
ICE COLD by Tess Gerritsen August 31, 2010
Destiny Booze (Virginia)
Medical Examiner Maura Isles is a planner with a demanding career that depends on very careful attention to detail. But, things don't always go according to plan, do they? She sure didn't plan on becoming stranded on a mountain in the middle of a blizzard fighting for her life, yet here she is...
To the outside world, Medical Examiner Maura Isles may look a bit boring. She's a workaholic, a list maker, one to always follow the rules. But, looks can be deceiving. Wouldn't it surprise everyone to know that she is having a secret affair with a priest?
Maura even surprises herself when she agrees to take an unscheduled ski trip with an old friend, his daughter and a couple she doesn't know. Things go terribly wrong when their car skids off the road, leaving them stranded. A large snow storm is on the way and it has begun to fall. They are trapped with no way to call for help.
Even more terrifying, they don't think they are alone. Someone is stalking them and it sure doesn't seem like whoever it is wants to offer help. Will Maura be able to survive?
ICE COLD by Tess Gerritsen is a well rounded helping of everything I love to read. There was high energy, high suspense, surprising curves in every chapter and an underlying dark mystery that I had to keep reading to solve. I really connected with the main character, Maura. She has a quiet, inner strength about her that had me routing for her from the starting line.
I highly recommend this book for all suspense and mystery lovers. The romantic element here is very minimal. It's noteworthy to mention that readers looking for a good romance will most likely feel cheated with this one. With that said, if you don't mind just a hint of the love story with plenty of action, adventure, mystery and suspense, you will truly enjoy this book.
This review was written for Romance Junkies.
Rizzoli and Isles Fans Won't be Disappointed August 29, 2010
Jude Hardin
As usual, Tess starts with an intriguing premise and expertly weaves a thrilling tale of suspense with plenty of surprises along the way. With a pulse-pounding climax and a heart-wrenching conclusion, this might be the best yet in the series. Highly recommended.
