🇳🇱: Dit boek was echt verassend goed. Ik heb deze ooit gekocht in de bieb en ik heb hem sinsdien in de kast liggen. Het boek is heel goed geschreven en mijn aandacht bleef er goed bij. Het verhaal heeft verschillende plot twists en elke vermoedelijke dader had een goed motief om de moord eventueel te plegen. Ook vond ik het leuk dat je naarmate het verhaal vorderd je verder achter het leven van de hoofdpersoon komt! Het einde vond ik ook echt heel spannend. De moordenaar had ik half aan zien komen en half niet.

🇬🇧: this book was suprising. I bought it in the library once and since then it has been laying on my bookshelf. The book has been written very well and my attention was drawn to it. Every suspect had a good motive to commit the murder. It was also a nice touch that you get to know the main character. You discover her whole life story as the story line continues. The end was very tense and exciting. I kind of predicted the murderer but not completely!

What a page turner! When the body of a woman is found frozen in ice, detective Erika Foster is brought on to lead the case. Facing backlash from her dark past she soon realizes that this case could be the breaking point of her career. Erika doesn't stop and leaves no stones unturned to find justice for the victim. I've always been such a fan of police procedural's, and love when they include a strong female lead. I will note that at times I felt like the character was going a bit too far and really risking her career, but understood the whole "I have nothing else to lose" motto. It was nice to finally see someone stand up for what they believed in and who wouldn't take no for an answer.

I was hooked into the investigation from the start, and tried to solve the case as the story unfolds. When it felt like everything was coming together, another twist was thrown in and took the reader on a loop. I truly didn't see the ending coming. I enjoyed having the killer's POV thrown in, as it created a sense of unease and allowed us to realize how dangerous for Erika this case would be. From the moment I picked up this book, I didn't want to put it down and I look forward to continuing the series as all of the characters were loveable in my opinion.
